Default ESC constantly on when accelerate on my dodge journey 2011 any ideas?? Please help

My 2011 dodge journey started giving me problems with ESC system today. When I was on my way home the ESC light came on and I started feeling the steering wheel a little heavy. No idea what can cause the issue. The road condition was good.

Could be a wheel speed sensor. Might pull the front wheels off and have a look for anything obvious.

I suggest the previous post is a good place to start.

alexp31911,

I'm sorry to hear about your ESC concern.

Has the issue continued? Or was it an isolated incident?

Yes, a bad speed sensor will make the ESC engage.
