Replying to: alan5573 (Jun 02, 2006 5:02 pm) I had the same problem on my '01 slk 230. In my case it was low on hydraulic fluid, and the latches and hinges needed to be lubed. Try that and see how it goes.
#210 of 226 BAS/ESP Light Keeps Coming On-'01 slk230 by amixam Jul 29, 2006 (8:28 am)
For the 3rd time now, my BAS/ESP light, which has to do with the traction control, has come on. I've got an '01 SLK230Kompressor with 57K miles, only had it 1 month, certified pre-owned.   The first time I took it in they told me it was the Brake Booster vaccum pump that had failed, so they replaced it. The second time it came on, they found it was the Yaw Rate Sensor which had failed, which feeds info to the brakes if you are skidding or swerving.   I'm pretty much ready to tell them to put me in something else; I've only had the car 5 weeks, and 3 of those it's been in the shop. I'd take caveat emptor if it weren't certified, but don't they check this stuff out? Any ideas/suggestions? Am I overreacting or is this car a 'wrap'?>

Replying to: bgrsbtr (Nov 05, 2005 8:10 pm) I just found this site and it already explained some stuff I was concerned about. I lease a 2005 SKL350 and love it, but two things are starting to bug me. One is the bang. Mine seems to be rear side and I thought it might have something to do with the gas tank...I noticed it when I fill up my tank (sometimes) and it occurs until the tank is half empty and then it seems to slow down. It is erratic. I checked with dealer and he said one other person complained of it as well but they couldn't figure it out.   Any answers on why this happens?

Replying to: cflyer (Mar 07, 2006 5:20 am) My SLK 350 7 speed is at the dealer for it's 13,000 mile checkup and to see if they can fix this transmission problem. It feels like it's not shifting at lower speeds and is especially noticeable when I first start it up in the morning. This is the second time it's in the shop. Same thing first time and supposedly fixed. They say now it might be that the valve body needs replacing.   I sure hope I'm not going down the same path as cflyer. Anybody else have this problem fixed??? Replies to this message: amgnut (Aug 15, 2006 3:22 pm) merc1 (Aug 15, 2006 8:22 pm)

Replying to: connieg (Aug 15, 2006 3:09 pm) Valve body didn't fix it Had to replace entire tranny Bad to go through in the first year with 1838 total miles on the car. I must say that 15 months since the replacement I have been completley problem free I posted all I went through back in March to May 2005 here on Edmunds!

Replying to: gregisgod13 (Apr 10, 2006 5:38 am) Your only solution in life is to drive a truck, or a car only a mother could love, like an Aztec. If you are concerned about driving a car which a woman may like to drive, what more can I say. Oh damn, seems women like trucks now too. There is no hope, buy a motorcycle. Oh now they ride those too. You will have to walk I guess.
