Driving my ESP light was flashing and vehicle was jerking to the right ??
I jut turned my car on and started driving. No rain, perfect weather 84 degrees. Well two blocks down the street as I began to accelerate the exclamation triangle sign began to flash and it felt almost as if the break was engaging on one tire or something cause the car slowed down and jerked to the right. It was only happening as I accelerated maybe past 30 miles per hour. I pulled over put in in park and drive back and forth a few times and began to drive again and it didn't happen again. Anybody know what the hell was this **** about ?

I kinda heard a sound as If something was stuck in the rear wells but I'm pretty sure that's not the case. I drove the car a few hours just fine. There is nothing to get stuck on my car around. I've seen this happen in the snow when I'm messing around trying to slide thru
The corners or what not

Going by your notes, you may have had a stone stuck beteen the hub and a speed sensor. When the stone dislodged the sensor could again pick up the required signal from the hub, hence issue self resolved. This is what I think anyhow.

I would consider it unlikely that a stone would block the sensor reading unless it pushed the sensor further away from its correct position. Anyway sounds to me like an intermittent issue to read the wheel speed sensor signal correctly. Could be too lose bearing or something completely different. I would let an expert look at the car.
