Recently my car has had some traction control problems. When ever I make a wide turn like on ramps and such, at cruising speeds of about 20mph+, my rear tires briefly lock multiple times, and make a grinding sound like the DSC is kicking in. My car has always done that since I got it, but not nearly as bad, and i just thought that it was my tires rubbing a little bit. But last week I got new tires installed, and now it does it more often and more dramtically. I have 225/45 91Y's on all 4. When i replaced my tires my rear were completely bald, but the front still had plenty of tread left... And I never burn out, or drive too aggressively.

So over the weekend I took my car to Les Schwabb to get it checked out. Apparently the issue is my DSC.... the car thinks it is losing traction around corners and locking my wheels. When I have DSC off, it drives perfectly. Are my sensors just going out? I think possibly I am having some electrical issues anyway because my brake light always stays on.

Anyway, I was hoping someone else has had a similar issue and they could help me with this. I'd appreciate any info.

Well, I don't have an answer for you, but I hope somebody does because I'm experiencing the same issue. I've had it happen both on long sweeping curves and tight 90 degree curves pulling into parking lots. In my case, it's always on a right hand turn. I've been wondering if I have an overly sensitive sensor.
