There's been quite an extensive discussion here about this in the past. Some could swear that without ESC they got better gas mileage, others made all kinds of other claims, none could be really proven. ESC is a SAFETY feature. Why disconnect it, unless for the certain specific unusual situation mentioned above.

The moral of the story here is don't make u-turns on "heavily traveled" two lane roads in the middle of a wet night using WET GRAVEL as a launching pad while cars barrel towards you at speeds upwards of 45 miles per hour.

IMO, stupidity is far more dangerous than the ESC system. You might think the car did too much thinking, but methinks you didn't do ENOUGH thinking. Just my honest two cents.

Hey, dcjwlee, welcome back, and I MUST say it's quite a SURPRISE, and a good one, reading your words of caution, promoting safe driving! You must be getting OLD, man! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
