So today we got a good dose of freezing rain and accumulated snow and it was heavier hitting on the driver side of my car. After work, I proceeded to drive home and seconds later my ABS light and Traction Control light came on and the car felt weird. Turns out my left rear wheel was frozen and would not rotate. I thought perhaps my ebrake had frozen. After a long while, I got lucky and the wheel freed up after rocking the car back and forth, and finding something gritty to put under the tire to help it grab traction. I was able to drive home, but the warning lights on my dash are still active and the ABS brake system remained active, feeling the pulse of the brake pedal when using the brakes even though I was never in a skid situation. It's like the ABS is on continuous now.
I'm hoping my car will thaw out overnight and this is just a case of some ice buildup that will melt away and things will go back to normal.
Any thoughts from you folks or a similar experience?
