2014 E350 Mercedes sedan will not start

A few weeks ago my car started making a whining sound, then a malfunction light will come on "release emergency brakes". I released the brake and it will stop but it eventually started back whining.. I noticed for 4 days straight, my crank was turning over very slowly when I tried to start the car. 2 days ago, it wouldn't start. I put a new battery in my key but it wouldn't start. This technician changed the brake light switch but it still wouldn't start. I don't want to keep throwing money at this car. Do I need a starter, crank sensor etc.Can someone please help me!!

First would be is to start with a good charged battery. Possible a pulley or alternator was causing the noise and may be seized.

I would also suggest you post your question in the W212 section of this forum. That's the section where the participants own the same car you own and they'll be more than glad to help you as someone there might've had the same problem you're now experiencing. This new members section is just for introductions.

Go back to the main forums page that lists all of the various models individually and keep scrolling down that page until you find W212. Click on that specific forum section and ask away.
