| Description of the problem | The esc deactivates itself and the light comes on while you are driving and will not activate itself until the auto is turned off and restarted. Because the esc turns itself off it probably could cause the auto to skid out of control. Reading about this on the internet it seems that many people experience this dangerous malfunction which should be repaired by the manufacturer. |
