Smart ED Brake problems by year

Loss of most of the braking effectiveness, resulting in a collision. This vehicle had a Virginia State inspection performed the previous month and no brake failure dash lights were noted before the collision.

The brake booster malfunctioned while I was driving

Three weeks after got the car from carmax check engine light went on and the after a smell of burning oil every time after driving somewhere. Cruise control failure about a month and half after getting the car, spring shocks in bad condition. Front windshield replaced looks like by the writing on the upper corner driver side (pieces of glass found on the car). Cargo cover missing and no mats.

Tl* the contact owned a 2016 smart fortwo. The contact stated that while driving at 25 mph and uncertain if whether he depressed the accelerator pedal or the brake pedal; the vehicle accelerated off the road and hit a tree. The air bags deployed upon impact. The contact sustained minor bruising at a result of the accident but did not seek medical treatment. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was totaled and remained at the scene of accident. The dealer nor the manufacturer nor the dealer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be towed from the scene of the accident. The possible failure mileage was 50,000.

At 65mph on a freeway traveling straight when I had to brake for traffic I experienced a complete brake system failure. The vehicle swerved severely to the left and right entering both lanes luckily their was nobody was in those lanes it would have been an accident. There was such a severe direction change I thought the vehicle was going to roll over. The vehicle was towed to westminster mercedes-benz denver co dealer where they reported to me that the brake sensor,master cylinder and brake booster have to be replaced. It was a very uncontrolled stop!!!

While driving, brakes failed, brake pedal became impossible to depress with no brake response, and a warning light indicating a brake fault came on. Fortunately, driver was on a slow moving city street and was able to pull over and stop using hand brake for an emergency stop. Other electrical related glitches in this car can be 'reset' by turning off car and restarting. Driver tried that, error cleared, driver proceeded carefully, turning onto a quiet residential street. Brakes worked for two blocks, but on 3rd...

On steep uphills and when you have come to a stop because of a red light or a stop sign, the engine seems to be too weak to push the transmission forward and actually the car my roll back and brakes go in a lock mode which creates a big safety issue.

The "brake malf" light went on as I was driving down hill, coming home from work. I pulled to a side street. The break would work if you pressed really hard. I had the car towed to the smart dealership.The dealership informed me that water leaked from underneath the passenger seat and corroded the fuse box connected to the breaks. I asked how water could get there he said from a spill. I informed him that nothing has spilled on that side and asked if it could be from the rain or leaking windshield wiper fluid. He...
