I hope this is not a sign of how things are going to go with this thing. I was driving home from the airport and the car twitched or bucked slightly driving down a straight country road. The lights came on showing that the traction was in issue and then it said that the AWC and ABS need service! Has anyone else had issues this early?

I am probably being punsihed for not buying American. What a freaking delight.

Cold weather putting stress on the pump? Did you overboost?

Can you check for a code?

Some simple things that trigger the code:

1) Rear brake pads are worn down
2) Really bad alignment
3) Faulty wheel speed sensor (common from factory)
4) Bad steering angle sensor (usually from a hacked stereo install)
5) Really cold weather effects the AYC/ACD hydraulic unit (pump)

I will run it down to the Dealer tomorrow. The car has 500 miles on the odometer and I have not drvien it hard. All i can figure is the wheel sensor given that I am seeing a brake and drive line warning.

I second the motion of wheel speed sensor. I had a similar issue after some repairs and it was due to a loose bolt on one of the wheel speed sensors. I'd say save yourself a headache and a bunch of BS from the dealer (They won't do anything if they can't replicate the issue) and check to make sure all 4 wheel speed sensors are in their place. Mine had some freedom of movement just due to the loose bolt and that was causing the issue over bumps. I tightened it up and haven't had any issues since.

LF wheel speed sensor failed at 500 miles. Car has been sitting at dealer since Tuesday am; seems they cant get a part until Friday. They did put me in a rental, but that belies the fact that one would think a sensor would be available via overnight freight. Damn.
