Mzb issued a 25-year-warranty/safety recall extension on my 2003 E500 mzb car; #2005110001 -for the sensotronic brake system. Around August 2020 I was driving on surface street when suddenly the dashboard started flashing red warnings and the speed immediately reduced and transmission was locked in first gear. I was almost rear-ended and managed to pull car curbside. I then slowly drove car home, and the next day contacte a master ase mzb mechanic and had car towed there in temecula. He determined the sbc unit was the cause and even called mzb temecula to assure they had the part. He then informed me my car was under a 25-year recall extension to repair the safety- hazard issue. Dealer and mzb USA refuses to repair - they say since their computer does not show faults, the codes that the ase master mechanic ( who is know to temecula mzb service manager for years) sent to them do not matter. . . Only their system codes. I live in an area where freeway drives are essential and frequent; a sbc limp mode breakdown would put mine and others lives in danger. Mzb temecula and mzb USA in georgia told me that is not their problem unless ifthe system goes down and I have towed to them.

"takata recall" each year it fails the emmission test the failed code is po456. I had an evap system test ran they said it was a problem with the purge valve, eval hose, and the filler neck. (leaks). In my own words, the engine comes on and off, the computer is indicating that the truck is open when it is not, the seatbelt tighten up and makes a clicking noise while I'm driving, and sometimes I can't get out of the car it locks me inand I have to push the unlock button on the dash, and the alarm comes on whenever! and the tire pressure indicator stays on and we recently had new tires put on. We had it balanced and an alignment done as well. Other than that the car is still driving well. I thought benz was one of the best vehicles but I'm not so sure about that now with these concerns! these things happen when in motion except for the alarm going off. I think there may be a problem with the fuel system and I hope this car don't blowup on me! s royster.
Tl- the contact owns a 2003 Mercedes Benz E500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds the vehicle's transmission shifting malfunctions and or locks. The contact stated that the vehicle has to be turned off and re-started in order for the transmission shift to unlock. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the turbine sensor, wheel, spark plugs, coil pack needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired.

Coming out of the parking lot, the car drives funny and suddenly the red lights on the dash board came on stop. Car too low. Return to the parking lot tried the raise button. You can hear the car raising and than it goes down again. Call the tow truck to tow it back.
Catastrophic failure of front left suspension strut on a 2004 mercedes E500 station wagon. The car has an air ride system which maintains the right height of all four corners of the car. It has been serviced regularly by mercedes since purchase. The air bladder inside the strut blew out while parked in front of my home. This resulted in the ride height of the front of the car dropping immediately without warning to the point where the frame was barely 2" above the pavement. If this had happened at speed on a rough road or one with crown or an irregular surface, or in heavy snow, the frame could contact the ground causing any number of possible outcomes including severe chassis damage and total loss of control.
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. I really appreciate your attention to this matter.
