I TOOK MY CAR IN TO THE DEALER ON DECEMBER 13, 2014 FOR AN OIL CHANGE BECAUSE THE LIGHT WAS ON. I WAS DRIVING HOME AFTER THE OIL CHANGE WAS COMPLETED AND THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR BEGAN JERKING TO THE LEFT. I SET UP AN APPOINTMENT WITH ANOTHER DODGE DEALER TO CHECK OUT THE PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SPEED SENSOR WAS BROKEN. THE CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY SO I WAS TOLD THERE WOULD BE NO CHARGE FOR THE REPLACEMENT. AFTER FIXING THE SENSOR THE DEALER NOTIFIED ME THAT THE LIGHT STILL COMES ON. THEY SPOKE TO CHRYSLER ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND WERE TOLD THAT CHRYSLER DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IT COULD BE. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY NEEDED TO KEEP MY CAR OVER THE WEEKEND AND THAT CHRYSLER OFFERED ME A LOANER CAR WHILE THE REPAIR IS BEING DONE. *TR
THE ESC MALFUNCTION LIGHT ILLUMINATES DAILY. PERIODICALLY GOES OFF AND ON. *TR
