| Electronic Stability Control problems |
The contact owns a 2011 mercedes-benz C300. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, he became aware that the brakes were not functioning properly. The contact had to pump the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a complete stop. The cruise control, abs, and traction control warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic; however, the vehicle was diagnosed with a failure with the electronic stabilizing program control unit. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 84,000.
The rings used to determine wheel speed for the stability system fail, this has happened twice to my car and can result in the brakes being applied without warning. Also takata air bags have not been replaced in the three years after the recall.
