E-500 6-cyl

  • 168,000 miles
While driving at about 25 mph making a left turn, the brake pedal went to the floor and I completely lost the brake function, the car would not slow down. I steered the car to the right shoulder and it took it another 200 to 300 feet to stop. The dash turned red and had a warning stop reduced braking power depress brake fully sbc warning I shut the car off and restarted it, everything went back to normal. I checked the fluid level, brake pads, leaks...but found none.
