I've never experienced that, in spite of frequently riding ION.
I have also never experienced this. I have never seen wheel slipping or stalling on the ION. I do hear the grit spreaders running (I assume this is in response to minor detected wheel slippage same as traction control in a modern car) but this is normal and the system working as it should.
The ION does experience occasional minor hunting oscillations as all trains do, but it's pretty minor, and I've never seen an operator respond to it with heavy braking.
