| Description of the problem | I was driving my mercedes on the highway when the light flashed on for the brakes saying braking power reduced. All of a sudden i could not stop my car, i was so scared on the highway i really thought i was going to die. Me and my boyfriend was in the car at the time. Somehow i got over to the far lane towards the guardrail where no one normally drives and then i rolled the car until it slowed all the way down and then i forced it into park. Smh there should really be something about this. Now i fear to drive my car ever again. |
