While driving approximately 30 mph along a straight paved road under clear conditions, the right rear tire suddenly locked. There was a loud screech from the tire. The car immediately fishtailed and swung the rear end of the vehicle into the oncoming lane and directed the car towards the sidewalk where pedestrians were walking. Thankfully, I was not traveling fast! after some research, this seems to be an very dangerous, yet relatively common, issue with Mercedes. Despite the complaints, a NHTSA investigation into the faulty yaw sensor (turn rate sensor) was abandoned. Please reopen the case as this is a serious issue!
