In owners' own words
While driving 40 miles an hour on a city highway a warning beep occurred and the elc & esp lights came on. The speed dropped to 10 miles per hour, I drove the back ways home at no more than 10 miles per hour. Suddenly it kicked back in and drove normally. Upon turning it off and back on the lights are off and seems to be running properly. Having it towed to Dodge dealership in the morning to have it checked out.
