    Today on my drive home I noticed something odd for a moment. Beautiful day - 77 degrees - perfectly dry road. In transitioning from stealth mode, when the ICE kicked in, it felt just a tad bit rough, accompanied by a bit of side-to-side jimmy, and the traction control light came on for a split second.

    Anyone else ever experience anything like this? Any explanation?

    I don't think so. Are you certain you didn't hit a bump in the road just at that instant?
