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

I had the same problem,after brake job,you need to use a vacuum bleeder,or you will not get the air out from the brake system,you cant get it out of park,cause the brake dont work,i had also that happening to me!.nothing is broken in your brakesystem,and i guess you dont used a vakuum bleeder

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.
