Well this is different (I did a search on 'ESP' and didn't see this particular issue posted here previously). My 05 C230k dash said 'ESP Error - drive to workshop' when I started it tonight. It reminded me again when I got to my destination - had to page through the display so it wouldn't say '1 message'.

Got back in about 20 minutes later, message was gone. All the previous errors I've been able to call back up, this one is 'in the ether'.

While the message was 'active', there were no issues driving the car. Maybe it was just a goofy thing with the brain - maybe Dr Z really thinks I should downgrade to a Chrysler. I don't know.

Should I be all that concerned, or just mention it at next service?

 

just ignore it if it happens once.

bring it back to the dealer for computer check since it's under warranty.

 

It will go for B-service in January 07, i can mention it then. Does the brain store this sort of thing though? Seemed odd that it was belligerent about messaging me, then vaporized. :shrug:
I can bring it to MB of Pompano, FL, (formerly Autohaus, the collective has taken over all of South Florida MB dealers - ugh ) they have been great to me, just curious if it will even show up when they plug the gizmotronic readers in to it.
I'll probably bring it in early over this anyway, I have met some smokin hot women at this place. I love my car. :woot:
