Car swerve, unable to control steering when cornering
I was driving my Mercedes E200k avantgarde year
2007 model yesterday when while cornering on
highway, the car swerved to both left & right, it
appeared as if the front tyres nit responding to the
steering. Happened on again few minutes later on
another corner and while turning at intersection.
While this incident happened, a Hazard signal
appeared on both occasion (the triangle with
exclamation mark). Luckily no cars nearby early
morning, if I fail to control the car it could have
turned spinning.
Brought the car immediately for diagnostic check,
the mechanic said from the scan it shows faulty on
the ABS module and require replacement, which is
very costly.
My question, why is the ABS sign never appeared
while the incident occured, instead only Hazard
dangerous sign appeared?
Is the ABS module require replacement after
certain mileage? Mine is 120000km.
I dont feel safe at all driving the car if it is not fixed
anyway, so I just heed what the mechanic told me
so.
What other options are there? I hope after
replacing the ABS module, the problem is fixed.
Appreciate your advice.
Thank you.
