1 Brake Sensor problem

Failure Date: 06/06/2010

Car: 2000 mercedes c230 kompressor driving at 55mph, the car's front right brake suddenly engaged causing the car to loose control for a moment. The brake then releases and the bas/esp light illuminates. This has happened 5 times in the last week. This situation is extremely dangerous!!!!!! I have researched the issue and the dealership is telling me it is the yaw rate sensor or steering position sensor. The fix is $1100. This is a total safety issue on this car and after researching online in various forums there are numerous owners in both the c and ml class vehicles (they use the same exact same part numbers) that experience this problem. Please please please take time to look into this. There are a lot of these cars on the road and this can and will cause major accidents!!!!.
