Consumer Description

WHILE PARKED AND WHILE DRIVING, THE ABS, ESC, AND BRAKE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMPS ILLUMINATE WITH A DOUBLE WARNING CHIME. AFTER 1 TO 2 MINUTES, THE INDICATORS TURN OFF. WHILE THE INDICATORS ARE ILLUMINATED, THE RESPECTIVE SYSTEMS ARE NOT ENABLED. THIS WAS TESTED IN WINTER WEATHER BY BRAKING ON SLIPPERY ROADS WITH NO ANTI-LOCK INTERVENTION, AND ACCELERATING AROUND A CORNER WITH NO TRACTION CONTROL OR STABILITY CONTROL INTERVENTION. THE ISSUE ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN IN OPERATION FOR MORE THAN 30 MIN, AND IS AGGRAVATED BY WET CONDITIONS, OR A CAR WASH WITH UNDERCARRIAGE SPRAY. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE SAME RESULTS. "COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM". *TR
