The safety component that is covered under the sbc warranty is the entire brake master cylinder specifically the part that is bad is the brake pedal position sensor the car is undriveable without it, they have a 25-year warranty on it yet they have no parts and no way to fix it which is obviously unacceptable they've also refused to provide a loaner car until they come up with a way to fix my car leaving me on the side of the road with nothing to drive it's unacceptable! my safety and everybody's safety on the road is affected by this because the car won't stop if you drive it and you have really strong legs you can get it to slow down and eventually stop it's completely unsafe the brake pedal cannot tell the computer where it is in its travel which means the system doesn't know that you're applying the brakes which don't work. Yes the problem has been confirmed by two shops one of which has a snap-on scanner which I can attach the scan to showing the issue and currently the car is sitting at a shop that uses mercedes-benz only star system the same system that they use in the dealership there is no question at any level what is wrong with the vehicle. The car is not safe to drive to the dealership and now in the winter this $132,000 convertible isn't going to be driven in the salt just to get to a dealership to find out what they're not going to do for me I've already confirmed and share the scans and images and everybody I've spoken with at the dealerships agrees that it's ridiculous that mercedes has a 25-year warranty on a part that they do not make do not have and cannot fix yes there are two different brake malfunction lights that are on the dash you cannot clear them as though in a code way like you can on some things and the car is not to be driven, the problem first arose a couple months ago and we started diagnosing it until on the facebook forum somebody told me that it's covered by a 25-year sbc warranty which when I contacted the dealer and mercedes-.

This is a complaint on the sbc sensotronic braking system. This should be a recall from mercedes and it is not. It is listed as an "issue" that they have specifically extended the warranty to 10 years just for this system. It is extremely dangerous. The braking system failed out of nowhere while I was exiting the freeway! an alert came on and told me to depress the brake fully which I was unable to do! I was pressing it as hard as I could and the car was not stopping. I had to pull the car into the ditch next to the ramp to avoid hitting the car that was stopped in front of me. Luckily I had already slowed down where it would stop running into the shrubs on the side. This is extremely dangerous! mercedes should definitely deal with this! I had no idea about any of this and now looking it up online I see hundreds of people with very similar stories about this system. I am surprised there isn't a class action lawsuit yet on this. I may attempt to file one as this is an extremely dangerous product. Clearly merdedes as a company knows this as they have listed it as a "problem" for my VIN #, but they have not issued it as a recall, which I believe is a gross abuse of power from a huge company. This is a safety issue and is probably causing accidents right now as hundreds of thousands of cars with this defective system are on the road.
