Description of the problem	I was driving on an interstate hwy and the abs and esp warning malfunction occured with a visit workshop message. The engine rpm reved up and the vehicle slowed to 40 mph. I was able to get to a safe place. Consultation with a repair facility determined the cause to be the wheel speed sensors on the rear wheels. Further investigation revealed this same thing previously occured with the previous owner with 4000 miles on the vehicle the speed sensors were replaced at factory auth dealer at that time. This incident i am describing occured at 12000 miles on the vehicle. I was 700 miles from home and the nearest factory repair facility's only emergency opening was 3 days in the future. The independent repair facility that diagnosed the problem was not able to perform the necessary repairs. I drove home in limp mode. 4 speed sensors were purchased at a mercedes dealer for a cost of $900. 00 and replaced by myself. Prior to replacing the sensors the second time the abs and esp warning occured briefly and cleared on their own. Much research has shown this is a very common failure of these vehicles.
