SBC Breaking System

I own a 2007 SL550 and wondered if anyone has encountered issues with the SBC System.

Thank you.

No, but if you're in the USA there's a 25 year warranty on the control module. Perhaps elaborate on the issue you have as there are reams of posts on this subject and someone will help.

Breaking-the act of destroying.
Braking-the act of slowing down using some means of friction, or application of force opposite to momentum.

Yes, accumulators go bad, and motor brushes as well.

Yep, I understand it has that warranty. After I got my car back from my mechanic for its 73K service when starting the car with my foot on the break, I get a "rough" sound, but it went away as soon as my foot was off the break and when I happened to start my car later in the same day with the same method I don't get that sound.
