I think my 430's ESP is trying to kill me
So I'm driving home yesterday, only crawling in traffic so less than 10mph, when i feel the car veer left, as though i just put a wheel through something grippy.
nothing in the rear view, so i don't dwell.
then at 40mph it happens again. a real drag and pull on the left front it feels like.
it happens 1 more time, then the ESP warning light comes on.
on my way in this morning i turned the EPS off, and had no issues.
Is this a known thing with these, I've had mine (a 2000 model) a year and this is the first sign of any fault, but it's quite a biggie.

Not a common issue. Most likely its a bad sensor. Have it diagnosed by someone with the Star diagnostic system. Should tell him immediately which part to replace.
