Unfortunately that is not it. They are replacing the master cylinder just in case. If that doesn't work, they give up.

I wonder if trash in the ABS lines would cause this? Before you start sending their kids through medical school, have them completely flush the brake system.

If you get a very hard pedal sometimes they need to guess again...

the check engine light comes on when I start the car I changed the egr valve in it and it went away until today, I had a friend search for a code and we found PO456 and couldn't find that particular code my buddy thought it could be a gas cap thing, it did indicate a small leak, but in the list of the codes it didn't have PO456,weird what could it be??????

First failure in 30 mons - cam sensor chk eng lite by naatz1
Sep 21, 2006 (4:37 pm)
2004 300M bought new Mar 04. I had the check engine light come on about a day or so after filling with gas, it would go away after a few engine on/off cycles AFTER tightening the GAS CAP. So I was sure it was the "gas cap thing", but the dealer insisted they needed to check it out. Sure enough, it was a bad (intermittent?) cam sensor problem & they replaced the sensor, totally coincidental about the gas cap even though it did that 3 times. Both my wife and I had it lurch/stumble once each so I was suspicious something worse was amiss, I guess the dealer had the correct hunch on this one. First real fail in 30 months & 29,000 miles since new, if I go another 30 mons w/o anything I will feel just fine! The only thing I am watching is the engine started using just under a quart of oil in 3000 mile oil changes, not sure if anyone else has experienced this minor oil usage or especially if it gets worse with age.

My '02 Special burns a good bit of oil between oil changes. It burned 1qt between 3K mile changes and even more now that I'm on 5K mile changes. I use full synthetic. I have no clue where the oil goes because the car doesn't smoke and the oil is in relatively good shape when I check it. It's still a good shade of brown and there is no fuel odor to it.
 
I did 7500 mile intervals twice, but had to drop back down to 5K miles because it was burning almost all the oil at 7500 miles. The dealer says it's normal to burn a quart in 3K miles. Whatever.

That's really fairly normal, a quart in 3,000 miles, I wouldn't worry about it unless it got worse and quickly. Just keep an eye on it. If it stays at 1 qt 3,000 miles for the next 10,000 miles, then forget about it, you're fine. But if you find the oil consumption keeps going up and up and up, then I'd be more apt to worry, If it hits a quart at 1,500 miles, I would have a cylinder leakdown test done immediately.
