It's called ice with wide non-winter tires on a heavy vehicle.
Ha its called winter. All season tires are no substitution for winter tires.
Why would you think ABS will help you stop on snow? If there's no traction there's no traction and ABS won't help. Snow tires help the most but you still have to drive carefully.
Blaming the driver and the tires is BS. When it happens to you, you'll remember this post. I've personally experienced ths OPs situation a few times in 3 different Fords, once today in fact. I almost went off the side of a mountain. Putting it in PARK saved me and my family. I was actually going for reverse but overshot. Was creeping down a steep winding mountain driveway with fresh snow and chains on the rear tires. The ABS system worked as usual last night and this afternoon. This morning however, there was no braking action, no pump, nothing just rolling down the mountain picking up speed and out of control. There will be no ABS on the way down tomorrow!!
