The safety component that is covered under the SBC warranty is the entire brake master cylinder specifically the part that is bad is the brake pedal position sensor The car is undriveable without it, they have a 25-year warranty on it yet they have no parts and no way to fix it which is obviously unacceptable they've also refused to provide a loaner car until they come up with a way to fix my car leaving me on the side of the road with nothing to drive it's unacceptable! My safety and everybody's safety on the road is affected by this because the car won't stop if you drive it and you have really strong legs you can get it to slow down and eventually stop it's completely unsafe The brake pedal cannot tell the computer where it is in its travel which means the system doesn't know that you're applying the brakes which don't work. Yes the problem has been confirmed by two shops one of which has a snap-on scanner which I can attach the scan to showing the issue and currently the car is s

KNOCKING NOISE BEGIN TO APPEAR BEHIND THE DRIVER'S SEAT. AT FIRST, BELIEVED TO BE LOOSE ITEM IN THE TRUNK BUT CHECK AND CAN'T FIND. LOOKED AT FORUM AND FOUND THAT MANY 2003/2004 MERCEDES BENZ SL CLASS HAS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH DEFECTIVE GAS TANK BAFFLE. WHENEVER I BRAKE OR ACCELERATE, I HEAR THE KNOCKING NOISE, WHICH ALSO KNOCKS TWO OR THREE TIMES EVERYTIME I BRAKE OR ACCELERATE. IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS HANGING FROM A STRING OR FLOATING AND THEN BECAUSE OF INERTIA IT KNOCKS AGAINST THE SIDE OF A CONTAINER. THE HAZARD THAT I FEAR IS THAT THE FLOATING MATERIAL IN THE GAS TANK KNOCKS AGAINST THE TANK AND CREATE A SPARK THAT CAN IGNITE THE TANK CAUSING A FIRE. THE KNOCKING NOISE HAPPENS EVERYTIME THE CAR JERKS FROM BRAKING OR ACCELERATING. *TR
