| I have a 2003 e500 mercedes benz. on several occasions when coming to a stop, the sbc pump would smoke from the hood. on april 18, 2012 was the first notice of pump smoking. shortly afterward the pump would continually cycle or run. on april the 27th the pump started smoking and was extremely hot and the brake visit workshop light appeared immediately. on april 30, 2012 i visited atlanta classic cars mercedes on boggs road in duluth, georgia. after a 4 hour wait, the service advisor kim cates, told me that the sbc pump reservoir was defective. i recalled that a recall was summon in october 2004 for sbc pump failure. (campaign no. 2004050014). the dealer refuse to replace pump and failed to acknowledge the recall campaign citing that certain parts of the (sbc) brake system pump is not covered under this recall. i was stunned to know that a dealer can pick what part of a safety device that has malfunction to fix. this is the most important device on a car (brakes). i am asking for help as many people has had this very problem with there sbc pumps. this could cause a fire,death or serious injuries. | |||
