Traction control warning lights [both the red & amber] flash continually when car is running. When starting out from a complete stop the front wheels will stutter like 4 wheel drive on dry pavement. Letting up on the gas stops the problem.

you have an abs problem maybe or a traction control and you need alocal pro to scan to see what is wrong whether or not is a sensor or what causing the problem.it can also be a baad axle or wheel bearing this should be tested for all of those. if you look under car and see grease on one of the boots on the axle then it's probably time for replacement but it could also be something else and you should have alocal pro check it out.
