I was driving the car and when applied the breaks noticed that they weren-??t working. It was close to be an accident with the car in front of mine, but I was able to maneuver the car. When I stopped noticed that the break fluid container was almost empty and the fluid was leaking under the car. I brought the car to the Mercedes Benz dealership and they said that it was -??normal corrosion-?? that caused the break lines to be totally rusted and leak. They also mentioned that -??it was pretty common to happen in those cars during summer-??. I had no option but to pay several thousand dollars for the replacement of the rusted and corroded brake lines. It is clear that Mercedes Benz doesn-??t care about the safety of the passengers, and even worse, profiting from a defect in the materials that they use for the brake lines. Someone should make Mercedes-Benz recall the cars affected and replace the defective brake lines, free of cost for the owner. Passenger-??s safety is not a business!
