I was driving a 2006 SL65. The car had an electronic braking system. thus, the brake pedal was connected to a sensor which was connected to a pump which turned the brakes on. Something failed. There were no brakes! luckily I did not crash despite being on a chicago city street. I was probably on the only street where I would not have crashed. There was a prior recall on older sls for this problem that was supposedly remedied but this should be a never event. this should be investigated. I got rid of the car immediately and the dealer bought it back, but the car was sold again. It IS a low volume car and there might be crashes or fatalities. *tr
