| Mercedes benz knows about the sbc unit wearing out the brakes prematurely yet has done nothing about it. there has been a software update for the brakes also, but this has nothing to do with the premature wear. this has to do with fixing a bug in the software for the brake lights to come on and for you to bring in for service. problem is they are charging consumers for this bug fix. i had to pay $120. my current milage is 127,000. brakes have been replaced goinmg on 5 times already. | |||
