when i tried to apply brakes on Nov 27th, 2022, the brakes were not applying for 4-5 seconds inspite of pushing the brake few times. After 5 seconds the brakes were working. to avoid collision i had to change the lane quicKly and luckily there was no one in the next lane. Please note that i have changed the front and rear brake pads few months back (Aug 2022). As my brake pads are new, i assume there is some fault in the overall brake system which I would like to bring notice to the United States transportation Department and to the Mercedes company. Please advise on how to proceed from here to ensure my car is safe.

After 20K of driving, the brake pad on the caliper of the left rear wheel went metal to metal. There was no indication on the dash to let me know that the left rear inner pads were low and then that the pad and rotor were metal to metal, because there is no indicator sensor on the left side only on the right rear.

While driving on a local road close to my house, the vehicle started showing lot of alerts and suddenly the parking brake was engaged automatically which stopped the vehicle. Luckily, the vehicle speed was very slow as it was evening and raining with good amount of traffic on the local Ford road. This was very scary, ad thinking if this had happened on a highway, this would have been life threatening. The vehicle was towed to the mb ann arbor mi dealership which it was worked on for almost a month. The issue was confirmed, please see attached, but the dealership does not seem to take this issue seriously as many other issues were determined and still begging dealership to fix the issues.
