Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING MY ESC - ENHANCES STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT, ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON. WHEN I STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND THEN TRIED TO DRIVE FORWARD I WAS ABLE TO MOVE MY VEHICLE UNTIL THE BRAKES KICKED IN AND STARTED SLOWING ME DOWN. AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 5MIKES MY HUSBAND WHO WAS DRIVING BEHIND ME SIGNALED TO PULL OVER. MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON AND WHEN I ENGAGED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO COME TO A STOP THE BRAKE LIGHTS WENT OFF. AFTER I RELEASED THE BRAKES, AND GOT OUT OF THE CAR WITH IT STILL RUNNING MY BRAKE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON.
