For some reason my MB says "break system, brake, call service." Out of the blue it said this. It was sitting for like 3 days then I started it up and the message came. Theres no leaks and the car starts and makes no brake noise from the few feet I rolled the car. ANY ideas , suggestions or what not??

 

anyone?

 

It could be sensor error, but it is your brakes....... go to the dealer and get it checked.

 

did you turn it off and turn it on? did it (light) stay on? is your battery weak?

 

Ya I turned the car on and off a few times and nothing changed. My battery is good and I had my brakes changed a year ago. BUt the dealer a weak and a half ago changed my brake fluid. I wonder if that has anything to do with it or its just another glitch???

 

I also had my plan A service done to it and the dealer wouldve said something about my brakes being bad> I Dont freaking get it dammn> they said I needed my brake fluid changed so I did. And out of the blue a weak and a half later I get this RED heart attack message!!! Scared to drive it !

 

The most intelligent answer is "take your car back to the dealer."

A second-most intelligent answer would require the actual wording of the message. There are quite a few brake-related messages but none of them are "break system, brake, call service."

 

heres a pic

 

THe abs light is on too. Later on in the original day I posted this thread, the message went away, it just disappeared. And now I started the car up again today and the message came back????? I dont get it.

 

DUDE, go to your SA at the local MB now! Don't play with your brakes, too serious. Go like yesterday!

 

the message went away again!!! It's not like I'm driving it with the message on. I bought another car for work and what not, so I havnt driven the car in like 2 weeks. I've just been starting it up so the battery doesnt die out.

Does anyone know since my brake fluid was changed that somehow this error message can come about? like if the dealer forgot to attatch something or they messed up the sensor??

 

What difference does it make? The red message means don't drive the car, have it towed to a mechanic. Who here in their right mind would give you an opinion that could encourage you to go out and kill yourself?
