Default Desperately need help

Hi All! I just recently purchased a 2010 Chrysler 300S. After a month of having it the ABS, ESP BAS, Traction control lights came on. Took it to the dealer scanned it, wheel speed sensor replaced it, came back on after a day. Ran it again at the dealer, they advised since it has different size tires that was the problem. Drove it around a month with the lights intermittently coming on, then the brake light (other 3 lights were on as well at the time) comes on & transmission goes out. Get a new transmission pick up the car & lights come on again. Dealership is still sticking to tire story, get new tires & new wheel speed sensors, lights are still on.

Dealership went all over everything multiple times and still can’t find out why. We just realized that it has different rims on the back that are a little wider than the rims on the front, could that be the problem? Has anyone encountered anything like this? This has been an absolute nightmare!

I seriously DOUBT that a wider rim in the rear than up front would do this. BUT most definitely know that different tire sizes of rolling diameter will affect the sensors ability to read for impending wheel lock up due to variance of speed being read thru the 4 sensors. There is only a certain percentage variable that allows for the system to operate properly when running a smaller rolling diameter front tire than the rears.

Hello Jrapstar,
