At about 40,000 miles the parking brake began sticking and was difficult to release. This was replaced under warranty. It began happening again. I spoke to the Mercedes usa and they said I would have O pay to replace it. I believe this part is defective.

I was driving on the highway at about 60mph in the left hand lane. I was about 7 car lengths from the car in front of me as I had just moved into that lane to move to the ramp to move off the highway. The vehicle in front of me braked, and was going at a lower speed. I tried to slow down and my car did not slow. I pressed my brake to the floor and my car still would not stop. I was able to pull to the shoulder and the car finally came to a stop close to the ramp, I thought it was an isolated incident except I saw on a website, others had the same problem.

Brake failure. Driving vehicle on highway with a 75 mph speed limit. When I attempted to brake vehicle, I found I did not have any power brakes. Brake pedal was hard. Pressing the brake pedal as hard as I could did not do anything to slow down my vehicle. I did not have any ability to slow down vehicle. To avoid a collision, I put the vehicle in neutral, and down shifted gears. No alarms, or visual indicators came on to indicate a problem existed. Car towed to the Mercedes Benz authorized dealership I have always had my car serviced at. Brake box sitting behind the motor had broke. No sensirs or fault us associated with the brake box. Visual check of the brake box is. It on any maintenance checklist.
