Hazard light flashes and prevents acceleration during high speed driving

lyoooha · Apr 3, 2012

Ive noticed couple of times when I drive the highway at speeds above 80MPH sometimes the orange triangle hazard light would blink couple of times during which moment it seems like the car stops accelerating as well.

Now i know it does that on turns sometimes if Im driving a little to fast for safety, but it also flashes when im not in a turn too.

Rarely, thats why I am still unable to figure out what is it trying to tell me.

Any one had this happen with theirs?

Best regards,

Alex

Most probably a wheel speed sensor is on it's way out, if driving in a straight line and the light flashes. When cornering at too high a speed and sway then the ESP will make the light flash and reduce engine power to warn you, this part is normal. But driving in a straight line and it flashes is not normal, you will need to check the ESP system with diagnostic equipment.

snow, icy or slippery conditions can cause it, even on a straight when too much power is applied to the road conditions.
