I was stopped at a light (luckily) and my car started rolling forward. I pressed the brakes harder and they went to the floor and the car continued rolling forward. I threw the car into park and turned on my hazards. The police showed up. He tried putting the car in drive to get it off the road but it wouldn't go into gear. My husband showed up, turned the car off and then on and the car was able to be moved to a close parking lot. When we brought it to a mercedes dealership, they found codes (C233D, C22BC, C23BD, C223C, C26DE, C25D5) for pressure system failure and pressure failure to all four tires at the same time. We were told that the brakes needed to be flushed before any sensotronic warranty work would be reimbursed. So we paid $465.99 to have them flushed and were told that the system was retested and no problems were found. I was given instructions by the technician that when this happens again, brake early and press the brakes really hard. If we get a different code next time, they will be covered under the warranty. We have been in contact with mercedes and they have referred us back to the expertise of the dealership.
