So today I was taking a coworker on a ride in the ST. I went to turn the ESC completely off. The first visual part of changing the setting on my display completed, but the second part saying that is was turning it off went about halfway thru and then disappeared. I looked and the ESC was still turned on. I tried this several times. After the first go, it seems the button stops working. But if I shut the engine off for 10 seconds and restart it you can try again but it still gets halfway thru then goes away. Anyone else having/had this problem yet?

The only thing out of the ordinary with my car is that I changed the wheels and tires over with a winter set with no TPMS installed so I have a constant Tire Pressure message light on. Could this be causing an issue?

I would say it s certainly possible that your TPMS is causing the issue.

I can try mine, I have the same TPMS ID10T light.

EDIT: Mine works, urs is broke.

Gee thanks, that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Unless I didn't follow the instructions correctly, I was able to get my car to complete the process. Now the TPMS sensor puts the ! symbol on, the same as disabling the TCS stuff, are you sure it's not working properly? Or does the TCS Off light not even come on?

Sorry 9:03 is late for me, and I was feeling crabby.

Holding the ESC button for 5 seconds will turn the system off and cause 2 lights in the dash. 1 in the speedometer and 1 between the fuel and temp gauge. TPMS will cause just the TPMS light to go off and occasionally between fuel and temp.

Also if you have MyKey set up you can not turn ESC off unless you have the Master Key or no programmed MyKeys in the car.

To disable MyKey have an Unprogrammed key with you. Start the car hit the Left arrow go down to settings, navigate to MyKey you should find a option to disable the system.

Maybe the car knows your driving style and has a sense of self preservation?

To add to the good info already posted, if the system does have an issue you might try disconnecting the negative cable for the battery for a couple minutes and see if that corrects the issue. With some of the onboard computers it could be a simple software glitch and a quick reset might save you some time from taking it to the dealer.
