| Description of the problem | The esc light comes on intermittently while driving. The car jerks as this happens. Once in this condition, the car runs extremely rough and will even stall when starting from a full stop (stalls in the middle of an intersection). During one occurrence, the car wouldn't go faster than 25 mph when going up a slight incline. I can't turn off esc; pressing the switch is ignored. If i turn off/on the car, the problem seems to go away for a while. |
