Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Car: 2000 mercedes c230 kompressor driving at 55mph, the car's front right brake suddenly engaged causing the car to loose control for a moment. The brake then releases and the bas/esp light illuminates. This has happened 5 times in the last week. This situation is extremely dangerous!!!!!! I have researched the issue and the dealership is telling me it is the yaw rate sensor or steering position sensor. The fix is $1100. …”
