I have had my electronic stability control light come on a few times in the 6 years I have had the vehicle, but it has always went right back off. It and the ABS came on a few weeks ago and will not go off, because it thinks my vehicle is sliding or spinning, the right front brakes will grab and it cuts the power to the engine. …”
