I have had recent problems with our 96 E300D.. about 4 months ago turned into a driveway and the car shut of with the ETS light lit. Parked it, and it started right away with no problems until two days ago. Again, made a right hand turn and it shut off with the ETS warning light. Coasted into a parking stall and it started right away. Yesterday.. coming down the freeway, doing 75, the car lost power momentarily, the ETS light flashed on/off and we continued driving with no problems. One of the above post mentioned a lateral sensor, which would make total sense with the first two occurrences, but not the last. I'll start with the lateral sensor first and then see if I get a repeat of the freeway incident. Now, where is the lateral sensor? I'll do some homework in the meantime to see if I can figure it out.
Thanks,
Matt
