I had my XC in the snow last week and was testing out the AWD/TRACS in an open field to experience loss of control...which was almost impossible to do unless braking by the way, and I have a question. Is the grinding feel and resistence force when you brake normal when the TRACS kicks in? My brakes are in good condition, but I have never felt them like that before. It kind of caught me off guard and made me want to take my foot off the brake and not press so hard. It might be normal, and I suspect so, but I'd like to hear from someone who knows for sure. Thanks.
