Description of the problem	Mercedes benz placed faulty and defective braking systems including a defective sbc hydraulic unit on all of their mercedes benz e500 model vehicles. Mercedes is aware of this faulty and defective party that could cause serious bodily injury to occupants at the time of failure. Mercedes benz failed to issue a recall for this faulty brake system and instead extended the brake system warranty for 10 years. However, mercedes never notified any owners of this defective product, therefore, never actually fixed or replaced this defective part. Owner had no knowledge of the defect, were not notified or contacted and received absolutely no communication from mercedes or its dealerships regarding this defect. You only learn of the defect once it fails! Upon failure, mercedes is now refusing to take responsibility for this defective product of which they, their company, dealerships and franchises, and certified repair shops have admitted to have knowingly sold cars with this defect and have all failed to provide communications and/or disclosures of any kind to its customers. I have personally contacted mercedes about this defect and am looking to pursuing legal and civil action against them for circumventing the federal safety recall laws to the detriment of its consumers and the general public. Mercedes is in violation of federal law and criminal and civil penalties should ensue. Myself and other similarly situated consumers should be made whole and mercedes should take care of all expenses incurred for this repair. My vehicle failed while driving on a business interstate highway-highway 75 south in atlanta, ga. The vehicle was in motion and began to abruptly come to a stop with warning lights flashing and car disabled itself. Once disabled in the road, the gears would not move and car could not be put back into motion. The consumer declined the "goodwill" offer stating it does not exhibit goodwill. *js
