VEHICLE IS NEW TO ME AS OF JAN 6, 2026. THE BRAKES ARE SPONGY, BUT WHEN THE CAR SHIFTS FROM D3 TO D2, IT RELEASES AND UNLESS I PRESS THE BRAKE AGAIN IT WOULD GLIDE INTO AN INTERSECTION OR INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THIS HAS BEEN LOOKED AT BY MY SELLING DEALER THREE TIMES AND ANOTHER DEALER ONE MORE TIME. BRAKES HAVE BEEN FLUSHED, ELECTRONIC BOX HAS BEEN EXCHANGED BUT THE PROBLEM STILL IS PRESENT. I AM CONCERNED THAT I MAY HAVE A MAJOR BRAKE FAILURE. I FOUND OUT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY SIMILAR REPORTS OF THIS CONDITION BUT MERCEDES IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL ME.
