Stuck... not for long though, but...
...at the position it sat while this pic was taken, my Pat was "stuck". I've put in 4WD LOCK, and Full ESP OFF (which I got fixed), and put in Reverse...
Results: Driver's side Front Wheel spun. I did not feel the rear wheels nor the front passenger side's activate at all. How I knew, is that this tiny "snowbank" wasn't high at all, and there was not enough snow to really get stuck in. Almost every other wheel pretty much had traction. The front driver's side spun til it dug into an ice patch/dirt... even after I've straightened out the wheel.
I had to pull the Jeep forward and back right out with a lil bit of momentum (in 4WD).
Is this normal? I know it's nothing like a Lock Differential ...but how (and when) does it think to "send torque" to the other wheels with traction?? I had no witnesses from the outside to view the action... but I was quite sure the other wheels were asleep at that moment...
That said, I still love this frickin thing...
Afterall, it's the Little Jeep (or Car) that Could...
