On Chrysler vehicles like your Chrysler 300, the ESP BAS light refers to the "Electronic Stability Program and Brake Assist Program." If this warning light comes on, it indicates a problem with one of these components or the anti-lock braking system, with traction control often being affected as well. Similar to the "check engine" light, the ESP BAS light can signal various issues and is usually accompanied by OBD-II trouble codes. It's important to use a scan tool to check your 300 as soon as possible to determine the exact problem and not delay addressing it, as a brake fault can compromise your safety. The fault codes will give you a starting point for troubleshooting.

    Seems like this problem is pretty common with these kinds of cars. I was just sitting at a red light when it happened - couldn't get past 25 mph. My brother experienced the same thing recently with his car. I thought maybe my transmission was shot or something.
