| Description of the problem | Almost exactly one year after dealership "fixed" the same problem, the brakes on the vehicle totally failed while driving. After the initial failure in 2013, i was assured that this problem was fixed. I was very reticent, but drove the care again. However, based on the second total failure of the braking system, the vehicle is worthless. Mercedes benz says they have fixed the problem, but it is the same assurance they gave me the first time. The car is 2007 sl 550 with approximately 60k miles. |
