Description of the problem | I was driving down my driveway at about 5 mph when my esc indicator light came on. Both of my front brakes immediately locked up. I put the car in park and shut the vehicle off thinking that would reset the system. When i started it back up the indicator light was still on and the brakes were still locked up. I then turned the vehicle back off and unplugged my battery hoping that would do it. Still the same problem. After about 10 minutes of sitting there the brakes finally released and i took the car back to my house. The light was and still is on but the brakes arent locked up at this time. Im just afraid of it happening while driving down the highway or interstate at faster speeds. It would most certainly cause an accident at the very least. I have 4 kids and a wife and my wife is usually the one who drives the car. Im just thankful it didnt happen under different circumstances or it could have been catastrophic. |
