Viano Diesel Brake Pedal Feedback

I'm getting unusual feedback from the brake pedal in my Mercedes Viano 2013 diesel. It has 103924 km on the clock. I think the metal brakes are worn. Could undervoltage be affecting the brake system?

Whoa, that sounds familiar! I drive a Vito, and I had something similar happen a while back. My disc brakes felt super weird, almost like they were vibrating. Have you checked your brake pads and brake rotors?

Thanks for your response. Could you explain the 'weird' feeling you experienced? Was it consistent, or did it occur under specific conditions?

Yeah, sure thing. It was mostly when I was slowing down from higher speeds. It felt like the ABS was kicking in early, but not quite. Honestly, I'd get it checked. It turned out I had a bunch of stuff going on with my brakes.

I appreciate your input. I took it to a workshop, and it seems undervoltage was indeed affecting the ABS, leading to premature wear of the disc brakes and brake pads. The repair was 240€.
