Hi,
I'm looking to buy a Panda 4x4 (2012+ model), or a Cross if my budget can stretch to it.
I've been to view a couple this week and found something unusual (or maybe not) when test driving them.
Car drives fine, but when I press the ELD button to engage it (green light on,) and manoeuvre at low speed with the wheels turned the car shudders and doesn't roll as easily. Happens in both forward and reverse, but only with a reasonable amount of lock, not in a straight line. You may often do this if negotiating an obstacle off-road on a slippery surface, so seems strange it would feel like this.
Have had a search about but haven't come up with an answer yet, so hopefully someone here can reassure me if this is normal behaviour or not, and whether I should avoid cars that do this!
Both cars I drove did this, one at 49k, and one at 70k. Is it just a 4x4 model thing, or would the Cross act the same way?
