Update: switching from amcl to gmapping has no effect of current goal. The global path is direct to the goal but the current path to the goal is over over the place. Also turning off DWA had no effect.

Update: Here is a video of the odd behavor , note that the global path is fine but the local path can not be determined.

Update: Here are my setting I use for costmap and amcl. Can anyone see somthing in the setting to prevent the local plan.

It depends on your controller setup for move_base and might warrant deeper investigation, but here is a guess: You are hitting recovery behaviors, most likely because the local planner could never find a plan. This would hint at a problem with the costmap setup.

Nothing in the status logs...but by setting the escape_vel to a none negative number. The robot stoped moving backward proving that in fact it was in a recovery mode as you say.

After backing out costmap configurations going to defaults and moving to ekl combined odom with an GPS in gazebo I resolved this issue.
