Intermittent problem with brakes. Pedal has excessive travel and stopping distance is noticeably increased. It seems to fit into the problems listed with two recalls on 2003 E500. 04v296000 and 05v133000. Contacted mercedes and was told never heard of this condition, then I gave them the recall numbers. I was then put on hold for approx. 20 minutes and then was told no open recall on this unit,and I should contact dealer for assistance. Contacted dealer and was told to contact mercedes hotline because they could not help. Contacted mercedes again to be told to see dealer. I also asked if it could be checked or tested to see if the problem was what the recall listed and if so possibly get some assistance from mercedes. And if it was a different problem then charge me. The dealer said no,and if I was not satisfied with their answer maybe I should see an attorney. Certainly seems like a lot of trouble to see if this problem is related to their recall.
