Esc is intermittently turning itself off for no apparent reason when i am driving. Happens mostly when i first start driving and am at a very low speed, but also happens on the highway at higher speeds at times. Only way to turn it back on is to turn off the engine and re-start. Is happening more frequently over the last week (almost a daily occurrence).
