The electronics are certainly well intended and designed to keep the vehicle in control. This said, I’m a little wary about the system mis-firing, as was the case for me recently when, for no reason, my ML decided to grab the right brake(s), killed speed, and tried to put me in the next lane, which had a car in it, while on the freeway! Talk about intrusive!

Sounds like a bad sensor. I had similar problems at low speed.

A new sensor fixed it.

Thanks, Pete,

The incident is one of many oddities “Casper” my ML has experienced recently. The others include the intermittent activation of the ETS/ABS and BAS lights, a puddle of water appearing on the floor on the passenger foot well (probably the root cause of some of the problems), the rear wiper failing to work intermittently, and along with that the ! light in the dash coming on. Plus, of course the aforementioned spontaneous triggering of the right brakes.

The ETS/ABS and BAS lights coming on and the ! light coming on and the right brakes triggering are all the symptoms that I had when I had a bad sensor.

The explanation for the wiper and the puddle of water must be:

Seattle.
