| Description of the problem | Tl* the contact owns a 2011 mercedes-benz e550. Upon inspecting the vehicle, the contact discovered that the failure with the adaptive cruise control may have been associated with the front and rear braking system. As the failure progressed, the front brakes overheated and warped prematurely due to the front discs and rotors. The dealer confirmed that the rotors were warped and replaced the front and rear brake pads and rotors. The failure recurred with the brakes having a strong sensation, overheating, and caused the vehicle to be unstable when the brakes were applied. The failure mileage was not available. |
