Service Brakes Problems of Mercedes Benz 320

Red warning light illuminated on dash flashing warning driver " reduced braking effect visit workshop" and " increase braking distance visit workshop:. After research this warning is displayed because the sensotronic braking system has failed and reverted to hydraulic system has taken effect as backup. This condition was subject to nhstb recall #'s 2004050014 and 2005110001. I contacted mercedes USA customer service and was refused help. I asked to speak to someone up the chain of command and received a call from a case manager who stated that my vehicle had been repaired by mercedes and that they had no further obligation to assist me with this problem. I have studied mercedes service bulletins and by their own admission the vehicles that are subject to these recalls have notes within the service bulletin that "please note that recall and service campaigns do not expire and may be preformed on a vehicle with a vehicle status indicator" it is further stated in mercedes service bulletin that the "sensotronic brake control unit pump motor may run out of permissible tolerances thereby triggering the hydraulic back up function mode. Further, "greater brake pedal pressure is required and the brake pedal travel will be noticeably longer which could lead to a vehicle crash". To this day mercedes engineers are attempting to repair this problem with software fixes which is the subject of another mercedes service bulletin. The refusal of mercedes to repair an obvious hazardous condition of a component that does not function as designed in unacceptable. It is my opinion that the vehicle poses a threat to not only the operator but others if operated under these conditions. Please help me I have not allowed my wife to operate what I believe to be an unsafe vehicle.

First incident, brakes, visit workshop message appeared on the information system. Took the car to the dealer and vehicle was diagnosed with sbc pump failure. Mercedes had extended this warranty to 10 years because of know defects to the part so all parts and labor were covered.

The vehicle accelerates when I am coming to a stop;this has happened about 5-6 times. On may 23, 09 I was almost stopped in a parking place and the car started bucking against my application of the brake and it was about 30 yards before the vehicle struck another vehicle and stopped. On Feb. 13 of this year I was stopping at a stop sign and the vehicle again started accelerating. Placing the gear into neutral saved another crash. The speed of the vehicle at the time of the incidents has been only about 2 mph. I know that "others" like to claim confusion, driver error, etc. I am absolutely certain that such has not been the case and I have a passenger witness to these incidents and what I did the vehicle simply overpowers my attempts to brake and bucks like a wild horse. . I have had the vehicle examined by several garages and they say that w/o the ability to recreate the incident a diagnosis cannot be made. The incident 5- 29-09 did result in damages. Newport beach police were called. The Feb 13 2210 incident did not result in damages (unless you are including being terrified of a crash).

While driving my e-320 I heard a loud popping sound come through the speakers. After I heard the sound the rear speakers and the sub woofer began to make a noised that suggested they were busted. When I stop the car and shut it off I heard a buzzing noise come through the speakers. Now when ever I apply the brakes I hear what sounds like a faulty ground noise coming through the speakers. There have been recalls on the brakes electrical system that sounds just like the problem that I am having but mb said my car is not included in the recall, by the way the to door speakers cost 189. 00 dollars a piece and the rear sub woofer cost 639. 00 dollars. I haven't started the research on how much the radio unit cost. This car has giving me several problems. What a beautiful lemon. .
