Strange one happened last week on my W210 280 4-Matic, just a few weeks before its replacement arrives. Going uphill in the snow, a truck stopped in front of me. I stopped. The truck started again. I tried to start. All sorts of error messages, warning triangle lighting, plus an ABS message. Car totally uncontrollable, as in fact the left rear wheel ABS had locked up. Called MB. Of course, when they arrived 2 hours later, there was no longer any problem, but a diagnostic readout said there had been an ABS failure of some sort. Had the car towed to the garage on Thursday. They have been totally unable to reproduce any fault, while recognizing that there has indeed been an ABS failure of some description. Drove in the snow all weekend without any problem.

Anyone seen this before? I'm a little bit worried to be driving a car where I feel there is a risk a wheel can lock up at any second.
