| Description of the problem | While driving in normal city conditions the "esc" light illuminated followed by the "abs" warning and the "hill decent control" flashing. I was nearly at my intended destination so i continued then parked at my destination. Once i finished with my business, i started the vehicle and noted the "esc" and "abs" lights on steady, as i turned right onto the city roadway the "esc" started flashing and the vehicle would not accelerate, rpm's decreased, but the engine did not stall. I eased off the accelerator and it seemed to stabilize, then as applied the accelerator again, same thing, vehicle hesitated and would not accelerate. I turned right, off the roadway, onto a side street at which time the "esc" and "abs" lights extinguished and the normal operation returned. The entire scenario occurred two more times during the next 3 miles of city stop and go driving, after which the "esc" and "abs" lights remained on steady and the vehicle no longer had acceleration issues. I was able to get the vehicle home safely with the "esc" and "abs" illuminated steadily. Plan to take to warranty repair facility, suspect faulty wheel speed sensor, but unable to know which wheel sensor has failed. |
