The amber EPB warning light has recurred multiple times, including most recently after a $3,000 dealership repair intended to correct this exact fault.  Timeline:  1.Following a brake pad replacement, the vehicle experienced an EPB failure, brake fluid loss, and a gear shift interlock lockout — leaving the vehicle inoperable. 2.The vehicle was taken to a Mercedes-Benz dealership for repair. This resulted in a dispute over unauthorized work performed and a request for goodwill coverage tied to a known Mercedes-Benz EPB recall. 3.I paid approximately $3,000 to the dealership for a repair specifically to resolve the EPB fault. 4.Approximately a few weeks after this paid repair, the same amber EPB warning light returned, indicating the underlying defect was not resolved.  Safety Concern: The EPB is a safety-critical system. Repeated, unresolved failure of this system — including a prior incident involving brake fluid loss and a gear shift interlock lockout that left the vehicle inoperable — represents a real risk of parking brake failure and loss of vehicle control/immobilization in normal use.  Additional Notes:  •This defect appears connected to a known Mercedes-Benz EPB recall. •I have photo documentation of the recurring warning light (dated) and the dealership repair invoice for the $3,000 repair. •I have an open case with Mercedes-Benz Customer Assistance regarding this issue.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2022","productMake":"MERCEDES-BENZ","productModel":"GLC 300","manufacturer":"Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC"}]}]}
