June 2, 2025 To Mercedes Customer Service: Safety Issue. This weekend I experienced the most frightening encounter that I ever had in a car. As I was driving on a 4-lane bypass highway at 55MPH my car suddenly and erratically turned to the right almost sending me into the cement bridge guards (I was driving over a river bridge). As I tried to correct the car, it then veered sharply left sending me into the passing lane where other traffic needed to avoid hitting me. Then after the car was stabilized âESP inoperableâ light came on. I had nowhere to pull off on this particular highway and had to continue to drive until I got to an exit. Took to my dealership. Apparently cause is âbrok
Grinding nose after I did the breaks. And when I press the gas it acts like the e brake is on on
