Description of the problem	After picking up the kids from the neighborhood school and driving home it happened, as i approached a stop sign and depressed the brake pedal it went all the way to the floor with no resistance and no stopping power, red lights came on the the dash telling me i had a brake failure and braking power is reduced!. What a scary moment! I was able to let the car roll to a stop safely. After turning the car off and then on again all braking power was restored and was once again functional. Took the car into a mercedes benz dealer the next day and was told the entire brake operating unit needs to be replaced at a cost of $2,200. 00. I find this very hard to accept that the brake system on a properly maintained vehicle can suddenly fail without warning and resets itself after a restart. The dealer offered no other explanation, but things happen. *tt
