Hello everyone.

I have a really big issue. I had two brand new tires put on my 2000 jaguar s type today. On my way home, the anti traction light began to blink around 45 to 50 mph. And then the car stops accelerating and actually slows down on the freeway!!!!! So i was able to pull over and the light went off. As soon as i begin driving and reached the 45mph mark, the light flashes again and the car slows down again! This was the scariest drive in my life. I called and company that i had the tires put on at and i have to take the car back to them in the morning. It has never happened before. Can anyone tell me why it is happening now?

 

The traction control is kicking in when the light flashes and cutting power to the engine. It's supposed to do that, just not at 45-50mph when cruising along without loss of traction.

Does it do it every single time you cruise up to that speed?

 

I'm wondering if the ABS speed sensors were disconnected when they installed the new tires. You might want to check if they are still connected. Probably a good idea to bring the car back to the place where you had the tires installed for them to check.

 

Are the new tires a different size from the other two?

 

Hello again. So here is the updated on the issue I was experiencing. I went back to the company that I purchased the tires from and the problem was that the rear tires were not the same size as the new ones that they put on. The same tires have now been put on the rear and the car drives fine now.
