While driving in the snow, we lost control briefly and ABS/Traction control kicked in. while this was going on the cars electronics turned off and stayed off until we had control again.

Is this okay?

Hi,

That doesn't sound right. When you say the car's electronics turned off, exactly what shut down? Do you mean things like the lights, heater, dash lights, and things like that? If so, that shouldn't have happened.

Let me know.
