“Electronic stability control/ ABS light/ brake light.. While driving the ESC and ABS popped on together, after cranking back up the vehicles brake light appeared, something is stopping the vehicle from driving normal. Upon stopping at red lights the car jerks, also it skids when making left and right hand turns. The car revs when accelerating but the rpms are reduced as if in limp mode. The car is very dangerous to drive especially two lane highways it gravitated towards the ditch this time I just could turn the wheel, because sometimes the wheel is very hard to turn.”
