This morning was a rough drive in Connecticut, it was snowing pretty bad and it seemed like there was ice under the snow, as I drove on the highway maintaining a speed around 20mph to 40 mph, it seemed like every so often as I had my foot on the gas going up a hill or on a flat the 2010 Murano I drive would cut power and the car would like buck a bit and then go back to normal. I am assuming maybe one wheel was slipping a bit and the car decided to cut power, the RPM gauge would drop and no traction lights would turn on. This has never happened before in the show but today was a different type of snow because like I said it seemed like there was ice under the snow. Does anyone have any incite into this? Anything I should be worried about? I have not tried it on dry pavement because it just happened this morning on my way into work.

Sounds like traction control doing what it does.
