I now have a vehicle with a…

My esc light comes on and goes off intermittently while driving, this has been happening for probably the past year. I have never noticed any effect on the performance of the vehicle and since i didn't know what esc was i did not pay it a great deal of attention to it. My passenger air bag light also does this "coming on and going off thing" so i assumed it was a weird dash light glitch. About 4 months ago vehicle…
