general problems of the 2003 Mercedes Benz E500

I own a 2003 Mercedes Benz E500. My wife was driving the car about 25 mph . She put on the brakes and a bright red signal appeared on the screen and the car brakes failed . To avoid an accident ,my wife drove into an uphill parking lot where the car came to a stop without the cars brakes help . After we calmed down ,we called aaa and had the car towed to rizzoli's mecedez repair 702 west grand Ave grover beach CA 93433 phone number 805-481-0832 which was closed and the car was left in their parking lot with the keys left in the drop box . This was the closest mercedes repair place we could think of in our state of shock. We were notified that sbc brake system had failed and it would cost $3453. 06 to repair . I found out that there had been a 25 year extended warranty on the VIN number in question . After the repair I still noticed some cushioning of the brake pedal but the car brakes did work . Rizzolis is not an authorized repair shop . I called the authorized dealer where I purchased the car alphonos ,1423 calle joaquin,san luis obispo ,93405 ,805 4382701 prior to get the cars brakes repaired and the representative I talked to said they do not have a recall listed on the vehicle and could not help me . I am seeking reembersement of the cost of repair since the dealer I bought the car from would not honor repairing the vehicle on the 25 year warrantee .
