| Electronic Stability Control problems |
I own a 2003 mercedes Slk 230 , which brakes on it's own at all different speeds . After the car brakes to the right for a couple of second the bas/esp light comes on . I have had this happen on the highway at 60 mph (very scary). I have since had the brake switch changed , and wheel sensors and new battery. I have since picked my car up and no problem for the last 100 miles until today when the same thing occured at a lower speed . Car is back in the shop reading no codes !!!!!! I have gone to the mercedes forum and I find that this problem is not uncommon . It seems that the yaw sensor and or lateral control sensor goes and cause the car to think it is sliding and randomly brakes (always to the right) . All of the complaints have had thier owners in a panic . This seems to be extremely dangerous .
