Default 2010 audi A4

hello People,

I've bought 2010 Audi A4 around 7-8 months back, and today in northeast we had a snow. just couple of hours of snow and I took my car out for a spin, thinking i've best AWD in the town, to my surprise on a on a snowy/sleepery road my car actually started skidding, i might be driving at 30MPH tops. At a stop sign i tried to slow down and i feel like i lost control of my car, when i push the break it did few vibrations and stopped after 3-4 seconds. For a min, i felt im going to hit the car coming across.

Any tips? is that how Audi A4 2010 AWD behaves? or did i get a lemon?
If there is issue with any part i may have to replace?

Thank you fellas.

Everything in the drivetrain, suspension, and brakes on a car, including the AWD system, is only as good as the tires. The tires are the connection between these systems and the road. Maybe you should check how good your tires are for the conditions you're driving in now, and investigate possible replacements if they're behaving poorly for you.
