Funny Noise

Hey guys,
My ML320 is really turning into a bucket of problems. Now somestimes when I press the brake pedal, the front left tire makes a groan/screech sound and the triangle light with the exclaimation point comes up.That light means that there is a loss of traction. The lights blicks fast then stops. But the noise is just there and feel like the things going to fall apart.
Did anyone have the problem before?
Thanx

RE: Funny Noise

It sounds like a issue that needs prompt attention. The wheel speed sensor could be sending a faulty signal and the ABS is hammering that caliper. I am sure you would know whether or not the pads were worn out, so I am guessing it is wheel speed sensor or another part of the ABS system.

Every time i press the break it kicksback and makes a *boing* noise and now everytime i accelerate, the triangle with the exclaimation point comes on and the car doesn't accelerate, like it lost traction, and then it goes again.

RE: Funny Noise

It has to be malfunction in the ABS or ESP package.
A yaw sensor or wheel speed sensor is acting up and creating theis problem. Th kickback on the pedal makes me almost sure that it is an ABS problem. Please get it checked out before someone gets hurt.
I heard of a similar situation that progressed to the point of the caliper locking up the front wheel at 60mph. I was almost a catastrophy.
