ML430 Technical Help

[1highhog]

Hello to all! I'm new on here, but need alot of help if someone has suffered through the same issues I've had with my ML430. The first problem I have is a popping noise that seems to be coming from the drivers side, perhaps underneath, I'm not really sure. Then just the other day, I had 2 lights come on, one is a (BAS ESP) light, the other one is a (ETS) light. Both of these have somthing to do with the braking system. I've looked at the brakes, they seem to be in fine shape. Also, when these lights came on, I noticed that my overhead fuel mileage indicator was no longer functioning.
I called the local MB dealership, which is 60 miles away, only to be told I would be put on a waiting list, which is now at 2 weeks. I want to know if this vehicle is safe to drive, I can't go 2 weeks without it. If someone knows anything about this, please help.
