Vehicle started flashing a red warning sign while driving at which point i lost all brakes it was only right that i used a runaway ramp at the moment otherwise the car would have not stopped. I turned off the vehicle and then upon restarting everything brake related disappeared. Also this has happened a few times already.

Mzb issued a 25-year-warranty/safety recall extension on my 2003 e500 mzb car; #2005110001 -for the sensotronic brake system. Around august 2020 i was driving on surface street when suddenly the dashboard started flashing red warnings and the speed immediately reduced and transmission was locked in first gear. I was almost rear-ended and managed to pull car curbside. I then slowly drove car home, and the next day contacte a master ase mzb mechanic and had car towed there in temecula. He determined the sbc unit was the cause and even called mzb temecula to assure they had the part. He then informed me my car was under a 25-year recall extension to repair the safety- hazard issue. Dealer and mzb usa refuses to repair - they say since their computer does not show faults, the codes that the ase master mechanic ( who is know to temecula mzb service manager for years) sent to them do not matter...Only their system codes. I live in an area where freeway drives are essential and frequent; a sbc limp mode breakdown would put mine and others lives in danger. Mzb temecula and mzb usa in georgia told me that is not their problem unless ifthe system goes down and i have towed to them.

While the vehicle was on the highway the car lost power. Pulled over for visual inspection, noticed the fuel was leaking rapidly. Immediately shut off the car. Had vehicle towed to local mercedes benz dealership. Dealer verified the tank was leaking.

I was making a right turn onto a city street when i heard a click/ crack, the instrument panel lit up, and the steering wheel locked. I was not able to stop the car in time and hit a parked car. The engine did not turn off when this happened. It wasn't a case of the power steering failing because i was not able to turn the wheel at all (i do know what that feels like). I put the car in park, turned off the engine, surveyed the damage, then turned the car back on and was able to reverse it and park the car behind the accident. The steering was fine. After i collected myself, i drove the car around the block (residential area) and saw the car drove fine, except for the fact that i was just in an accident. I ended up having the car towed because the serpentine belt was rubbing against something, causing smoke, and i didn't want the belt to break. I was slightly injured in the crash. Because i was trying to turn the locked steering wheel, i injured my right elbow from the impact. My stomach muscles were also hurt, probably due to the flexing of my core as i was trying to yank the wheel back to the left to avoid the accident. As i stated earlier, these were very minor injuries. The airbags did not deploy. The main reason i'm reporting this is because i bought this car for my son to drive. And i cannot let him drive this car now, knowing that this can happen. Thank god he wasn't driving and it happened at low speed.

Air suspension lower caused car stopped while driving. This air suspension has serious problem needs recall due to defective design. Springs have been replaced several times with the same problem. This problem will cause accidents while driving.

Sbc abs hydraulic unit failed needed replacement & switch mb said this was not under warranty for my yr vehicle. Mercedes benz finally took ownership of this problem and stated in document august 2018 that they are covering the cost and labor to this problem for up to 25 years in model year. But your site does not show a recall on this?? Limp mode and fault lights flashed sbc/abs unit failed. Had to be towed to dealer. Please, file my complaint since i am going after mercedes benz local dealer for my refund of cash for this problem to be fixed. Thanks
