Brakes failed without warning. Repair shop removed the covering over brake lines and said they were rusted through. Towed to Mercedes dealership thinking it was part of recall and they said it wasn’t only the brake booster. Said nothing about rusted through brake lines! Someone’s going to get seriously injured driving not knowing their brake lines are rusted through.

The car brakes suddenly by itself just after the ESB/ABS lights come on along with an exclamation point (!). This has happened randomly at least 4 times since we purchased the car.
