I was driving on interstate 285 east at a speed of 70mph suddenly the the bas/esp warning light came on and my car automatically applied brakes and the car couldn't run. So I turned of the engine and started the car again and everything went back to normal except the cruise control stopped working and bas/esp waring lights are still on but the car is running. How do I fix the cruise control and the bas/esp warning lights?.

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.

Safety concern - yesterday while traveling at 65mph locked on cruise control, the cruise control failed to disengage when the brake pedal was pressed. Instead, upon releasing the brake pedal, the vehicle began accelerating back to 65mph and almost caused me to ran into the truck in front of me. I slammed on the brakes to bring the car to a stop to avoid rear ending the car in front of me, at which time the bas/esp light came on. Again, the cruise failed to disengage since I could feel the car dragging while the brake pedal was pushed down. I manually turned off the cruise, and the bas/esp light remained on. Later, with the esp/bas light on, I reengage the cruise to see if it would reset, but again it failed to disengage when the brake pedal was pressed, and I had to manually turn off the cruise. When I parked the vehicle and turned the engine off, let it sit for about 20 min, and then restarted, bas/esp stayed on and gear shift locked up in park.
