ESP Flashing on around RH corners
So this has been occurring more and more and I'm starting to get worried.
If I'm going around a RH curve at about 90-100km/h The ESP light starts flashing on and off and I loose power just as I would if I were starting to loose traction. However, there is no loss of traction, these are not sharp corners, I am not excessively speeding around them, and the road is completely dry.
Now, I have had a vibration in my car (at 100+km/h) for some time, and have mentioned it to mechanics who have found nothing, so I've chalked it up to bad tires. As the vibration has no correlation to which way I turn it is hard to connect to the ESP thing as it clearly only happens when I'm turning Right.
So I've been trying to figure it out but I've come up with nothing solid. A wheel bearing maybe? CV joint maybe?
Has anyone had a similar experience?

Re: ESP Flashing on around RH corners
if your ESP light stays on all the time, check to see if your brake lights stay on as well. if they do, theres a sensor that pretty easy to replace behind the brake pedal.
it gets salt and crap in there and sometimes stops working. had to replace mine. went 4 months with no cruise control cause i couldnt figure it out till a buddy asked me why my brake lights stay on...
