This issue surfaced while driving and brakes where applied. Lost breaking due to corrosion perforating rear brake lines causing break fluid to leak and total loss of breaking. This is a 2008 c class 4matic sport where both rear brake lines feeding from the ABS module to the rear calipers were totally rusted and caused the car to loose all braking. Brake lines rusted mostly where they are attached to the frame under the car due to sub par quality of the metal used and moisture trapped between the bracket and the brake line. I own two other cars that are 22 years old with no rust on the brake lines and driven in the same exact environment as this mb c300. Repair cost at an independent shop ran $1600.

Takata recall, brake power steering malfunction ABS,esp,ets,SRS.esb,ebr flashes on and off on message center. Then vehicle started to drive very rough and bumpy, then I had no control of the steering wheel and it totally locked thank god iwas able to try and roll it to the side of the road and the car just totally went black and died, no headlights and I have to have it towed, waiting to get the diagnosis from the dealer. But I have done some research on line and have seen hundreds of the same complaints from all over the USA and even oversees that it has to do with the eis. This saddens me to see all the same complaints and I thought that we were protected as consumers by the government, and the federal safety agency against major auto manufacturer such as mbusa to call out these deadly defects before it consumed innocence peoples lives. But it is obvious that our lives means nothing to these people, because with all these identical complaints this is a defect that should be address and mbusa should have the decency to take responsibility and admit that this is a manufacturer defect and do a recall. This is just too much complaints on this problem and no one seem to be taking this matter serious, and we as the consumers are being stuck with these major repair bills running in the thousand. What is the purpose in making these reports when no one seems to care. How many complaints do you have to receive on the same issue for the federal safety agency and the fair trade act to stand up for us, in october of 2016 this same vehicle self accelerate and crash in to two other vehicles causing a major accident and when reported to mbusa they claim they did there investigation and nothing was wrong with my vehicle, they place the blame on me .daimler ag would not believe what there prestigious company as become

Car was driving very well suddenly flashes on message center power steering malfunction SRS,ABS,ets,esb,ebr esp in operative and it keeps flashing when car is in motion, then disappear when ignition is off, I have notice several complaints on your website with this same issues with this same year, model and other mercedes,a week a go I also receive a message to check brake pad wear before this message came up. I replace brake pads and rotos, and I am also being told it could also be my brake light switch or speed sensors, all was replace still as message. There is so many complaints with these messages that this should be considered a recall and the customers are being stuck with the repairs. It is obvious that it is a defect with these vehicles it is just too many. And no onw seems to be standing behind the consumers.mbusa is a major company and they are getting away with murder. Do you have to have major fatality before they do something about this problem. Does saving money means more than peoples lives it is just too many complaints on the same problems that common sense cant tell them it is a defect and the nhts should step up for us and demand a recall. How many complaints do you have to have in order for mbusa make this a recall.

Esp control module as I was driving on the highway, specifically getting off the interstate on a curved road, all of a sudden the following message/code illuminated across my dashboard, "brake" ebr ABS esp inoperative. I wasn't sure what this meant and I was extremely alarmed and nervous. As soon as I could I brought it into the shop and the technician told me it wasn't a brake issue, it was a faulty electronic stability control panel that needed to be replaced. The technician told me that he had just replaced these in about 4 other vehicles. Same exact problem. After doing research, it is a major safety concern because it reads the wheel data from the sensors as well as the ABS module which prevents traction and slippage when driving on the road, when making sharp turns, or even turning left or right. The car seems to fishtail. It also prevents stability on the road in the event of a crash. I've also noticed it has affected other areas of the car such as the turn signal, cruise control mechanism, steering column and starting up the car has also been an issue. I've had to turn the ignition switch a couple of times to get the car started. The car is also driving rougher than usual. This is a major concern for us because I am a single mother and I have a nine year old son who drives with me frequently. I'm worried about our safety. Not to mention our front driver and passenger takata airbags still have a recall that have yet to be dealt with. It has been well over a year and the problem still hasn't been resolved. This esp control module costs $1,500 to replace and I cannot afford this. I'm driving around in a ticking time bomb just waiting for something to happen. It is a major concern and needs to be addressed immediately. Thank you for your time and I certainly hope you take this seriously and place this on the recall list to avoid a bad situation.

This vehicle had a failure upon start that eliminated a number of safety features. When I started the car, I received three errors that the following were disabled: electrical brake (ABS, emergency brake, traction control), cruise control, and power steering. Loss of these made the car unsafe to drive.

When I've got to the car, put the key in the ignition, and turn the key with no crank noise in the engine. After a lot of tries I had noticed that my steering was not unlocking, windows don't work no lights on like ABS, check engine or all the lights that come on with the key on the on position, and that the car would not shift in neutral. After trying to jump the car and rearming/disarming the alarm I checked on line and found out that a lot of people have the same problem with their mercedes. Here is what I experienced 1.put key into ignition, steering wheel doesn't unlock. 2.instument cluster displays "remove key from ignition". 3.turn key to accessory, no lights on dashboard, only the radio works, windows don't work. 4.turn key all the way to start car, nothing happens.

Without a warning or any dashboard lights my car did not start one morning, it made a gunck sound and absolutely nothing would turn on. My neighbor then tried to jump start the car and only the radio would turn on. I then called aaa who was the able to start my car and said the battery was good and that I should be okay to drive. (I had left nothing on the night before) I then went on a 3 hour drive during the christmas break and about and hour in the car began acting weird almost as if it wanted to shut off, and randomly a service "ABS and esp" and "air bag" and few other things would come on the dash board. As soon as I got to my destination and turned the car off the car went completely dead, this time I wouldn't even let me lock the car with the fob. I had aaa come again and they were able to with a little playing around with the key and ignition, turn it back on. My whole drive back was worse than the drive there that I even thought I wasn't going to make it home safely but I made and again as soon as I parked, the car died. Since it was the holidays I wasn't able to go to mercedes and in the meantime for 3 days tried to get it on but nothing with both sets of keys, this time it wouldn't even let me unlock the car and the alarm kept going off when I would try to unlock it . I called aaa again to unlock and start my car but were unable to start the car, the alarm kept going off every time we put the key in the ignition. When looking at the symptoms my car is having online this seems to be a common problem in this make and model. The closest mb to me is about a 40 minute drive and will be very costly to have it towed and from the complaints read most have had to pay between 1200 -1500 to get this problem fixed. I have had my vehicle for under 2 years, 95k miles.

On the highway driving 40 MPH warning on the display came on stating the" ebr, ABS, esp are inoperative" and a warning display stating "power steering malfunction". Power steering was fine, but it was a very nerve wrecking drive. Dealership is stating it is the esp module and pump that needs to be replaced, which can only be done at the dealership.
