Consumer Description

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH MY ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC). THE "ESC OFF" INDICATOR LAMP BECOMES ILLUMINATED WHILE I AM DRIVING. I AM UNABLE TO TURN IT OFF BY PRESSING THE ESC BUTTON. WHEN THE ESC OFF INDICATOR IS ILLUMINATED, THIS ALSO CAUSES THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO NOT FUNCTION, CREATING THE RISK OF AN ACCIDENT.
