Tonight when I left work I was accelerating slowly and suddenly felt a loss in power. I looked at the dash and saw the traction control light blinking. As there was traffic I was accelerating very lightly, nowhere near spinning a tire. The pavement was dry and clean as well. I took my foot completely off the gas and the light kept blinking, I also felt some steering input, presumably from the advance trac? When I applied the brakes I felt several strong pulsations in the pedal and heard some clunking too.
The car seemed to settle down as I stopped for traffic but as soon as I got underway again the traction light started blinking again. No steering inputs or clunking this time and after a few more seconds, the TCS stopped blinking and the car returned to normal. No further issues then remaining 40 miles to home.
What was going on?
