ml320, my BAS/ESP light came on and they ran a diagnostic and got code for yaw rate sensor. What the heck is this? They said "need new yaw rate sensor at minimum, at some point in future\may need steering angle sensor, had intermittent code before for this sensor". What does this mean? Should I go ahead and have it replaced? I have little confadence in this shop.
Also the cat. converter has now gone bad, is this maybe related? Oh and one more bit of info, this all started when one day my battery was dead, I jumped it, took it in and test said it was bad. They replaced the battery and when I drove away the BAS/ESP light was on, and now the converter is bad

I bought the car used and it had been in Florida until now. The shop here in VA said they thougt that because of the salt air it may have happened. The car has 91K on it so not sure that would be covered.
On the other issue of BAS/ESP, I was told to try the same thing, so it would reset the somethinaruther, and it works fine until I turn off the car. But when I go to turn it on again it is on,(but only some of the time).
