On Friday (09-28-2012 02:35 pm), I was driving and about 30 miles ne of dallas, TX, I was traveling on south bound highway 75. I was in the center lane of a three lane hwy 75 south bound and I had the cruise control set at 65 mph. All the sudden, my SUV started braking and I saw the speedometer drop from 65 down and I could hear my tires catching as it was braking but I did not know what was going on with my vehicle. I tried the gas pedal twice but no response and I switched on my hazard lights. Luckily the minivan behind me was able to reduce speed and as I watched the speedometer needle drop below 20 mph, my SUV quit breaking. I was able to operate the vehicle (per usual) and exited off the first chance I got. I pulled into a parking lot and called my mercedes mechanic asking if he knew what might have caused the problem I just experienced. I mentioned that the drivers instrument panel showed the bas/esp indicator light. My mechanic asked if my SUV was working okay and if so, he recommended I turn around and head back to tulsa. I got back with no sudden breaking problems and took my SUV into the shop on Monday (10-01-2012 08:00 am). I got it back later that afternoon and they noted the repair reason was they had reinitialized the yaw sensor. I did a google search and found your website describing my experience exactly and I can say my sudden breaking experience was more than . 03 seconds.
