Odd ESP and/or ABS problem... Only on SHARP left turns (wheel so far over that this could only
happen when going slow) the ABS pump is engaging. I don't get an error, but I don't know if the ESP is flashing or not (no time to check). It is NOT right, though, as the wheels are not spinning or sliding, so there should be NO activation of the pump. Almost seems like the steering wheel position sensor is bad at the end of range when turning left.
Anyone have anything similar?

one thing that it could possibly be>>>
check the wiring for the abs sensor...make sure that the wheel isn't cutting into that wire when the wheel is turned all the way to the left. i had a similar problem right after i installed my coilovers (felt like the abs was kicking in, and the esp light was flashing), and it turned out that the wheel had started to cut through the wire for the sensor.
check it asap, as you obviously don't want that wire to get cut...once the wire gets cut enough to break the connection, you'll get a code...
that's my guess...
