“Service ESC message came on twice my new 2019 chevy Equinox premier( each time vehicle was stationary).I dismiss message each time so I can see the digital odometer when I drive, and take vehicle to my dealership (each time they don't document the problem). They said, each time, message has to be on for them to detect the problem. Is that true?”
