Model Year	2005
File date	02/03/10
Component	SERVICE BRAKES
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	While driving at approximately 50 mph, the sbs system warning light came on along with loss of most braking ability. I managed to stop the car, turn around and return about 8 miles to my home in "limp home" mode. There was no warning whatsoever. I then call the mb dealership which sent a truck to pick up the car. The sbs hydraulic unit had failed and was replaced under extended warranty at no cost. While i am not complaining about the cost (none), the failure could have caused an accident with the loss of brake ability. I take road trips to the colorado mountains and if this had happened there, i could have suffered a fatal injury. This system is defectively engineered and should be replaced on all mercedes cars so equipped.
