Something very weird with my car
Today we had a snow storm and it took me about 4 hours to get home. The traction control was engaging from time to time. Right before I got home, I had to exist in some deep snow and suddenly I got prompted, that nothing was operating. The LCD displayed: ESP, run flat, ABS, BAR... something and many other thing ..., were not functioning. I did panic a bit. I parked on the side, turned the car off, restarted and the system was back to normal. Did anyone have anything like this happen to their car?

Drop down to the dealer and ask Bruce to have Vic check out any stored error codes. I'm sure the conditions were recorded by the car.
BTW, are you purchasing the extended warantee now that you will soon expire the 4 year.

I was out in the same storm yesterday and the car with Blizzak tires performed surprisingly well. Everyone was having huge issues and I didn't... tires make all the difference.
I suspect the "unusual" conditions confused the computer in the car. I would take it in though and have them check it just in case. I had my PDC go nuts after a storm once but it was fine the next morning and hasn't been an issue since.
