Sorry to hear that. I "get on it" pretty much most of the time I drive, and I've never experienced torque steer bad enough to throw me into traffic, and I never have trac on. YMMV, though....

How come "The People" in the First Amendment means The People; "the People" in the Fourth Amendment means The People; but "the People" in the Second Amendment (ratified in 1791) means the National Guard (created by an Act of Congress in 1903)?

I can't say I support the trac. control on my 06 gt manual. For me, it comes on almost every time I drive without passengers and it caused the car to move uncontrollably in wet conditions yesterday.

I can't say I understood entirely what happened, but I was on it hard in a thunderstorm and while I was accelerating with the steering wheel turned to the left, the fwd car was actually moving right because of action from the front tires. This was immediately from a dead stop. I just can't contribute that kind of action to anything but a traction control issue. Of course, it was easy to fix by using less gas.
