Consumer Description

THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) TURNS OFF RANDOMLY BY ITS SELF WHILE THE CAR ENGINE IS ON. PRESSING THE ESC BUTTON TO TURN ESC BACK ON DOES NOT WORK. TURNING OFF THE ENGINE AND THEN TURNING IT BACK ON SOMETIMES TAKES CARE OF THE PROBLEM. WHEN THE ESC IS OFF, THE BREAKING SYSTEM IS SEVERELY AFFECTED WHERE EVEN WITH A RELATIVELY LIGHT PRESS ON THE BRAKES CAN RESULT IN THE LOCKING OF THE TIRES. *TR
