Mercedes-Benz C36 AMG Problems
Brake Light Switch Failure May Cause ESP/BAS Warning Lights
Electrical & Lights --
Verified
The ESP and BAS warning lights may illuminate due to a failed brake light switch. Replacement of the failed switch should correct this concern.
Noise and/or Smoke From Drive Belt Area
Exhaust & Emissions --
Verified
The emissions air injection pump can seize, causing a loud squealing noise followed by smoke from the drive belt. If the engine is not turned off, the belt will break, turning on the alternator/battery warning light.
Squeaking/Worn Brake Pads May Require Rotor Replacement Also
Brakes --
Verified
The brakes may begin to squeak at about the 50 percent wear point. This is due to the size and material used for the brake pads and rotors. The brake rotor surfaces become uneven, causing a lip to form at the outer edge. This will generally require replacement of the rotors when the pads are worn (pad life varies depending on driving style and terrain).
ABS Modulator Failure Due to Dirty Brake Fluid
Brakes --
Verified
The anti-lock brake system (ABS) modulator assembly may fail due to dirty brake fluid. Our technicians recommend a complete brake system flush every two years in order to help prevent this problem.
