ML320
I have a 2001 ml320. The bas/esp light coming on as you know is a very common problem.
I have read all the posts on it as it has come on and off intermittently over the last year or so.
It came on a few days ago, and the car lost power and the ml brakes by itself. Very scary stuff when it happens.
All the garages are closed untill janury 2nd for the holidays here so i am hoping to get a little help here.
1) I have checked the break light switch as suggested and as i cant get a replacement till 2nd january i sprayed soem wd40 on it to loosen it up and seem to be working fine.
2) When the car brakes and loses power by itself, if i turn the ESP off it doesnt seem to happen, but with the esp off when i brake it brakes very dangerously and the it brakes and skids to the right.
3) The problem only seems to occur on long journeys (6 hours plus).
Any ideas what it may be? I have checked the brake sensors, all look fine. and is no 2 above norml with ESP off?
many thanks in advance-i am desperate for any more info!
