Description of the problem	While traveling along a 2 lane highway in a snow storm, the sbc pump failed and caused the abs to fail as well as the brakes to barely work. The subsequent skid forced a very close call with a fully laden logging truck, and could have easily been a fatal accident were it not for good luck. Under nhtsa recall 2004 050014, and recall campaign 2005070007 apr06 by mercedes, the sbc pump failure is a known safety issue. The local mercedes benz has offered to sell me a new one for $1700 as mercedes benz usa is not willing to replace this failed part under the recall as they only offer a 10 year window. Isn't a safety recall a recall? Brakes are a vital aspect of safety...
