Most stability control programs include traction control.Stability control won't allow excessive wheelspin while the vehicle is in a straight line.

Wrong. If going in a right hander and the rear end start swinging to the left, the ESP will apply (among other things) the right rear brakes to pull you back on track.All stability control can really do is cut power and jam on one of the front brakes, and if the car is starting to rotate into a slide under power, suddenly transferring a bunch of weight to the front end might not be helping you much!
Perhaps the owner will claim tire pressure deviation of 1 psi.I'll blame the electrical power steering. Not enough feedback to tell the driver the backend is coming around in a hurry.
Also some people have blamed the Mustang's stability control on actually causing some the crashes. All stability control can really do is cut power and jam on one of the front brakes, and if the car is starting to rotate into a slide under power, suddenly transferring a bunch of weight to the front end might not be helping you much! On the subaru I find it doesn't really help much on snow and while drifting, its main strategy is to brake the outside front tire which can make it trickier to straighten up if the slip angle gets big before it wakes up.
Oh contre ! There's this gem, not far from me,which received a good laugh in the BMW forums.I like how in these car meet crash clips it's always a rwd musclecar with the rear ending breaking loose causing havoc. Need to get those dummies into a riced out Civic, or any other fwd car.
Ran out of talent.
Get a tune my Caprice was like thatI have 2013 2WD Tahoe police pursuit vehicle, and it is programmed to not allow the stability control to be turned off at all. I can turn off the traction, but not the stability. It's probably so it can't be disabled accidently at high speeds. I wish I could turn it off in the winter. Instead of being able to slide through the corners in the snow running on winter tires, it just pushes the front. Not much fun that way.
You're assuming there was any there in the first place?
