BAS/ESP problem going downhill?

I've never gotten the BAS/ESP problem before, but this one time when I was taking the car out of a 3 floor parking lot with a steep hill it gave me all 3 malfunctions.

Is it something I should be worried about? or was the error caused because of the inclination?

my car does the same thing.. it comes on at random times.. and its mostly the same 3 malfunction.. bas, esp.. and some other crap.. i just ignore it.. its really nothing.... well, so far it hasn't been on for 2 months... but i know it'll return like some cockroach that you thought was dead...
if you feel uneasy, i guess you can get it checked out to ease your concerns.. let me know too!

ESP faulty vist workshop coming up down a hill and car turns off as it slwos down..

Hello everyone, I'm having a problem on my w203 about the ESP faulty, I replaced the ESP module sometime ago, then it quitted for a while then came back after some time, only then it used to appear once I'm slowing down from high speeds of about 80kmp, so i took it back to the workshop and they cleaned the module with WD4, but unfortunately right after that on my way back on a mid steep downhill, ESP faulty came up again, so now my problem is almost whenever i go down a hill ESP faulty comes right up, heeelllppp.. Anybody can relate..?
