E-brake malfunction

Haven't seen this mentioned on this forum thus far.. just the other day I was driving down the highway in my 2019 C63s coupe at about 70mph when i got an alert that my e-brake had turned on without me touching it. Pulled over to the side, tried turning it off/on, no success. Tried turning off and on the car, same thing. Thankfully car was still under CPO warranty (currently just over 40k miles) so MB paid for the tow + uber and the repair was covered. Turns out there was a malfunction on the e-brake modulator on the left rear wheel.. the tow truck driver mentioned he's seen this happen a few times before on C300s.

That's not good to hear man especially at 70mph I'm sorry this left you stranded. Hoping this was one of those things that will never happen again in your car aye lucky you got it all sorted out and your car is back on the road again.

I;ve been on here for a while and have not heard of this issue in the C63 Coupe yet. Bit of a worry these cars!
