Brake fluid leaking

I also had that same message "Brake: visit workshop" I noticed the fluid on the floor. My mechanic said the pump needs to be replaced and it would cost $2100??? Does the pump cost that much? Thanks for any help.

Okay back from Dealer replaced the stop switch said the recall didn't apply to my car. No more warning light so far I have a month before the 10yr mark. spent $165.00.

Thanks for the post.

Also recommended I flush my brake fluid. So I guess that is my next search they quoted me $250.00.

Mine is a 2004. How would i know if its under warranty? I don't want to take it there and then have them tell me the time is up and pay for the work and diagnostic fee of over 300$. i have 98000 miles currently. Is there any other parts that may be covered at this age and mileage i should ask about while im there?

Can someone tell me what to do to take this message off?
I too have that message in my dash. Just came on after a 6 hour trip in my 2006 cls 500. Never had a problem with my brakes before. I ordered pads and my husband says I have a lip on the edge of my rotor.

WIS will provide the new thickness rotor values, acceptable minimum thickness values, and must replace values. If the second value, you can pad slap it. If the last value, you must replace rotors.
