People stop saying this. At 65MPH crash then yes, Mercedes Benz cars are safe. But at anything over 80MPH it doesn't matter whether you are driving a Ford or Ferrari, a Benz or VW, only God can save you. My point is, he was just lucky, Mercedes does not 'vouch' that their cars can protect you on a 90MPH impact.
Think about that every time you accelerate past 80MPH...

No car will save you in 100mph collision

Is @ Home
So thats what the underside of a C class looks like.
Scary.
I would probably never get behind the wheel of a car if that've happened to me. But since my car is slow I don't even bother with it.

For those of us that don't know, what do you drive? Be more specific than just a C-class..
Also, there are numerous things that could cause that warning to come on. Best to just visit the dealer and get it looked at.

Did you try resetting/reteaching the esp? This error is common when you have to jump your car (and maybe other power related issues?)
The whole rotate the wheel all the way to the left then all the way to the right, then back to the center? (just hoping ya arent gettin robbed)

Not saying this is the fix for you, but another common failure causing this warning is the Steering Column Control Module depending on what year model you have. There was a string of them a while back that were failing left and right..

I once had the same problem in an E320 W210 Mercedes. The ESP, BAS, and ABS all flashed on the display saying "Malfuction" and "Visit Workshop!" After taking it there, they said that there was a brake lamp switch failure and that it was an easy fix (I'm sorry I can't provide more details).
Just a possibility. The electronics fail all the time. Might not be anything wrong with the car except for a computer chip short circuiting.

Something Slow
Installed KW Variant 2 & Sold The Tein Basic
THE GOODS
Please notice the #4 Spring Pad in the back ground that i cut in half so it will sit flush with the KW V2 Rear spring perch
H&R New Style 10mm Spacer for Front Wheel Only
the Ride at the Highest setting in the Front & lowest setting in the Rear with KW Variant 2 & Spring Pad #4
the ride with the coilovers highest Settings in the front and Half way up in the rear
I will be leving the Car this Height untill Winter Is Over
The Ride with the KW-V2 is way better than the tein to me.
SO AM KINDA BACK TO THE FACTORY LOOK BUT HAVE THE OPTION OF LOWERING AND ADJUSTING THE DAMPERS..

got the spacer from purems.com.. i need to add the 10mm spacer to lower it some more right now i still got the 5mm on and the spring perch is very close to the tire.. the ride quailty is great compare to Tein its Way better.. maybe its because i have the Dampers set between soft & Hard
