One problem related to brake light on has been reported for the 2001 Mercedes Benz C320. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
At 55 mph the front left brake engages without applying the brake pedal and after a few seconds releases, the bas and esc faults are then visible on the dash. The brake light switch was replaced by mercedes two times, but this condition shows up after a few days of driving , codes show that the yaw rate sensor or connection is at fault. Even when the car is in park with the engine running on a flat level surface the fault warning dash lights esc and bas will come on with no movement in the car. This is a very dangerous situation for a collision from a vehical following me and running into me . Many others posted the same problem. Why is there no recall ? I have 8 grandchildren that you should care about.
