| Description of the problem | The brakes on this car failed without warning while traveling on interstate at high speed. I have contacted mercedes and they have agreed to pay the cost of the spc brake unit under warranty; however, the costs of labor is very high and i have to cover it. I am a retired elderly combat disabled war veteran with limited funds and believe mercedes should recall these dangerous vehicles and and cover the entire costs. The vehicle is currently under repair at fields mercedes in lakeland florida |
