Owner Complaints (1)
Your car's electronic stability control (ESC) system is unexpectedly activating while driving at highway speeds, causing your vehicle to suddenly slow from 65 mph down to 30 mph. This is happening 2-3 times daily and requires you to turn off and restart the engine each time it occurs, creating a dangerous situation where other drivers may not have time to brake. The dealer has confirmed there is no recall for this issue. Fixing this will likely require diagnostic scanning to identify the faulty sensor or control module causing the false activation.
