Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“My 2005 pt cruiser is equipped with anti-lock brakes and a traction control system. During a recent snow storm the indicator lights for both of these systmes illuminated. I have just returned from my local Chrysler dealer, who has informed that the lights came on because these systems were not functioning. The reason for this, they believe, is that snow had collected in the wheels. As I understand it, their posistion is that the anti-lock brakes and traction control systems provided on this car will function except during a snow storm with wet, stick, slippery snow. …”
