ML270 CDI all whells lockup while driving
hi all, i am new mercedes owner, i only had my 2001 270ML CDI one day when all of the wheels suddenly locked up for 1 or 2 seconds while travelling at about 60kph and then the BAS/ESP light lit up. The car did this 5 or 6 times, over 10klms, while i returned it to the dealership, apparently it was a faulty sensor (Mercedes replacement sensor $2600.00). has anyone else heard of this problem?
thanks in advance

This hapened only ones so far to my wife while taking ramp onto freeway. I believe the computer thought the car is going to a spin and locked up wheels for second. My wife shut it off and turned around, drove home about 4 miles. I believe that only BAS/ESP was on at that time, I reset it by turning steering wheel lock to lock twice and drove the car whole week without any problems. Then all 3 left warning lights came on in my driveway, I opened up brake pedal switch and one of two internal moveable contacts was broked off. Switch was only $8 or $12 at the dealer. After installation again I have reset the steering angle sensor by turning the wheel from far left to far right and never had any problems since (for one year now driving it daily).
