“When I started the vehicle when it was cold or when it had less than a half a tank in gas the check engine light and ESC light would come on. I wouldn't be able to drive the vehicle. It was as if the vehicle was in neutral. I would push the gas pedal and nothing, it would not rev. This has now happened on several occasions. I would have to continue to turn off and on the vehicle until the ESC light would turn off and the car would rev on it own.”
