2007: “Esp inoperative message appears. Wipers went on (although they were off at the time) turn signals were inoperative and interior lights not working.. I pulled to the side of the road and was unable to engage park or reverse. I shut the ignition off and neutral was automatically engaged but park still not working. Removing the key engaged park. Restarting the car the esp inoperative message was still displayed and drive could not be engaged. After leaving the key removed for 2-3 minutes all was clear. …”
