1 Brake Disc Pads problem

Failure Date: 04/18/2018

Break light comes on while driving. Stays on for 30secs and then shuts off. Happens when going around a sharp curve, down hill, or stopping abruptly. No check engine light comes on and no codes found. I have researched and seen this has been an ongoing issue with 200s for quite some time now, and there has been no fix. Break pads wear down at a much faster rate than normal. Even after break system has been flushed. Have not had an issue stopping the car, just the light comes on often. 2nd. Rack and pinion has gone out causing the car to lose power steering in 1 direction only. In my instance, I was only able to turn left normally and it was extremely difficult to turn right. Happened when I was parking the car and went to straighten up the wheel. Had the car towed to the dealership to be fixed.
