| Description of the problem | Driving the vehicle down the road in good weather conditions when the brakes initiated for no reason and no gas seemed to be going to the throttle. The esc light came on. I attempted to turn the traction control light off but there was still no change. The vehicle slowed down to about 5 miles an hour and stalled out a couple of times because lack of gas going to the vehicle. Fortunately i was in a congested area and was only traveling about 20 mph when this happened. Could have been extremely dangerous had i been on a highway. |
