Description of the problem	Have vehicle for 4 months and was unaware of mercedez benz extended 10 year warranty, before this incident. While driving approximately 30 miles per hour the instrument cluster flashed red with "decreased braking power, stop driving and visit workshop". Unfortunately, i was travelling at mid day in traffic and could not stop the car, without pressing the brake with both feet to the floor, and i still managed to blow through 2 red lights, but not kill anybody.(it took over 3 blocks to stop.) this is obviously a recall issue, as 750 tsb's have been filed against this model. If owners choose not repair this malfunction(5000 cost)... People will die,,,kids will die. Brake systems such as these have been eliminated by car makers because of the dangers. Ntsb, it is your responsibility to realize that these "dangerous" vehicles are on the road and demand mb extends the warranty until all "dangerous" cars are on the road and need repairs. These vehicles are no different than a loaded gun.. Just waiting to kill someone. I hope to hear some action quickly... Yours truly, a guy driving a loaded weapon.
