Took my car out late last night and ran perfect through the snow. We had about 6" fall throughout the day.

This morning woke up to streets still unplowed by my house and had to drive through where a plow crossed... Hit the highway and around 45mph+ espcially at 60 the car was going crazy. Felt like a wheels was about to come off. Continuous pulsing feeling, very very bad.

Only lasted a couple of miles then got off at the next ramp. 3 lights are on now...

In the main display: 4x4 with a half round arrow going counter clockwise around a triangle.
Lights on: Brake (yellow but not red) + Triangle with 1/2 circle arrow.

I did look in by my front axles, everything looked fine... noticed a lot of snow built up behind the wheel and may have been touching it, knocked those off... tread had snow built up in there as well...

Snow in the wheel-well causing a massive mis-balance? snow on a sensor? thoughts?

Car feels perfect up to 40-45... then...

Well find out this afternoon hopefully!
Dropped it off at the dealership this morning to have it looked at.

Oh boy...

Well, 40-45 seems like a reasonable speed to drive in 6" of snow on public roads.

All the best.

You just got snow packed in the wheels and the snow/ice is causing the wheel to be unbalanced.

Knock the snow ice off or let it melt and it will fix itself. Had this happen a few times and just had to get out and clean out the wheels.

That was on the plowed roads. Haha.

Thanks for the responses. I had the car in the garage overnight but its not heated. Just pretty much covered...


There must have been a bunch of snow, it was crazy bad

Apologies...I actually was scanning too quickly and missed your actual question. Glad you took my comment in a good spirit.

...but you've dropped the car at the dealership so there's not much need for us to speculate on what it is...they'll surely tell you what needs fixing. At least you're still covered by the new car warranty, so it shouldn't be a major expense.

All the best.
