Description of the problem	I came out of the shopping maul into the parking lot, entered into the car and put it in reverse. Then l pressed the brakes to stop the vehicle and go forward, but the brakes would not stop the car. The car kept going backwards and l kept pressing the brakes without any result. The car smashed into 4 parked vehicles and still did not stop. I attempted to put it in neutral to stop it or slow it down, but finally the car started going forward and l pressed the brakes multiple times, but the car still did not respond and kept going forward and skidding and eventually smashed into a tree and stopped. L have contacted mercedes, but they are yet act. The car power steering went out 3 days before the accident and was just replaced the day before the accident. There have been several complaints with this model and recall on the power steering. I have incurred over 35,000 dollar damage to the vehicle and other vehicles and need mercedes benz to step up and figure out why the car kept accelerating despite my applying the brakes.
