Automatic Emergency Braking problem

The car brakes suddenly by itself just after the esb/abs lights come on along with an exclamation point (!). This has happened randomly at least 4 times since we purchased the car. Once at high speeds on the highway. It appears this problem is common with other owners of mercedes 2001-2002 ml's. According to the forums below, the problem seems to be a "yaw rate sensor" malfunction or defect. My mercedes mechanic saw no error codes for this component and it seem extremely expensive (forum states part is $3000) to replace. The https://mbworld.
