| Description of the problem | Hi, i was driving normaly on a road, no warning, just brake light pops up to reduce power. Pedal was empty and steering got hard no upshift. I hit a curb and cracked my bumper. All brakes are new. When i looked on line, i saw some people developed a device that resets the abs mudual to 100%. They said mercedes put a timer in the system that runs out and make you change stuff? This device i just bought to use so i can use my car. I'm an automotive technician and this scraed the hell out of me on a dark night in ohio. I ened up towing my car to my house 60 miles away. Very angery with mb. |
