    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! There’s always something. : / On the way in to work this morning, the ESP light and ABS light both came on at the same time and continued to remain lit. Even when the vehicle was completley stopped.

Confused by this i found a nice stretch of empty road covered with snow and proceeded to slam on the brakes. All the wheels locked up and ABS did not do anything. I then slammed the accelerator to the floor, and the rear tires spun up a storm, no intervention from the traction control system. Interesting, I then proceeded to stop the car, shut it off, and restart it. The problem seemed to be fixed as i now had ABS and ESP.

I continue on my way to work, and get to the parking lot. The lights both come on AGAIN. and my car swerves as I am turning into the lot as the ESP had just shut off. I’ll deal with it after work.

After work, I start the car to get it all warm and toasty (HAHA Yeah right). Scrape all the ice off the car, and get back in it. I shift into first and disengage the handbrake. Instantly the ESP light and ABS light kick in. Keeping in mind that the car HAS YET TO MOVE AT ALL. So I shut off the car and restart it, the issue corrects itself. Well I got all of 20 metres and the lights kick in again. I’m not wasting time on this right now.

So I drive home extra cautious. Checked the manual and it says not to drive the car at all because the ABS system could kick in at anytime while the vehicle is in motion stopping the vehicle and any vehicle following too close behind in a violent orgy of metallicy plasticy death. O.O

I call up the clowns at Victoria Star and they say that the earliest I can take the car in is on Monday…RAAAAH! I ask if I can drive it since the manual says absolutely not to, and the tech there says that “the warning is just in the manual to cover our ass…you can drive it no problem”. Sure thing, I’ll get right on that…ass. So now my car is parked, and I wish death upon it and everyone that looks like it.
