| Was driving vehicle on highway at 75 mph set speed in cruise control and stepped on brake as i approached traffic congestion. vehicle would not stop and continued to maintain set speed regardless how hard i pressed on the brake. eventually, i decided to try shifting into neutral and the vehicle was placed back under control of the footbrake. thankfully, the vehicle was slowed down without incident but it was a very scary moment. noticed, at this time, the bas/esp malfunction indicator lamp was displayed on the dashboard. drove vehicle directly to a mercedes dealership for repairs. dealer advised stop lamp switch shorted. replaced lamp switch. although, this was the first incident while in cruise control the vehicle did have similar past problems with the braking system (ie-brake switch and shifter control module were replaced) that prevented shifting out of park into any other position. vehicle should have safety device to override cruise control or prevent cruise control operation with any malfunction in the braking system or activation of the braking indicator lamp. what assurances are there to prevent this from happening again? *tr | |||
