Description of the problem	On january 29, 2016, i was going towards the exit of my development but before i got to a main road (i was traveling slowly about 20 mph and driving straight) i was using brakes and red message popped up on the dash board stating reduced brake power and to depress bake pedal which i did but the brakes failed and the car kept moving so i let the car move into the curb where there was snow. I turned car off and turned back on and the warning message was no longer displayed and car functioned properly. I called mb dealer and told them what happened and i did research before calling and learned the subcommittee pump is the problem and there is a ten year unlimited mileage warranty on the matter. Even though the car is a 2006, the dealership said the warranty expired at the end of 2015 because the car was actually manufactured in 2005 (i bought it used in 2008). Since it was almost 1 month out of warranty the dealership said it would be 3000-4000 to replace sac system. This car should be recalled most definitely as i was in a panic when the brakes failed. I was just fortunate that it did not occur in traffic. Please make mb correct this problem as it obviously extremely dangerous and people could be injured if not worse.
