I knows I miss the LSD in my 240. I may buy one in a year or so when I have some real power to lay down.

def is not!

My 240 was the most fun thing I've EVER driven as far as handling wise. That thing cornered like a CHAMP. Getting slideways was still hard though because it was so low on power. Hell the G's 1-wheel-wonder gets there easier, but it's far harder to hold it there.

well i think your obvious problem is your tires. But if all those lights went ON and stayed lit that just means the system went into fail safe mode and should reset to normal at the next engine restart.

Then after your alignment the lights will turn off.

Everything's back to normal. Was actually really weird. It didn't go off until I knocked a TON of snow out of the wheel wells. I had to use my ice scraper lol. The wheel wells were so packed it was coming in contact with the tires, so I'm wondering if maybe that had something to do with it?

What's up with this "fail safe mode"? Our 03 G has had 2 occurances of all 3 of the lights coming on at teh same time for no reason. There was no rain, snow, ice, anything on the ground, but it was about 25F each time...

iirc VDC is completely disabled in this mode. It is to protect the VDC system and the car if there is a problem. The system will go into this mode when theres a bad sensor (which may be your case), or when VDC is running for a prolonged period of time such as trying to get out of deep snow with VDC turned on and sometimes even off. Usually it resets itself after the next restart but if all the lights are still on then it should be serviced by the dealer.

Both times, a quick off-on has reset the lights... What's weird to me is that the only 2 times it has happened, were on the 2 coldest days of the year so far.

next time, trying pressing the "snow" button (if equipped). it should be in front of your right knee when sitting in the driver's seat.

Oh....he's serious......only the X comes with a "snow" button dudeskee! If I had a snow button, I would've had all wheel drive, and I probably wouldn't have gotten stuck lol. and welcome to Driver though!!!
