| Automatic Emergency Braking problems |
Hard braking suddenly activated without driver input, smoke coming from front wheels. Yaw sensor malfunction indicated by obd scanner (checked after incident).
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.
