First problem with my ecoboost
Well it was drizzling this morning and everytime i hit the throttle from 30 to 50mph the tires would just start spinning and the traction control light would flash.. Hope its nothing to serious!

Glad it was wet so you could experience tire spin and find out that TC worked.

Your problem is that you have too much torque in slippery conditions with an electronic Nanny taking control. LOL
