Driving home tonight with my cruise control on, all of the sudden the DSC and ABS warning lights illuminate and stay on. At the same time the cruise control disengages and will not function. I pull off of the freeway into a parking lot for a few minutes and turn off the car. I then start it up again and after a 3 minutes the lights shut off. Back on the freeway again I engage the cruise control and the same thing happens. Anything similar happen to anybody else? My MS3 is just over year old with less than 8K on the Odometer. I assume that a trip to the Dealership is in order, however I fear that they may not be able to replicate the problem.

 

This may sound stupid, but if you have a camcorder, try recording it when it happens. If you can show them proof of whats happening, they may not have to replicate the problem.

 

my car did this. it could be locking up the brakes hard enough that it will stay on. thats happened to me and after a little while it went away

 

Brakes were not being applied at the time the lights go on. I had the cruise control on.

 

Anyone check the ABS sensors and wiring?

 

**UPDATE**
Took my baby in for the ABS and DSC light issue along with having them do the 7,500K service. They found that a piece of twine or some sort of string got caught up and wound it self around the axle, thus disrupting the tire rotatation and covering the sensors which was causing both lights to show up. After taking off the axle and getting the string off, they discovered it damaged the wheel bearing. They said they could warranty the bearing but would have to charge for the labor of taking off the axle. Long story short, I'm out of pocket for a total of $245 for the routine maintenance plus the issue with having to take take the axle off to get the twine taken out....[:@]

 

At least they found where the issue was and got it all fixed up. Nice that they covered some with warranty too.
