The ESP and BAS warning lights may illuminate due to a failed brake light switch. Replacement of the failed switch should correct this concern.

    Yes i have this problem as well with my brake light switch.
    The part has been changed and yet still the warning light comes on and
    the car still don't go into park until you cut-off the car then put it in park.

    Brake lights wouldn't light up when brakes were used.also caused ABS /bas and ESP indicators to come on. I had a mechanic fix the brake switch. Now the brake lights work when brake pedal is pressed.
