2008 e550 No brakes after brake job
Replaced front pads, rotors and sensor on 08 e550 and now I have not brakes, soft pedal and you can even shift from park. Can anybody help and know anything about. To me it looks like brake master cylinder died. Help

Replaced disc/pads correctly, actuated the pedal several times until pressure built up and maintained in the system, fluid level is fine as confirmed when bleeding, and you were having no trouble before replacement. Time to have someone check your work/pull fault codes if need be.
