Sportage

  • 33,000 miles
Whenever the roads are damp or wet and I am at a stop when I start to go and give it a little gas to move its ESC sensor goes on and I need to get control of it. I feel it is dangerous for me to pull out on a highway because of the hesitation. It happens at a stop sign also or a driveway that has gravel and I do not have a heavy foot. This has been happening for almost 1 year ago went to dealer on 3/5/18 and was told I needed an alignment had it done still have the problem please help me to find out what this is thank you
