Go to this site and file a complaint. Home | Safercar -- National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
Several owners state the system quit abruptly with no prior warning messages. Did they service their brakes as recommended? No way for us to know.

Could not, or, would not? I know you wrote "could not do it," but my next question would have been; why?

I'm with you here. I think we need to spend some time with our respective MB dealer's service advisors to try and find the accurate answers on this one. There's conflicting information here on thread - then there's a lot of information being alleged as fact too. Enough so, to go beyond this thread to the MB dealers to try to ascertain the actual facts regards these systems, from their actual source.
