Brakes went out? Do you mean you press on the brake pedal and it goes all the way to the floor but the car doesn’t stop?

You are not to take it anywhere or go anywhere without brakes . Just have it towed to what ever place you choose .

Luxury cars are usually capable of displaying a number of warning messages; Brake Pad Wear, Brake Fluid Level Low, ABS System Malfunction, etc. You need to understand the warning message to know if the vehicle should be towed to a repair shop.
