| Description of the problem | The "esc" indicator light (not the "esc off" light) frequently comes on and stays on. If you stop the vehicle and put it in park while this is occurring, the gear shifter will not work. You can not put the car in gear. Once you turn off the car and restart it, the light goes off. However, after 10-15 miles the light comes back on and stays on again. Dealer ran computer check and found no codes but the problem continues. I've had the car 2 days. |
