    sounds like a wheel alignment/wheel balance problem. Nothing to be too concerned about.

    Sounds like the dealer needs to do a wheel alignment for you. Obviously it should be correct from day one but could have been overlooked You haven't had any car park knocks yet (ie kerbs)? Check the tyre pressures are correct too (when they're cold)... Frustrating I bet but don't stress too much!

    Edit: Woah, quick on the replies here guys! Hahah. ESP... random thoughts, could the system have a minimum run-in km before it can be deactivated etc as a safety precaution? Gotta be stationary for it to be deactivated?

    Did the dealer explain how to use the system when you got the car? They're supposed to give you a complete run through if it's a brand new purchase.... Call them on Monday.

    Sorry to hear it. But these things happen - my old man never missed an opportunity to tell us why he holds a grudge against Ford as the new Escort he bought had an oil leak straight out of the yard.....

    At least you've got the warranty to cover you, Jessica.
