Brakes keep going out. Brake pedal going to the floor. Esp light comes on and car throttling to a slow creep even on the highway. Extremely dangerous for me and my wife and child.

problem #1

CLS500 8-cyl

  • 91,900 miles
Driving at steady speed, tried to brake- brake pedal sank to the floor, driver's side front wheel locked up- no apparent braking actually happened, despite pressing on the brake pedal. Locking up of driver's side front wheel caused total loss of vehicle control, causing a 360 degree spin. Car malfunctioned afterwards, could not drive until turned off the engine and restarted the car. There were no warning lights afterward- no brake light, no check engine light, no error message in the dashboard relating to brake failure.
