THANKFULLY I WAS CLOSE TO A REPUTABLE GARAGE CLOSE TO MY HOME. I PARKED THE CAR THERE, ASKED FOR A GENTLE MAN TO ASSIST ME, AND ONCE THE CAR COOLED ENOUGH TO OPEN THE HOOD, HE TOOK A LOOK. HE NOTICED THAT THE HOSE LEADING FROM THE COOLANT RESERVOIR TO THE ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY SUCKED IN, AND THE COOLANT RESERVOIR WAS FILLING WITH OIL. UPON INSPECTION FROM DEALERSHIP I WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED DUE TO METAL SHAVINGS AND DEBRIS FOUND IN OIL PAN. *TR

WHILE PARKED AND WHILE DRIVING, THE ABS, ESC, AND BRAKE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMPS ILLUMINATE WITH A DOUBLE WARNING CHIME. AFTER 1 TO 2 MINUTES, THE INDICATORS TURN OFF. WHILE THE INDICATORS ARE ILLUMINATED, THE RESPECTIVE SYSTEMS ARE NOT ENABLED. THIS WAS TESTED IN WINTER WEATHER BY BRAKING ON SLIPPERY ROADS WITH NO ANTI-LOCK INTERVENTION, AND ACCELERATING AROUND A CORNER WITH NO TRACTION CONTROL OR STABILITY CONTROL INTERVENTION. THE ISSUE ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN IN OPERATION FOR MORE THAN 30 MIN, AND IS AGGRAVATED BY WET CONDITIONS, OR A CAR WASH WITH UNDERCARRIAGE SPRAY. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE SAME RESULTS. "COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM". *TR
