Description of the problem	I was entering onto a highway (100). At the point of the highway i was entering(from cty rd 81) it opens the highway to a 3rd lane on the right side of the highway. At the same place it opens the highway up, there is an immediate exit(42nd ave). As i am accelerating to highway speeds, just prior to the new lane availability that drivers must enter to get off on 42nd, my car starts chiming and there's a red warning on my dash that states "stop, reduced braking power. Depress brake fully." or something quite similar. There is no shoulder, i'm going like 10 mph, terrified. People are honking and trying to get over to get off on 42nd ave in a lane where i'm going 10 mph and they were at a speed of approx 60 mph(posted hwy speed). As i limp my car past this exit to a shoulder i then attempt to brake and have no braking power. I eventually rolled to a stop. Turned my vehicle off to determine my next move. I turned the vehicle back on to see what exactly the warning light said- there was nothing there. Tested my brakes a little on the shoulder and they were fine. I was able to drive the rest of the way to my destinations without any problems. This has since occurred a couple more times. Through a trip to the mechanic and thorough research it is determined the problem lies in my sensotronic brake pump. This is a pump that mercedes warrantied for 10 years due to this issue. This will occur to all other drivers of this vehicle that haven't had this part replaced. I never knew of the safety issue with the braking system until this problem occurred. I would have replaced it years ago (under warranty at the time of replacement). My children's lives, my life, and the lives of all the drivers on the highway that morning were placed at severe risk. This should have been recalled and still should for all of the other unsuspecting drivers- for their safety and others on the road.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
