Dec 2016 I drove around Detroit for a work project, and then thru Sarnia into Canada and all over that farmland area north side of Lake Erie ... from Sarnia to Chatham-Kent, Leamington, Lakeshore ... wind mill country, flat and windy ... and cold. Well I'm from FL, and had no experience driving in snow/ice. One evening on a long, straight, flat road where I could see for miles ahead since no trees, as I approached the stop sign at a tee, I pressed the brakes in my Titan .. and
nothing. What the?? Are they frozen? Are the completely gone?? I got absolutely nothing, and my ABS didn't chatter either. Pumped the brakes and still no response at all. I was able to steer every so slightly to get the right side tires off the road and into the snow beside the pavement ... and ended up stopping with my front bumper exactly over top of the white line of the crossing road ... right as a car whizzed by. YIKES. Panic. Heart racing. PHEW. OK ... WHAT THE?? I opened my door, put a foot down, and my foot immediately shot out from under me and I banged my elbow on the truck and my other knee on the ice covered pavement. OUCH. OK, so then I knew I was sliding on ice so smooth it didn't even trigger my ABS.
I drove a loooooooooot slower after that
Now I have experience driving on ice. I do not recommend it
