| Description of the problem | After driving 1/2 mile or so the esc light would come on. After shutting off the engine it would always reset and go off but it would come back on after a mile or so of driving. Sometimes it stays off for a prol;onged period of a month or so then the condition starts up all over again. This had been going on for 6 years. Brakes have been checked/replaced as required. Something wrong with the sensor? This should have been recalled years ago as many people have complained about the same issue. |
