| Electronic Stability Control problems |
The contact owns a 2006 mercedes-benz Cls500. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the abs and esc warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the electronic stability control module. The contact was informed that the part had been discontinued. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 131,000.
Brakes keep going out. Brake pedal going to the floor. Esp light comes on and car throttling to a slow creep even on the highway. Extremely dangerous for me and my wife and child.
Driving at steady speed, tried to brake- brake pedal sank to the floor, driver's side front wheel locked up- no apparent braking actually happened, despite pressing on the brake pedal. Locking up of driver's side front wheel caused total loss of vehicle control, causing a 360 degree spin. Car malfunctioned afterwards, could not drive until turned off the engine and restarted the car. There were no warning lights afterward- no brake light, no check engine light, no error message in the dashboard relating to brake failure.
