ESP, turn signals and cruise control malfunction occasionally but I can't figure out why. Anyone have an idea?

 

How does it malfunction? If the lights dont light up sometime then we're having the same problem

 

the esp alert triangle goes on, the turn signals do not work and the cruise control becomes innoperable. Not always at the same time, very sporatic.

 

Well for my case the esp doesn't even goes on. Brought it in to the dealer and couldn't find anything wrong with it..

 

The turn signal one makes no sense to me.

For the other two - a wheel speed sensor is going bad, dis-engaging the cruise or making the ESP think a wheel is slipping. That would be my guess.

 

I think it has something to do with the wiring. They ran the diagnostics but couldn't find anything wrong with the sensors.

 

Well, that's the nature of an intermittent problem - when they go to test for it, it might not be there. A standing problem is always easier to diagnose.

 

Drove the car all day today with several restarts and it never malfunctioned....

 

I guess the only solution at the moment is to keep restarting the car..

 

Had an A service today and they checked out the intermittant problem and they told me it is the Steering wheel electrical module. $350.00 for the part plus labor. I decided to wait as it is now working fine. He told me if it happens again to restart and drive slow and turn from side to side to let it find it's middle again.

 

But isn't the car still under warranty ??? Good luck !!

 

+2 ....what is this guy talking about, "waiting"??

 

I have 66,000 miles and warranty is up!

 

Ahhhh hellooooo that makes a lot more sense but wow 66,000 miles is a lot of driving !! But hey you're paying for the car sooo why not use it right .... there are times when i'm simply looking for a reason to drive my car after 2 plus years i still enjoy the ride so so much yay !!
