ESP/BAS Malfunction
I know many of os have had this problem, so I wanted to report my experience. The dealership thought it was a bad brake light switch (as they have had some experience with this as the cause) but when I got it in to them for service yesterday, they found that it wasn't. It turns out there is a group of three-wires that can corrode fairly easily and that was the culprit. They said there is a TSB on this from MB, so for those of you who have been unable to get your problem resolved with your dealer , have them check this out.

Hope this helps.

Tim

Well, first of all, it's my initials! :p

More commonly, though, it's a Technical Service Bulletin.

I think these are the parts, mine needs the kit but is on back order and has not been installed as of yet.

203-540-47-33 = Electric Cab
001-997-83-90 = Clamp
001-546-99-41 = Cable Connecter
006-989-84-85-10 = Adhesive Tape
