| Air Brake Wheel Speed Sensor problems |
The contact owns a 2011 mercedes-benz R350. The vehicle had previously had the wheel speed sensor replaced eight times since September 2016. The contact stated that while driving at 55 mph, the anti-lock brake system inadvertently engaged, causing the front end of the vehicle to dip while the brake pedal was depressed. Additionally, there were grinding sounds coming from the vehicle as it came to a full stop. The abs and traction warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the wheel speed sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic. The vehicle remained with the mechanic, awaiting diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 80,200.
