| SUSPENSION - FRONT | |||

| While driving the drivers side front suspension collapsed onto the front tire. upon inspection of the suspension the bolt connecting the wheel hub to the upper part of the mcpherson strut was missing. this allowed the strut to flex sideways which caused the bottom bracket of the strut crack and fail. this allowed the entire car to fall onto the front drivers side tire. the passengers side front suspension was also inspected and the same bolt was found to be approximately 2/3 loosened. both front struts had to be replaced. fortunately when this happened to my daughter she was only doing approximately 25 mph as she had just made a turn. *nm | |||

| While driving, consumer made a right turn onto a ramp. the vehicle slid which caused the esp (electronic stability program)to engage which resulted in vehicle hitting into the curve and damaging the front and rear left vehicle suspension. ts there is a glitch in the esp system. when braking the esp kicks in as if the vehicle is sliding when it is not. this is what caused the vehicle to crash into the curb instead of braking as intended. *jg | |||

| I just had the conversation with my mb dealer about replacing a malfunctioning yaw rate sensor on my 2000 c230k. the problem is that this is causing a dangerous situation because it is randomly engaging my brakes at all speeds when it thinks the car is out of control. | |||
