Traction Control Light Flashes with Noise
I have a 2011 ML350 Bluetec with 138K miles and today it started having a weird issue where the Traction Control Light (Triangle/Exclamation) will flash at the same time a grinding noise is coming from the front end. It happened only upon startup and driving slowly and then went away. It didn't happen in reverse. Unfortunately it has happened two more times after the car sat and then was started again so it definitely is having some kind of problem. Any ideas on what it might be before we bring it to a mechanic??

The grinding noise is probably the ABS system working....which would be normal.
Why it is working in the first place is the question.
Are you driving on some unusual slippery surface?
