Unhappy Almost the same problem

Our 2001 ML320 had the same problem, however, it also would sometimes sound the warning buzzer. This happened while we were traveling through Portland Oergon. After about six hours at the Protland dealership they found the problem to be a hole rubbed in the wiring harness near the left rear of the car. At that time there was only one other reported case of this problem on the master Mercedes problem file that they were able to call up through their dealer computer link. You might have your local dealer contact them for the fix. If you need additional info, let me know and I will try to find the paper work on the repair. This was the next to the last straw for the ML and we sold it!

WOW that is the same behavior we are seeing with our ML320.
I thought that was Normal as it needs new brakes.
Basically both the Pad light and the Brake light go on at the same time.
My wife has told me that she does get the beeping sound with the ETS and some other light come on too, but it only has happened twice since the pad, and brake light started to come on a couple of weeks ago.
Also the pad light and the brake light are not on all the time, only when she brakes.
Is that normal?

Thanks
