2005 cls 500, 1977 w123 coupe
SBC

what is the latest best way to fix this problem?
I have 140,000km on the odometer and brakes fails intermittently without warning, I simply shut off the car and restart and the SBC works again but it keeps failing
any suggestion will be appreciated!

Call the dealer with your VIN. You may still be eligible to have the unit replaced under warranty. Just had mine in for that and they also replaced the whole fuel tank system.

I called them and they asked me to bring the car in for checkup, they diagnosed it and found a problem with the electronic part of the SBC unfortunately to my surprise they said it can not be repaired under warranty because my CLS is too old being a MY 2005, they quoted me $5,000 for the repair so I left, I have been sending emails to Mercedes Benz Germany but they have not been responding to any of my emails, so now I have my car parked at home that I can not use, it is actually very disappointing that a big and respectable brand like Mercedes would do this, not responding to any emails.

2005 = 2006 USA, SBC warranty extended to 25 years see if your market will offer goodwill assistance by referencing MBUSA warranty.

Thank you so much, I will send emails tonight, I will copy both mercedes Germany and the mercedes dealership here, honestly this is so unfair to make customers pay for something that is known to fail it was clear that this system had a flaw
