Default 2014 GS F sport AWD Traction Light Blinks

Moderators i apologize if i place this in the wrong thread.
I bough brand new GS F sport AWD less then two weeks ago and i'm experiencing something weird. The traction light blinks only when i parked on my driveway and i switched the shift gear from drive to park. The driveway has a little incline but not big enough to make the car rolled back and then i have notice one more time the same thing is when i parked on a little more incline parking lot. It only beeps for two sec when i switch from drive to park and if i try to shift back and forth again it would not beep and blink. Does anyone else experience the same thing? Is it normal or not.
Thanks!

That sounds like a problem with the sensor. How about when you slide around the corner, is it kicking in then? If you're not surf go test it (in a safe place assuming you're comfortable getting the car close to it's breaking point), and see what the behavior of the light is. You'll have to be quick because the light isn't on for long when the traction control is activated.

I sounds like you're pressing the brake hard and activating the hill hold function inadvertently.

Does the GS has this system and the weird thing it is when i put it in park, so it might be that i'll see if i press the brake harder and it happens. But when i called the dealer they told me to bring the car in to take a look at, so either they think there is a problem or they do not knwo about that system.
