Description of the problem	I was exiting the interstate freeway onto a frontage road (travelling ~45mph). A warning message said that there was a failure of the braking system. I tried to slow down, but had lost all braking power. Fortunately, there was no one in front of me. The vehicle automatically downshifted to a low gear which helped slow me down. I came to a stop in a safe location, put the car in park, and turned off the engine. When i re-started the car, normal braking function returned. The mercedes dealership said that this was a normal issue with this model. A hydraulic unit of some sort needed replacing.
