esp / abs malfuntion
ok so i know this has been posted before. i have a e55 amg 06 with 64k miles on it!
i am a first time benz owner love the car when it works but thats starting to be rare.
so it started off when i turn my wheel all the way to the right it was set that sensor off.. was progressively getting worse
also when i would break kind of hard from 120+ it would set it off but then go away
now every time i start the car its also saying abs and esp .. the cruise control wont work and the active head lamps..
i was told the sensor is like 800 bucks? i know this is a expensive car but i dont have unlimited funds to throw at this beast!
i need to get a good warranty on it.. the front bushings are also bad and the car shakes badly when i break. they want 2200 to fix it!
so give me some tips on this sensor also any one know a GOOD warranty for this 06 e55 amg with 64k miles on it

For a warranty, I would email brucem105@comcast.net. His name is Bruce Mendel.
I used him to find and purchase my S600 and my Fidelity Platinum Warranty for that same car.
He is honest, easy to talk to and more knowledgeable than you have any idea.
Feel free to contact me with any other questions about my experience with Bruce....... I always recommend to not take anyone's word and do your own search - here, on BenzWorld and AudiWorld.

You can try reinitializing the steering wheel angle sensor and see it that does anything. Disconnect the negative battery cable in the trunk for a few minutes. Reattach it, start the car, and turn the steering wheel lock to lock several times. You will also have to run the windows and sunroof up and down, holding the window buttons down for several seconds at the bottom(and maybe top stops) to reinitialize them as well. Turn off the car, restart, and see if your error messages go away.
