i dont know exactly but i was driving on the road and there was a piece where they didnt clear the snow and the car started to smoke and stutter and when i stopped the car my rims on the inside where full with snow and around the tires and my front bumper also.

the dealer said that it probably happend because i have such an low car.

and i just bought srt front and rear brakes so that nmr 1 on the list :)

Snow causing hydrolock sounds pretty crazy man. I've driven through crazy amounts of snow here and not had any problems. The dealer checked it out?
