| Description of the problem | The esc button will not turn off esc. Normally this isn't an issue, but when i am stuck in snow it would help to turn esc off. The owners manual even suggests this. My button will not disable esc some times. The button works intermittently. The dealer has inspected it multiple times. The "esc off" light should illuminate when it is really off, but this doesn't happen. |
