I have exact same problem, same car. I have noticed that the traction control does not work, so in my case at least the light is providing a real indication of a problem. When first starting out, I can hear a light, repetitive grinding noise coming from under the hood which I believe to be the TRAC system trying to start up - after about 10 cycles, the noise stops then the TRAC light comes on. The car runs fine and on dry pavement, I notice no issues. However, I get very poor traction accelleration out of turns on wet pavement.
Suggested fixes, short of going to the dealer?
Thanks
