I have a 2003 e320 mercedes benz with sbc brake system. The company has admitted having issues with the system and has extended the warranty to 25 years on the sbc pump. My car has on about 4 or 5 incidents gave me a red warning on my dash to stop the vehicle and see workshop. Each time this happens my braking ability is significantly reduced to the point of needing a lot of distance to stop. I have had the brake system flushed, that worked for a while. Around january of 2018 the dealer updated some kind of software package. January 2020 the brake issue happen again. I am being told that unless a certain default code is indicated they cannot replace the pump. I told mercedes customer service that how will i know that the next time my braking is reduced will be my last time that will cause death or property damage to other drivers or my self before this default code comes up, a code no one will tell me what it is. I was told that they understood my concern but until this default code comes up they cannot replace the sbc . I find that statement to be not consider of life and property damage on our national highways
