Brake safety feature?

[Rambertramber]

Hey everyone. New member with donation inbound (must run the Ford raptor site too as I was redirected back to it after payment!).

I was driving home in the snow and drifted slightly off the road. I left off the brake and accelerator, steered back towards the road and started to spin slightly. I then felt the truck brake one tire then another which straightened me back out. Is that a feature or am I crazy?

Doing exactly what its supposed to do, Some call it ESC , electronic stability control, VDC , (Subaru) Vehicle dynamics control, designed to do just that, react faster than you can to straighten your vehicle out in a loss of control.

Wow! Thanks for the response. I haven't had a newer vehicle in quite a while and it shows! This is a great community from what I have seen so far.

No problem, and yes it sure is.
