Default Need help finding an answer..

So recently i have noticed that when snow accumulates my car tends to find innocent patches of snow in parking lots. for whatever reason the cars traction control and vsc turn off and it accelerates rapidly. The only thing i can do to avoid hitting a wall is to turn the car and slide through it praying i make it. This has happened 6 times now.

Second
I have noticed that at a stop light my car revs very loud and tends to take off very quickly sometimes throwing my passengers into their seats among screams of terror. upon reaching 50 mph the car returns to normal operating state. Im thinking maybe an ECU error is causing this rapid acceleration. During acceleration I noted that sometimes after such events i have whats known as a "boner".

Third.
I have noticed the uncontrollable urge to say "SUCK IT" to cube,seoul, flex, and most honda drivers. Im not sure why this has happened. I'm normally a very mild mannered and well cultured individual .

Any ideas guys?

I think all your problems are side effects of having the Uni-chip along with your I/H/E mods, and those new heavy shoes.

i heard with the UNICHIP that it adds at least 12 WHP. they neglected to add that you also get a 50% boost in swagger

^ True. The flex ecoboost is awesome! 360 awd hp, seats 6-7 people and can tow 4500 lbs. Id def buy a used one in a few years (40k new is a bit steep...) as the future baby hauler lol

OK, OK -- the Flex is actually a pretty reasonable car (station wagon), but it def isn't the same (despite the stolen styling cues).

Reason # 1 why you shouldn't mod your vehicle (unless OEM upgrades) until your warranty has expired, or you have the coin to fix it your self. And people who mod their vehicles and put them back to stock are the reason why dealers give people a hard time with warranty.

Sounds like your xB has the same problem mine does... a loose nut between the steering wheel and driver seat...
