Luxury Mercedes Didn't Brake - Police Find Wooden Brake Blocks - Mercedes GLE 400's Wooden Brakes Cause Alarm in Ludwigsburg
A Mercedes GLE 400, recently purchased online, caused alarm in Ludwigsburg. During its first test drive, the brakes failed completely, leading to a police investigation that revealed a shocking modification. The driver, luckily unharmed, called a tow truck and police after the brakes gave out. Investigations uncovered wooden brake pads, meticulously cut and marked 'Brembo', a well-known brake manufacturer. Police seized the wooden pads and warned against DIY brake repairs. The former owner now faces charges for the dangerous modification. It's unclear how the wooden pads, which left scorched wood dust on the rims, ended up in the vehicle. The Mercedes GLE 400, bought through an online auction, is now evidence in a police investigation. The unusual brake pads highlight the importance of professional vehicle maintenance and the dangers of unregulated online sales.
