Just recently purchased a 2010 C63 with 120 K miles on it. It is a fun and sexy ride. Sometimes after a cold start, and rolling about a mile out, easy, I get an ESC unavailable error message. At least one or two times the car has gone into limp mode. If I pull over, shut down, and reset, it goes away and the car runs fine. Anybody else having this issue? Grateful for any insights as always.

 

Dirty or dead wheel speed sensors. Run the codes.

 

Read the codes, wheel speed sensor, trans speed sensor or the esc module are all possible faults.

 

Thanks! Sensors are the bane of an aging Benz.
