I assumed it was just the extra speed being carried into the downhill corner but, I could imagine that sissy little yaw sensor might just be going ballistic with the front end already tilted down going into the turn.

anything is going to have all kinds of lights on and maybe even reduced power.
the corvette guys have to disconnect the the steering wheel angle sensor to get everything to default off. without that even on a sports car at the limits it jumps in and does some stuff for you that's annoying.
that worked up to the c7 I don't know about the C8. sometimes the new stuff freaks out even more. but can't hurt to try it. that way abs and the switch controls traction control for the tires spinning some but it doesn't over react to steering angle.

So is there no way to turn off the traction control in our 2021+ SUVs?

Quoting Car and Driver, Conor Hoffman, Mar 29 2021:
"While our skidpad test is not something drivers will replicate on the road, it tells a lot about the performance capabilities of these three-row SUVs.
When asked why the system is so aggressive, Chevy said only that the goal was to "ensure safe vehicle operation for a wide range of driving conditions and driver inputs."
We suspect that the system is limiting the truck's lateral capabilities as a workaround for an engine-oiling weakness, because trailing closely behind every Escalade, Tahoe, Suburban, and Yukon on the skidpad is a James Bond–grade cloud of oil smoke."
Is this maybe somehow circuitously related to protecting the DFM system?
In any case, this is just another reason to avoid driving / owning a GMT with a GenV V8.
I don't care for a V8 with multiple personalities.
I also don't care for a stability control system that intervenes far too soon that I also don't have the option of overriding.
Or is this actually a Toyota in disguise?
