Yup, today in fact.  It’s rainy, about 35F.  I needed to be in front of the plodding SUV to my right and I rolled into throttle quickly, I was in 4a but eventually I busted traction at all 4 wheels and the truck cut power down to like 10%.  Kind of a shame because the truck was moving out sharply and just digging for traction and felt like she was getting a bite but the computer said “NO” ! 


It’s the nannies in normal mode, the only mode with more aggressive nannies is weather.  If you go to Raptor Assault, they illustrate this to you on the dirt/gravel course.  If you’re in 2H, it’s pretty easy to overdraw the traction budget.


Also, if the collision alert goes on, your throttle gets cut.  This is difficult to force, but if you’re, say, changing lanes, while accelerating and the car in front slows, or stops the truck throws the collision alarm and your throttle gets cut.  its supposed to prime the brakes too, and I believe it, but I’ve never had the collision go off when I needed to panic stop and wasn’t already hard on the brakes. 


could also be the low oil condition.
