“I own a 2001 Mercedes-Benz CLK430. I have been experiencing intermittent sporadic failure of the ABS, bas, esp systems when I apply the brake. On occasions the gas pedal sticks and the car speeds up to dangerous speed. The car has to be put in neutral and once stop and restart, it would run normal again, and the car shows no malfunction . Recently on july of 2013, while I was driving on the freeway and the car sped up on it own and almost went out of control. When I apply the brake ABS/bas/esp reported as failed, but the car did stop when I put in neutral and apply the brake. …”
