So the other day I was driving my 2015 VW Passat TDI SEL. The tires slipped on an ice patch which activated the stability track. It then went off afterward. The problem is now that it (Error: stabilization control (ESC)) keeps coming on every time I start my car and today the car just won't even start, period. I thought it might be the battery so after wasting $250 on a new battery it has happened two more times so it's not that. It seems to be a sensor now or something with the electrical system. I'm dreading taking it to the dealer for diagnosis, which is always an arm and a leg! Any ideas on how to fix this or reset the system myself? I'm hoping it's an easy fix!
