| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a mercedes benz 2001 ml320 and the lateral acceleration sensor failed around 15,000 miles and was replaced at my own expense. the bas/esp (break assist/electronic stability program) warning light comes on during each short or long trips and goes away after the vehicle sits for a while and restart of the engine and this started to occur after the warranty expired. the first replacement did not work because the wrong parts was used (so the dealer says) and the problem came right back but was corrected with the correct parts the second time (sometimes i feel the esp kicks in and breaking but that might just be my feeling). this could be a safety related issue and should be a recall item since customers that are used to these safety features may have wrong sense of feeling when the sensor fails unexpectedly at a time when this feature can avoid an accident. *jb |
