166 14 GL450 Gooey brakes

I have a 166 Since 09/01/2016. Brakes are so soft ,that I am becoming very unsure of the cars ability to stop ,scares me in traffic.
Anyone had this problem?

Car has 32,500 CPO until 2018

GL350 Bluetec and GLS580
Have you had the brake fluid changed? Don't they want it changed every 20k miles on this vehicle?

If this came up after your 40K service - they may have screwed up the brake fluid change..

you should raise this to your SA when you do your brake flush. It might be due to failing caliper as well.
