ABS/DSC system is not working

Hi guys, I have a problem here, maybe you can help me. I drive a 2019 Mercedes GLE Class, gasoline engine, with about 78,000 km on the clock and recently had a bad experience at my mechanic. That's why I'm trying my luck here. My car is showing several warnings, ABS light is on, ABS is not working and a light is flashing in the speedometer. I think it indicates a problem with the ABS sensor (wheel speed sensor). What do you think? Have you ever experienced something similar and what did you do? How was it with your mechanic? I look forward to hearing your experiences. Thanks in advance!

Hey, I can well understand that you're worried. I had a similar problem with my 2016 Mercedes E-Class petrol engine a while ago. In my case, it was actually the ABS control unit. The warning lights came on and the ABS didn't work either. After a check, my mechanic read out the fault memory and found that the ABS pump and the control unit were the cause of the problem. It was definitely a serious problem, as ABS is incredibly important for safety on the road. The whole replacement process wasn't exactly easy, getting to the sensor was a bit complicated. But once the part was replaced, everything was back to normal. Hope that helps you a bit. All the best, man!

Hey, thanks for your quick response and the info. It really helps to know that I'm not the only one with this problem. Did it cost a big chunk to replace the ABS control unit? And were there any other issues after that, or has everything been smooth sailing since? Curious how much this could end up costing me. Looking forward to your feedback!

Hey, no problem, that's exactly what we're here for, right? In my case, the repair of the ABS control unit cost a whopping €1000. It was a shock at first, but when you consider how important safety on the road is, it was worth every penny. Since I've been to the mechanic and had the wheel speed sensor (ABS sensor) malfunction fixed, everything has been running smoothly again. No further problems so far and the ABS works as it should. Annoying with the money, but better than being stuck on the road, right? Stay cool and don't let it drive you crazy, man!

Hey, thanks for your help and honesty. Yeah, it's really a bit pricey, but you're right, safety is the most important thing. I will prepare for it and make sure I budget enough money for the repair. Your experience kind of reassures me. I think I'll head straight to the garage tomorrow and get it sorted. Thanks again for your support! Also, stay cool and take it easy man!
