I purchased the Mercedes Benz E500 2003 about five years ago. I noticed about 21/2 year that the brake lights kept coming on even after having the brakes replaced. The braking system light comes on and message states please stop your, the braking system is defective. This happen several times I was in traffic. I could not stop and when I turn the vehicle on, this message comes on the dash board. When I went to the Mercedes Benz dealership I was told my sensotronic brake control needed to be replaced. I was never told by any Mercedes Benz dealership that there was a recall on the sensotronic brake control. They just quoted me prices on replacing the sensotronic brake control, instead of telling me there was a recall. I need your help, because I was never notified, nor did the Mercedes Benz dealers tell me of the recall. Please email at traycehall@gmail. Com or contact at (786)541-6849.
