E63 Break Problem--Anyone have advice?

Two Ques:

1-Are there adjustments which can be made to make the break pedal FIRM and prevent the pedal from reaching close to the floor when applied. And reduce any play in break pedal before it grabs

2-If breaks are applied as far as I can press and then I let up EVER SO SLIGHTLY just as brakes BEGIN to grab (foot still on pedal) I hear and feel a rumbling sound and vibration which appears to come from the front. This sometimes happens when I'm coming to a gradual stop.

Very starnge. Advice on what it could be or what to check greatly appreciated. Thanks

I would take it back to the dealer...and tell him what your conditions are...and let him worry about the brakes.......its still under warranty!

To me..it does not sound normal.......I would insist that he look at it again...and maybe get MBUSA involved in it.
