While traveling in a straight line at a constant velocity, my car applied braking force to the front left (driver's side) wheel, rapidly and suddenly. The bas esp light then came on and remained on for the duration of the drive.

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. This is a total safety issue on this car and after researching online in various forums there are numerous owners in both the C and ml class vehicles (they use the same exact same part numbers) that experience this problem. Please please please take time to look into this. There are a lot of these cars on the road and this can and will cause major accidents!!!!

While driving on the highway or on any other street my Mercedes Benz C230 engages the left front brake by itself causing the car to veer sharply to the left for about 2 seconds. Multiple occasions of this very dangerous situation. Dealer states that the issue is a faulty yaw rate sensor and charges over $1,000 to repair but this should be a recall due to the potential for this type of malfunction to seriously injure someone or even worse. After researching this event in more detail, I understand that this is a occurence with mb occuring in serval vehichles over the years. This must be recall
