1 Brake Light On problem of the 2006 Mercedes Benz CLS500

Failure Date: 10/04/2018

Sensomatic braking control has been observed to have failed. Related brake warning light inhibits the car from braking properly or driving at a comfortable speed. Brake wire has been replaced and brake pads and the problem still persists. There is a recall on this that I was unaware existed. I need help. I'm in a dangerous situation that is unsafe for me and my family. Braking the vehicle takes considerable amount of pressure and seems to be delayed.

2 Brake Light On problem of the 2006 Mercedes Benz CLS500

I was driving and the brake light came on and my brakes went straight to the floor which could have caused me to crash. Mb should have recalled this problem from this sensotronic module which they new about.

3 Brake Light On problem of the 2006 Mercedes Benz CLS500

Failure Date: 10/20/2015

I own a 2006 mercedes-benz cls 500 4 door I took to mb dealer to check for any open recall on sbc breaks and the the answer by mb was that my vehicle manufacture date was past the recall on the breaks. My vehicle that I pay top money is not safe to drive, is parked into my garage for almost 12 months, I keep looking for sale and when the mb dealer see the brake red light on dash, they walk away with less than $ 3,000 dollars for my vehicle that I paid $ 18,000. Mb estimated around $ 4700 to fix my vehicle. The sbc module needs to be replace complete to be reprogram again and be a safe drive vehicle. My wife e-500 also have the same issues and they said the same, but doe s not show any recalls on the sbc module. Just wondering why mb do not fix the problem and let the owners like me continue on the mb family.

4 Brake Light On problem of the 2006 Mercedes Benz CLS500

Failure Date: 07/05/2012

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.
