Traction control came on at the wrong time
Yesterday traction control came on twice when I was making left turns. Engine slowed down even when my foot was on the gas. Traction control turned off after I straightened out. It was sunny and dry out. About 45 degrees Fahrenheit.
This is a 2013 GLK350.
Had my car Parked at the airport for a few days. It snowed while it was parked and then it melted before we drove. Not sure if the melting could have cause something.
I'm wondering if I should be worried, get it check out? It didn't happen later in the day.

mogul,
I have a 2014 350 base model. I have experienced this but only when there is wheel spin / slide while turning. There has always been some moisture, damp painted road marking / crosswalk, etc at the time of the TC, briefly, kicking in. You mentioned it had snowed then melted. Was the road surface still wet?

MBWorld Fanatic!
COUld be a symptom of a wheel speed sensor on the way out.
Dont worry about it until it shows up again
