Fast moving traffic, dry weather. All of a sudden car applied brakes, thought I was having one of the tires breaking into pieces. This lasted until I pulled over and stopped, never experienced anything like this. An inexperienced driver in this fast traffic surely would have had an accident, maybe even fatally. Anyway, I saw nothing broken, all tire in tact, so I continued. This was in FL and having just purchased the vehicle the night before, I was on a long journey to my home state DE. It did happen a couple of more time with lighter impact. Today is Monday sept. 29th, I am back and have been researching mbenz forums and found out, not definite, people believe it is yaw sensor. I believe this is a serious issue and needs to be dealt with as soon as possible.
