I had an odd experience today. I was taking one of those exit ramps from the highway that goes in a complete circle to get you onto the bridge for the street you are exiting too. I'm sure everyone knows what I'm talking about. I was probably going about 30 to 35 mph which is pretty much the same speed everyone else was going. At one point the car simply lost all power and I could feel this vibration that reminded me very much of traction control or ABS doing its thing. I looked at the dash to see if that is what was happening, unfortunately as irony would have it the sun was shining directly onto the dash at this point and pretty much the entire thing was washed out and I couldn't see or read anything.
As soon as the vibration stopped, I had power back again. All in all, I think it lasted maybe 1 to 1.5 seconds. I did not experience it again for the rest of the drive.
I'm sort of hoping this was just the traction control. Maybe because the circle was so sharp it saw a difference in rotation between the left and right wheels and maybe thought I had lost traction. I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this?
