Rezbomb Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Hey all, The ESP/BAS Caution light comes on after driving a few kilometers. No speed in particular or anything. The caution light goes out on the next startup, but soon comes back. Just over 4000kms driven on it. Have not been to the dealer yet, will call tomorrow. Anyone experience this problem?

Rezbomb Posted July 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Well, looks like the problem is the "Dynamic Sensor", which from what I'm told lives under/behind the glove box. It has to do with the control of the anti-lock brakes. One problem, no parts available anywhere locally. Looks like it could be a few days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rezbomb Posted July 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Told us it was ok to drive so we took it. Well today my wife was coming home from work and the brakes took on a mind of their own and began pulsing and grabbing, uncomanded and uncontrolled. The worst part was it happened at around 40kmh, so stop now! Luckily no one was following closely and she was able to get it off the road. She said it sounded like they were ripping themselves apart. I freaked on the phone, obviously it is not ok to drive with this failure. They towed it and got us a rental, some crappy little PT Cruiser that smells like an ashtray. So we'll see tomorrow, they expect to have parts. If you ever have an "ESP/BAS" caution light and your told it's ok to drive, I'd make other arrangements. Only 5000kms, becoming very dissapointed!

Rezbomb Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Here's where we're at...Recieved the Journey back and did not get 500ft out of the dealership when the brakes came on bringing us to a sudden stop. It always happens at exactly 40km/h. It has now been in the shop for 7 days. Dynamic sensor replaced, no fix. Wiring repaired/replaced, no fix. ABS control module ordered, but on backorder...No ETA. Dealership has been in multiple conference calls with engineering and no one seems to have an idea why the car is acting this way. So they are now randomly replacing computers and differnt sensors and modules. I don't know what to say....really dissapointed!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rezbomb Posted July 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Alright, 9 days in the shop and we finally have our Journey back!!! ABS module replaced, no fix. The dealership found a chauffing wire somewhere in the harness behind the steering column. The wire was shorting to ground and would fry the ESP computer. So a couple computers later, all fixed!!! We sure are glad to get it back, the PT Cruiser was getting old. I hope all the gremlins are gone. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
