Abs & brake icons were lit on the dashboard when i started the car on 9/13/2018. mechanic found abs module to be full of water, which corroded connector pins in the abs module, causing the abs system to fail. lack of abs could result in damage to car or personal injury.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 smart fortwo. the contact observed an abnormal odor coming from the vehicle without warning. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the shocks were leaking fluid onto the brakes and that the brakes and shocks needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 52,000...updated 02/09/17 *bf *cn

At 45 mph, the abs light and the traction control light turn on. this deactivates both the abs and traction control systems making the car unsafe to drive at over 45 mph. a mechanic diagnosed the problem being crack in the abs sensor ring. although a known issue, mercedes benz, the manufacturer of the smart car, denies any issues with it. the repair that they performed was a replacement of the right axle shaft since they do not import a replacement sensor ring. this is a repair in excess of $700 for a $35 part. that part should not fail within such a relatively low mileage. choosing not to repair could lead to a serious accident at speeds in excess of only 45 mph. *js
