Description of the problem	I have a 2006 mercedes benz sl500. I have had numerous issues with the vehicle which were all covered under warranty. On 12-6-2009 i had a total brake failure. Luckily i was in a stopped position and the car started moving forward. The brake pedal was full pressed to the floor and the emergency brake did not work. Mercedes benz of greenway plaza(houston) 713-986-6600 did the repair. I was advised by kevin graves(my service advisor) that there was a recall and all repairs were covered under a extended recall warranty. On 1-7-2010 the exact same issue occurred, only this time i was moving in a elevated parking garage. I immediately down shifted to first and stood on the brake and pushed the emergency brake. Luckily again i was moving a very low speed and coasted to a stop. Mercedes benz of greenway again did the repairs and advised that it was another defective hydraulic brake pump. I have no confidence in this vehicle. After doing research there are a number of blogs and other web pages where people have had these issues. I have advised mb greenway plaza that i want out of this car and i am getting a total run around on pricing from there sales staff. This is not a lemon law issue this is a safety issue. I have also notified mb corporate in new jersey. 1-800-367-6372
