Brake Light Switch problems of the 2002 Mercedes Benz ML320

The contact owns a 2002 Mercedes Benz Ml320. For the past two years, the contact has taken her vehicle to the dealer to have the brake light switch repaired. When the brake light switch failed, the esp and abs indicators illuminated. The vehicle would stop and the gear would have to be placed into park to manually override the warnings. Once the vehicle was placed into park, it would not move. The brakes lights do not illuminate, which is a hazard to the vehicles in the rear of the contact. The switch has been changed at least eight times, but the failure still occurs. The dealer stated that they sent an email to the Mercedes Benz manufacturer at least twice, but have not received a response. The dealer informed the contact that the regional manager would inspect the vehicle, but this has not yet taken place. The failure mileage was 105,000.
