| While driving on 101 freeway at full speed, the mercedes suddenly self-initiated continuous brake action. this was uncommanded -- without me pressing the brakes or taking any other action. the console displayed an esp error message. this nearly caused an accident. this severe safety hazard could have very easily caused damage, injury or death. car was taken to mercedes-benz of calabasas. it was explained to me that this esp uncontrolled auto-braking on freeway issue is from the yaw sensor. calabasas replaced it today -- total cost over $1,000. i just emailed mercedes usa on the matter. regardless of that outcome, i feel that the nhtsa must be informed of the very serious safety hazard, so i'm entering the information here. *tr | |||
