Total brake failure
Anybody had total brake failure? My GLE 500e with 43,000 km on the clock has total brake failure a week after a B service. Pedal went to the floor. Dealer has had the car for a month and denies there is anything wrong with it. Would appreciate any thoughts.

Did you ask them to tighten the brake bleed screws after replacing the brake fluid?

Car is 2016. They keep stating brake failure is impossible despite the tow truck driver confirming. They have taken apart the brakes and said nothing is wrong. As to the bleed they say if that were the case it would have happened sooner than a week after service. I have never had an issue with this car up until now, but I don’t have the confidence to take it back from the dealer. If this incident happened at speed on the highway I likely would not be writing this message. Would just like to get to the bottom of it, be assured it is repaired and move on.
