2001 SLK 230
BAS - ESP light and instantaneous breaking
Hi there,
I have a 2001 SLK230 6 speed. One day and without any problems, The BAS/ESP warning light came on as soon as I started the car. It stayed on for two days and then it turned off by itself. next day, it came back on, and something strange happened. As I was moving within the residential area at about 3 mph, one of the right front wheel activated what seems to be the ABS, and the car pulled hard to the right for a small instance eventhough my foot was on the gas pedal. Since that time, this happened again three times within the past week, and the BAS/ESP light is still on.
I thought there might be something stuck near the front wheels, but when checked, I found nothing out of the ordinary.
I really appreciate any suggestions that may help me solve this problem.
Thanks.
