2013 Mercedes-Benz C-Class 4 DR RWD

The contact owns a 2013 Mercedes Benz C300. The contact stated that while driving at highway speeds and depressing the brake pedal, the rear of the vehicle started fishtailing with extreme vibration making the vehicle very unstable. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who discovered the rear passenger’s side subframe was severely rusted causing a section near the rear passenger’s side wheel detach. The cause of the corrosion was not determined. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer were not yet notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 107,500.

MB have 51 000 miles at 1300 rpm acceleration getting rattling noise, just started two week.

The subframe rotted out causing the lower control arm bracket to detach from the frame. This has caused loss of control of the back left wheel and causes the car to shake and swerve when braking. This exact issue has led to recall in Canada. First noticed due to a squeaking and clunking sound. Later on the same day, I pressed the brakes on the highway and felt the described shaking/swerving. My mechanic has let me know that the car is now un-drivable due to the safety issue this causes. One of the rear subframe’s main purposes is to absorb and disperse impact. Not only have I entirely lost control of the rear left, but any crash that this could have led to could have been significantly more dangerous due to the failed subframe. As stated prior, this exact issue has led to recall in Canada and I believe that it should lead to recall in the USA as well.

over the last week I noticed a strong gas smell outside the car as I walk around in the back I check the gas cap and it seals normally and stronger than the smell that comes out of the gas cap

Vehicle subframe has rusted through and parts of left rear suspension components are free, and one is about to poke a hole in the fuel tank. The right side is about to do the same. Everyone’s safety is at high risk with this problem. The car abruptly pulls to the left when applying the brakes as well as causing the car to shimmy on the interstate. I took it to my mechanic who to.d me what has happened, and I had it towed to the Mercedes dealership who confirmed the problem. When you search the internet you find a highly alarming number of people who have this same problem on 2009-2014 C300 models please do something before someone gets killed.

Mercedes C300 2013, bought used in 2014 at approximately 7300 miles on the odometer, have always done the repairs and maintenances at Mercedes dealerships. In either late 2019 or early 2020 at around $50,000 miles on the odometer, the dealer informed me that the "rear sub frame is rusted and has hole in it" and recommend for the replacement of the rear sub frame, they even refused to pass my state safety inspection because of it. In October 2021 at approximately 67,000 miles on the odometer, it was determined that it was the time for the sub frame to get replaced at a price tag of more than $8000. Upon calling Mercedes corporate customer service and complaining to the dealership, Mercedes is willing to offer so called "Good Will Assistance" but I am still responsible for more than 50% of the cost. Mercedes dealership advised me this is a common issue for this type of vehicle and my case is not a single case. This is a great safety concern and driving this vehicle has been a uncomfortable experience. I strongly believe the sub frame issue is a manufacturer defect and there should be recall issued on it. Thanks.

The contact owns a 2013 Mercedes-Benz C300. The contact stated while driving 75 MPH, she started to hear an abnormal sound. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact continued driving to her residence however while depressing the brake pedal the vehicle was pulling to the left. The contact continued driving to her residence. The contact towed the vehicle to the local dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the driver’s side rear axle and brake line was corroded and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 99,800.

During a routine maintenance inspection at the Mercedes dealer, the mechanic found the rear subframe on the left and right sides of the car is rusting. Eventually it will rust through and possibly causing the loss of the control arms and wheels. At that point the car could become uncontrollable. The issue was discussed with Mercedes Benz USA Customer Advocacy. They informed me the once a vehicle falls outside warranty repairs are at the owners expense. Although the car is 8 years old it has only 51,000 miles. This is a known issue with my model year and in fact there is a recall in Canada for this issue.

The contact's daughter owns a 2013 Mercedes-Benz C300. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, his daughter lost control of the vehicle upon the depression of the brake pedal. The contact stated that the vehicle would veer off the road without warning. His daughter had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic who informed her that the subframe had severe corrosion. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed his daughter that they could not offer any assistance. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.

High pressure fuel pump failure causes unsafe driving conditions

As I sat in my vehicle waiting for the traffic light. I felt a sudden hit on my head. At that moment I was confused, and thought someone had rear ended me. So like anybody would, I pulled over only to find out that the headrest on my 2013 Mercedes Benz C250 had came apart. It seems like the plastic inside tore apart from the springs causing pressure for it to deploy.

Vehicle completely shut down while traveling on interstate. Ignition switch malfunction and went dead, also steering column locked causing me to lose control of steering functions.

I was told by the Mercedes Benz service center I take my car to that the timing chain and cam adjusters failed. I have a Mercedes Benz 2013 C250, with only 58,000 miles on it. I have my car serviced on time. I was driving my car on the highway, thank God I stopped at a local drugstore and when I tried to turn my car back on, only the lights will come on. It would not start up, and I had to have my car towed to the MB Hunt Valley service center where I get my car serviced. The Service Rep told me I had to have the timing chain, camadjusters, and lower guide rails replaced costing $6000. There is a extended warranty on the camadjusters which took the price down to 3600 which is still pricey. Which makes me wonder shouldn't the timing chaing also be under extended waranty. This type of event should only happen at least after the car reaches 100,000 miles. I have called Mercedes Benz customer service and awaiting for someone to call me back to see if they can assist. Awaiting a response as of 8/2/2021. I called after getting diagnoses which was 7/30/21. I have read numerous other reports of this same exact issue happening to other people. This is a extreme risk and safety matter that needs to be addressed by Mercedes Benz as a recall. Being newer model cars, the timing chain and camshaft adjusters should not fail, and most definitely not fail at 58,000 miles. Please look into this before someone gets hurt.

The contact owns a 2013 Mercedes-Benz C300. The contact stated that the front driver’s side seat belt would not retract and was unable to lock and secure the driver. Also, the rear driver’s side seat belt ceased and was unable to pull out and lock to secure the driver’s side rear seat passenger. The rear passenger’s side seat belt failed to retract and would not secure the passenger side rear seat passenger. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000.

AFTER OWNING A CPO,FOR ABOUT5 YEARS. RECENTLY THE TILT/ MECHANISM FAILED TO OPERATE. I TOOK IT TO DEALER AND WITHOUT ANY TOOLS IN HIS HANDS HE FIXED IT.ABOUT 6MONTHS IT WORKED FINE,THEN IT STOPPED.I TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER AND THE ADVISOR THAT FIXED IT IS NO LONGER WORKING THERE,NOBODY ELSE HAD EVER HEARD OF THIS METHOD?I'M NOT DREAMING HE GAVE ME HIS CARD AFTERWARDS,SO HE DOES EXIST..

Mercedes dealership mechanic found rear subframe rusted through on 5/20/21 during oil change. Mechanic advised car is unsafe to drive, subframe can break apart while driving and cause accident. Dealership also advised this is a known issue with my model/year vehicle but currently no recall for it in the US, but there is a recall for this issue in Canada. I called Mercedes Benz USA customer care and spoke to a supervisor Benjamin who said they will not cover any repair expense for this issue.

The Contact owns a 2013 Mercedes Benz C300. The contact stated that the vehicle exhibited a knocking sound and an abnormal vibration when driving. The Contact took the vehicle to the dealer for an inspection and the Dealer found the Sub Frame was corroded and had a hole. The dealer advised that the sub-frame needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 60,0000.

WHILE PULLING INTO GARAGE, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED IN PLACE AND WOULD NOT TURN. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED A FAULTY ESL (ELECTRONIC STEERING LOCK), THE REPAIR WAS COMPLETED AT A COST TO ME OF $1,140.70. MERCEDES BENZ USA REFUSED TO REIMBURSE.

DRIVING VEHICLE NORMALLY AND TURN THE WHEEL AND HEAR CLICKING SOUND FROM AROUND STEERING WHEEL. FRONT, DRIVERS AIR BAG MALFUNCTION LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED AND HORN NOR ANY CONTROLS ON STEERING WHEEL WORK AT ALL. ERROR MESSAGE DISPLAYED "FRONT LEFT MALFUNCTION, SERVICE REQUIRED" SYMBOL FOR AIRBAG DISPLAYED. TOOK VEHICLE TO MERCEDES OF PALM BEACH DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THEIR WERE NO OPEN RECALLS ON THIS MODEL. I MENTIONED CAMPAIGN 2017120024 (ELEC) CAMPAIGN DESC. 1709P46C62 (ELEC) AND THEY STATE NO OPEN RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE. TOOK VEHICLE TO REPUTABLE ESTABLISHED MERCEDES REPAIR SHOP AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS "NO COMMUNICATION WITH STEERING CONTROL MODULE" REPAIRMAN STATES THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AS THE AIRBAG MALFUNCTION CAN POSSIBLY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO THE DRIVER AND THE HORNS INABILITY TO FUNCTION PREVENTS THE DRIVER FROM ALERTING ANY OTHER DRIVERS IF THEY STRAY FROM LANE, ARE BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPACE, OR DISTRACTED AT A RED TRAFFIC SIGNAL.

THE REAR SUBFRAME RUSTED THROUGH RISKING THE CONTROL ARMS FROM DETACHING FROM THE FRAME. THIS COULD CAUSE THE CAR TO BE UNCONTROLLABLE WITH THE RIGHT, REAR WHEEL AND CONTROL ARM FROM DETACHING FROM THE VEHICLE.

REAR SUB FRAME RUST DIAGNOSED AT THE DEALER

MERCEDES C300 SEDAN SUB FRAME HAS A HOLE AND IS BREAKING APART. IT WAS TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE WHEN THE PROBLEM WAS FOUND. I SEE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FOR THIS OCCURRING WITH OTHER OWNERS BUT THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL. HTTPS://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/MERCEDESBENZ/C300/SUSPENSION-PROBLEMS.PHP

II WAS DRIVING AND CAR STEERING WHEEL GET STUCK DID NOT MOVE UP AND DOWN AND ALSO FRONT RIGHT SEAT DID NOT MOVE.

I HAVE SEVERAL SAFTEY RECALLS AND PERFORMANCE RECALLS. RIGHT NOW MY CAR IS NOT OPERABLE DUE TO THESE RECALLS. THERE IS NO DEALER ON MY ISLAND. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW FROM HAWAII AND SHIPPED TO GUAM. THE DEALER IS REQUESTING US TO SHIP BACK THE VEHICLE TO FIX THESE RECALLS. WHICH WILL COST ME ABOUT 10,000.00 FOR SHIPPING. HOW DO I GO ABOUT THIS.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY I10 I WAS DOING 65 MPH I TRY TO PASS A CAR SO I ACCELERATED THE CAR BUT THE CAR WAS NOT GETTING THE POWER AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SO I SAFELY PULL OUT OF THE FREEWAY AND INSPECTED THE CAR WITH A SCANNER AND IT SHOWED A CODE SO I SEARCH IN GOOGLE AND IT APPEARS A FAILURE OF THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP, I MANAGED TO TAKE THE CAR TO MY HOUSE DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DISAPPEARED BUT THE RPM'S WHERE IRREGULAR AND THE ACCELERATION WAS FAILING MORE OFTEN. IT APPEARS THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WHILE I WAS LOOKING IN GOOGLE AND YOUTUBE MANY PEOPLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE.

ELV LOCK FAILURE ON THE IN THE STEERING COLUMN, VEHICLE DISABLED

HELLO, I BOUGHT MY CAR FROM LOCAL DEALER, USED WITH 69K MILES. DELIVERED IT WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. DEALER CLAIMED IT WAS LOW WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID. I TEST DRIVE IT AND TOOK CAR TO MY HOUSE. AFTER A MONTH, I WENT TO MERCEDES BENZ SERVICE STATION WHERE I FOUND OUT THE CAMSHAFT ADJUSTER IS OUT. COSTING ANOTHER $4900. I RESEARCH MORE ON THIS ISSUE; THIS IS A FLAW IN THE MERCEDES M271 ENGINE. AFTER A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MILEAGE, THE CAMSHAFT AND TIMING CHAIN HAVE BEEN MALFUNCTIONING IN MOST MERCEDES C250 CARS. MERCEDES DID A RECALL ON IT YEARS AGO THE CAMSHAFT ADJUSTER SOLENOID IS VERY FAULTY AS IT HAPPENS TO MOST C250 VEHICLE OWNERS. THE CHECK ENGINE STAYS ON EVERY DAY, THERE ARE 1000S OF PEOPLE REPORTED THIS ISSUE WITH MERCEDES.

AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED ONCE THEY CAR WAS TURN ON, AS I SHIFTED TO REVERSE TO BACK AWAY FROM A PARKING SPOT, AIRBAG DEPLOYED. NO IMPACT, NO COLLISION, NO POT HOLES. VEHICLE WAS ABOUT TONREVERSE. AIRBAG STRUCK PRIMARILY IN THE CHEST, NECK, AND THROAT. WHIPLASH EFFECT HAS ALSO CAUSE LOWER BACK PAIN.

I WAS ON THE 99 FREEWAY DRIVING NORMAL SPEED AND HIT BRAKES TO TAKE THE DENAIR EXIT. THE CAR SPED UP! LIKE TURBO POWER! THE SPEEDOMETER WAS AT 90 MPH AS I FLEW THROUGH A RED LIGHT AT TOP OF THE RAMP! I HAD TO CONTINUE DOWN RAMP BACK ON FREEWAY. PUSHING AND PUSHING ON BRAKES BUT NOTHING HAPPENED! NEXT RAMP WAS A BIT STEEPER , SO TRIED AGAIN TO SLOW CAR DOWN! IT STARTED TO SLOW AND I WAS ABLE TO PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AS IT CAME TO STOP AND I POWERED THE CAR OFF. I WAS APPROXIMATELY 50 MILES FROM HOME AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO MERCEDES OF STOCKTON. AFTER THEIR REPAIR DEPARTMENT CHECKED MY CAR, THEY FOUND THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS BAD AND THE TURBO PIPE HOSE WAS TORN( DUE TO WEAR AND TEAR). I HAD PREVIOUSLY (2 MONTHS EARLIER)HAD MY CAR IN FOR COMPLETE CHECK UP BY THE STOCKTON, CALIFORNIA DEALERSHIP AND NOTHING WAS DETECTED. I FEEL THIS A SAFETY ISSUE! I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED! ALSO I BELIEVE THIS TO BE MANUFACTURE DEFAULT, THE COST TO FIX IS $2,400, AND I ALWAYS BRING MY CAR IN FOR REGULAR SERVING. THANK YOU

MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT MY 2013 MERCEDES C250 HAS A TIMING CHAIN/CAMSHAFT ADJUSTER SPROCKET PROBLEM AND THAT IT HAPPENS A LOT ON THESE CARS. I FOUND HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE ONLINE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IT STARTS USUALLY AS SOON AS THE WARRANTY ENDS. THE COST TO FIX IT AT THE DEALERSHIP IS $5600. IT IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS AS YOUR ENGINE WILL EVENTUALLY GET DAMAGED WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING AND CAUSE A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.

THE WARRANTY IS OVER AT 50000 MILES. THE FAILURE IS COMMON AND THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET AND.MANY OF THE INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOPS KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM. I CAN FAX MORE DETAILS

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY DOING AROUND 70 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR LOST POWER AND START SHAKING ACTING LIKE IT DIDN'T WANT TO GO FORWARD, I WAS AFRAID THAT IT WAS GOING SHUT DOWN ON ME AND A LOT OF CARS WAS COMING BEHIND ME I WAS SO AFRAID I WAS GOING TO BE IN A BAD ACCIDENT, I WAS ABLE TO GET OVER AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WITHOUT INCIDENT, BUT I WAS AFRAID THE CAR WAS GOING TO SHUT OFF ON ME AND NOT START BACK UP BUT I MANAGE TO MAKE IT HOME BECAUSE I WAS ONLY A FEW MILES AWAY. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK THE CAR TO BE DIAGNOSE BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON I WENT TO THE AUTOMOBILE REPAIR SHOP TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSE AND THE CODE CAME UP FOR CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSORS I HAD THEM REPLACED, THEN MY CAR STARTED HESITATING TO START AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND THEN GO OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND I WOULD DRIVE IT FOR ABOUT 30 MINS AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME BACK ON AGAIN STAY ON FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND GO BACK OFF AGAIN, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND I WAS INFORM THAT IT WAS THE TIMING CHAIN BUT I DIDN'T BELIEVE IT, BECAUSE I HAD JUST REPLACED THE SENSORS AND THE SPARK PLUGS AND I DIDN'T HAVE THAT MANY MILES ON IT AND I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 3 1/2 YEARS, I STILL DIDN'T BELIEVE IT THEN MY CAR STARTED TO HESITATE ON STARTING UP AND LOOSING POWER WHEN I WAS DRIVING IT AGAIN, SO I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER AUTOMOBILE REPAIR SHOP THAT SPECIALIZE IN FIXING MERCEDES BENZ AND IT CAME BACK WITH THE SAME DIAGNOSE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS DUE TO TIMING CHAIN, TIMING CHAIN NEED REPLACING. I HAVE ALREADY REPLACE 2 CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSORS ON THIS CAR. I WAS TOLD IT WILL COST ME AROUND 5000.00 TO FIX IT. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD MY CAR MAINTENANCE SERVICE ON TIME, I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THIS CAR IS HAVING THIS TYPE OF PROBLEMS. I AM SO AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR.

IN MY SECOND LETTER TO AG DAIMLER I REITERATED MY PLEA THAT MY CARS VALUE CONTINUES TO DECLINE & I CAN NOT TRADE WITH AN OPEN RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. DAIMLEE'S CEO RESPONDED, NOT HIS PROBLEM & HE HAD SENT A LETTER OF MY CONCERN TO MERCEDES USA. I RECEIVER A CALL FROM MERCEDES USA SAYING IT WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM EITHER. I WAS TOLD THIS PERSON IT IS THE "FAULT" OF THE NHTSA SAYING IT REGULATES WHEN A CERTAIN VEHICLE MAKE, MODEL & YEAR CAN BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED. IF TRUE, YOU, AS TYPICAL OF GOVERMENT AGENCIES, ARE PUTTING MY FAMILY & MILLIONS OF OTHER PERSONS AT RISK.

I AM NOW BACK IN CANADA BUT COULD NOT BRING MY CAR TO CANADA BECAUSE THERE IS AN OUTSTANDING RECALL. IN MAY 2018, THE RECALL ON STEERING WAS FIXED. BECAUSE I DO NOT LIVE IN CALIFORNIA ANYMORE, IT IS IN A GARAGE WASTING AWAY. I ONLY USSE THE CAR IN MY YEARLY VISITS TO CHECK ON IT. LAST 2018, I USED THE CAR FOR LESS THAN 1,000 MILES. IN 2019, I HAVE NOT USED THE CAR. LAST FEB 2020, I REQUESTED A FRIEND TO HAVE MY CAR CHECKED AT AN MB DEALERSHIP (FLETCHER JONES IN FREMONT, CA). THEY REPLACED THE WHOLE STEERING MECHANISM BECAUSE IT WAS LEAKING OIL PROFUSELY. I COMPLAINED THAT SINCE THE RECALL ON THE STEERING WAS ONLY FIXED IN MAY 2018 AND USED THE CAR LESS THAN 1,000 MILES, HOW CAN THE STEERING MECHANISM DAMAGED AS SUCH. ALSO, ALTHOUGH THE CAR IS ALMOST 7 YEARS OLD, THE TOTAL MILEAGE ON THE CAR IS ONLY 22. 291 MILES. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THERE IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT IN THIS PART? ON ACCOUNT OF THE FRON PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL NOT YET BEING FIXED, I LEFT MY CAR IN CALIFORNIA. IT WAS SCHEDULED TO BE FIXED IN 2019 BUT WAS MOVED TO APRIL 2020. I HAVE WASTED SO MUCH MONEY IN THIS CAR BUT AM NOT ENJOYING OR BENEFITING FROM IT. I PRAY THAT THE AIRBAG RECALL IN THIS CAR BE FINALLY FIXED THIS COMING APRIL AS I HAVE DECIDED TO DRIVE IT FROM FREMONT, CA TO TORONTO, CANADA THIS COMING FIRST WEEK OF MAY WITH A CO-DRIVER. I AM FEED UP SPENDING SO MUCH MONEY ON A CAR I AM NOT USING AND DO NOT BENEFIT FROM.

I FIND IT UNACCEPTABLE THAT THERE IS NO OPTION FOR AIRBAG REPLACEMENT OVER TWO YEARS INTO THE RECALL

WHENEVER I ACCELERATE ENGINE LIGHT COMES UP AND IT TURNS INTO LIMP MODE.THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, ALOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME VEHICLE AS ME ARE HAVING SAME ISSUES. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN 3 TIMES, THIS IS A ERROR IN HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP.

I HAVE A NHTSA RECALL (18V043) - MANUF. RECALL # 2018030004 ON MY 2013 MERCEDES C250. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED OVER TWO YEARS AGO (ON JAN. 10, 2018), AND MY CAR STILL SAYS "RECALL INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE." MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE MANUFACTURER (MERCEDES-BENZ) HAS NOT OFFERED A TIMELY REMEDY. MY CONCERN IS, FIRST, SAFETY, BUT AS IMPORTANT -- I AM NOT ABLE TO SELL THIS CAR WITH AN OPEN RECALL. BUYERS ALL HAVE ONLY OFFERED A "DIMINISHED VALUE" OFFER BECAUSE OF THE OPEN RECALL WITH "REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE." THESE DEALERS SHOULD BE LEGALLY REQUIRED TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES IN A TIMELY MANNER. I'VE CALLED TWO DEALERSHIPS IN THE HOUSTON AREA (GREENWAY AND CLEAR LAKE), AND THEY WON'T EVEN GIVE ME A TIMEFRAME FOR THE REPAIRS. IN THE MEANTIME, I CAN'T SELL THIS CAR UNTIL IT HAPPENS. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED BY MERCEDES-BENZ'S POOR RESPONSE TIME IN DEALING WITH THIS (BOTH IN NOTIFYING ME OF THE ORIGINAL RECALL, AND IN MAKING A PLAN FOR DOING THE REPAIRS IN A TIMELY MANNER.)

I HAVE BEEN HAVING CONSTANT ISSUES WITH THE STEERING AND AIRBAG LIGHTS GOING ON. I WAS ALSO IN A BAD REAR END WRECK IN 2016 AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I HAVE BEEN CALLING SANTANDER CONSUMERS ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEY DON'T CARE AND ARE STILL MAKING ME PAY MY MORE. THE MERCEDES DEALER HAS SAID THAT THE RECALLS ARE PENDING AND THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THE ISSUE. SO I HAVE STOPPED MAKING PAYMENTS BECAUSE I HAVE A TODDLER AND WILL NOT DRIVE A DANGEROUS CAR AND THE CAR WAS RECENTLY REPOSSESSED LAST WEEK. THE AIRBAG DEPLOY LIGHTS CONSTANTLY STAY ON INDICATING THEY ARE NOT WORKING AND THE STEERING KEEPS LOCKING UP. IT HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED AND IN MOTION.

HELLO, MY C250, 2013 MERCEDES BENZ IS THE SUBJECT OF MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: 2018030004, AND NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 18V043. THIS IS IN REGARDS TO THE TAKATA AIR BAG DEFECT. MY MERCEDES BENZ DEALERSHIP SENT ME OVER TEN (10) RECALL NOTICES IN THE MAIL AND VIA EMAILS. EVERY TIME I CALLED THE DEALERSHIPS TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG, THEY WOULD TELL ME THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS, AND THAT I SHOULD CALL BACK IN FEW WEEKS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS NOW, AND DESPITE SEVERAL RECALL NOTICES BEING RECEIVED. MERCEDES BENZ DEALERSHIP HAS FAILED TO FIX THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG DESPITE THE FACT THAT IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS, A PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR EXPLOSION DURING DEPLOYMENT COULD RESULT IN METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING THE FRONT PASSENGER OR OTHER OCCUPANTS, POSSIBLY CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

AT 46,000 MILES MY MERCEDES BENZ C250 BEGAN HESITATING TO START AND THEN AFTER STARTING MADE A SLIGHT GRINDING NOISE FOR 3 TO 4 SECONDS. AFTER THE CAR HAD HESITATED TO START FOR SEVERAL DAYS THE ENGINE LIGHT THEN CAME ON. WHEN TAKEN IN FOR REPAIR I WAS TOLD THE CAM SENSOR AS WELL AS THE CAM GEARS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE DONE ALL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ON THIS VEHICLE AND AM A VERY CONSERVATIVE DRIVER, AS THIS CAR HAS VERY LOW MILES FOR BEING A 2013 MODEL. AFTER A BRIEF ONLINE SEARCH I FOUND COUNTLESS COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER CONSUMERS THAT HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR MERCEDES BENZ C250. IF THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY THE DEALERSHIPS ARE UNWILLING TO PERFORM THIS WORK AT ANY KIND OF DISCOUNT BECAUSE A FORMAL RECALL HAS NEVER BEEN MADE FOR THIS ENGINE MODEL. THIS REPAIR RANGES IN PRICE FROM $4,000 TO $5,000. THIS SEEMS LIKE AN ISSUE THAT URGENTLY NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AS MANY CONSUMERS ARE BEING LEFT TO PAY THIS EXCESSIVE BILL FOR AN ISSUE THAT I BELIEVE MERCEDES BENZ KNOWS IS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE IN THE C250 MODEL.

WHENEVER I WANT TO SPEED UP TO PASS A VEHICLE OR/AND TO ENJOY A RAPID ACCELARATING ENGINE LIGHT COMES UP AND IT TURNS INTO LIMP MODE.THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE

THE DAY IN WHICH MY CAR STOPPED WORKING, PRIOR MY VEHICLE WAS OPERATING PROPERLY NO ISSUES PRESENTED. THE IGNITION STARTED WITHOUT ANY INTERRUPTIONS OR ISSUES. I DROVE MY CAR TO VARIOUS LOCATIONS THE DAY I ENCOUNTERED MY ISSUES. I WENT OUT TO MY CAR WHICH WAS STATIONARY, PARKED AT MY RESIDENCE AND PRESSED THE PUSH START BUTTON AND IT WOULD NOT POWER ON. AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS, I CALLED AAA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO CHECK IF IT COULD POSSIBLY BE MY BATTERY, BUT TO OUR SURPRISE THE BATTERY WAS PERFECTLY FINE. I HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED TO MY MECHANIC WHO THEN INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS MY ELECTRONIC IGNITION SWITCH THAT WAS BROKEN, AND HE STATED HE WAS NOT EXPERIENCED IN REPLACEMENT AND THAT HE'D REFER ME TO A MERCEDES AUTHORIZED MECHANIC WHO WOULD BE ABLE TO HELP ME. AFTER HAVING MY VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEXT MECHANIC THEY THEN DID A THOROUGH DIAGNOSIS ON MY VEHICLE IN WHICH THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS MY ELECTRONIC IGNITION SWITCH AND THAT THEY HAD BEEN GETTING MANY MERCEDES C 250 MAKES IN THAT HAD THE SAME ISSUE, AND THEN STATED THEY DON'T KNOW WHY THERE WASN'T A RECALL ON THAT PART BECAUSE IT'S A MAJOR ISSUE WHICH IS DIFFICULT TO FIX. I AM ASKING THAT MERCEDES BE RESPONDING FOR THIS DEFECTIVE PART THAT HAS BEEN PUT IN THEIR CARS, AND COSTS AN ARM AND LEG TO FIX WHICH IS VERY UNFAIR. I KEEP UP WITH THE MAINTENANCE OF MY VEHICLE SO THIS SHOULD NOT HAD HAPPENED.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, IT TAKES FOUR CLICKS TO TURN OVER. AFTER TURNOVER, IT IDLES ROUGH, AND MAKES A RATTLE NOISE AROUND 1500 RPM. MERCEDES RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND SAID IT WAS A P034062 CODE AND RECOMMENDED REPLACING CAMSHAFT ADJUSTERS AND CAMSHAFT ADJUSTER MAGNET AND SEALS. THE COST WAS $4500. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THESE MERCEDES AND I BELIEVE THEIR SHOULD BE A RECALL AS THIS COULD CAUSE ENGINE DAMAGE WHILE DRIVING OR POSE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE.

MY AIRBAG ON THE DRIVER SIDE WAS LOOSED AND THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE AIRBAG IS POPPED OUT ON THE STEERING WHEEL JULY 2, 2019.

THAT THEY TIGHTEN IT BACK UP AND IT LOOK OK AND I NEED TO WAIT UNTIL I RECEIVE MY SECOND LETTER FROM MERCEDES BEFORE THEY CAN REPLACED THE AIRBAG THAT I NEED TO COME IN AND PICK UP THE CAR THAT IT WAS READY.

NOTHING HAS HAPPENED TO ME OR MY CAR, BUT I AM CONCERNED FOR OUR SAFETY. IS THIS COMPLAINT FORM ONLY FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE ALREADY HAD AN ACCIDENT OR PASSED AWAY DUE TO THIS RECALL? THE RECALL IS OPEN AND PARTS AREN'T READY!? I AM TRYING TO SELL MY CAR DUE TO A FINANCIAL ISSUE/HARDSHIP. I NEED TO KNOW HOW YOU ARE GOING TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM?

TAKATA RECALL APPEARS TO HAVE BECOME A BAD JOKE. IT HAS BEEN 16 MONTHS SINCE RECEIVING A LETTER FROM MERCEDES BENZ ACKNOWLEDGING THE DANGER OF OUR AIRBAGS NEEDING REPLACEMENT AND BEING A PART OF THE TAKATA RECALL (FEB 2018 TO JUNE 2019). MERCEDES BENZ HAS THEIR NOTIFICATION OF THIS RECALL, ON THEIR OWN MBUSA WEBSITE AS JAN 10, 2016 (NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 18V043). MBZ HAS STATED THE STATUS OF THIS RECALL AS "RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE." SINCE A VERY LONG TIME, WITH NO APPARENT CHANGES OR UPDATES. IT IS BECOMING CLEAR THAT MBZ HAS NO INTENTION OF FULFILLING THIS RECALL, AND APPARENTLY QUITE CONTENT TO LEAVE THE PASSENGERS AND DRIVERS OF THEIR VEHICLES IN DANGER OF INJURY, MAIMING, AND/OR DEATH FROM A REPAIRABLE PROBLEM THAT IS WELL KNOWN FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW.

TAKATA RECALL IN A LETTER DATED FEBRUARY 2018 I WAS NOTIFIED BY MERCEDES BENZ THAT MY C250 SEDAN HAD A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG THAT WOULD NEED REPLACEMENT. THE LETTER WENT ON TO SAY THAT PARTS WERE NOT YET AVAILABLE BUT I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN THEY BECAME AVAILABLE IN 2018. SOME TIME LATER, THE MBUSA (MBUSA.COM) WEBSITE PUBLISHED A REPAIR SCHEDULE INDICATING THAT PARTS FOR MY CAR WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE IN 2018 BUT WOULD BE IN EARLY 2019. NOW THE MBUSA WEBSITE SAYS THAT THE EXPECTED TIME FOR REPAIR PARTS IS APRIL 2020. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE BECAUSE THE CAR WILL BE OVER SEVEN YEARS OLD AT THAT POINT. THAT IS LESS THAN THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT IT TOOK FOR THE FIRST FAULTY AIRBAGS TO BEGIN KILLING AND MAIMING DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS. MY CAR IS IN PRIORITY GROUP 9. THE NHTSA DOCUMENTATION SHOWS THAT MANUFACTURERS SHOULD HAVE ACQUIRED SUFFICIENT PARTS FOR REPAIR OF PG 9 CARS BY JUNE OF 2018, BUT IN A LETTER OWNERS, THE CEO OF MERCEDES SAYS THAT THIS IS OUT OF HIS CONTROL. IT IS MY OPINION THAT MERCEDES BENZ IS OUT OF COMPLIANCE WITH 49 USC 301 AND THAT ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN TO CAUSE THEM TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THE REQUIRED REPAIRS IN A TIMELY MANNER.

WHEN ACCELERATING, THE CAR WILL JUST LOSE ALL POWER AND STOP ACCELERATING. THIS THROWS YOU FORWARD AND KILLS POWER TO THE ENGINE PREVENTING YOU FROM SPEEDING UP. IT THEN GOES INTO LIMP MODE AND HAVE TO RESTART THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE EXITING LIMP MODE. WHEN TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER THEY SAY IT JUST DETECTS A FUEL ERROR AND STOPS THE ENGINE TO PREVENT DAMAGE. THIS HAPPENED ONCE ON A HIGHWAY AND ONCE ON A CITY STREET AS I WAS TURNING.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND MY EXIT WAS COMING UP SO I PRESSED ON THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WAS STIFF AND I COULD NOT SLOW THE CAR DOWN.

MAY WE AT LEAST INSTUCT THE DEALER TO DISABLE THE AIRBAG TEMPORARILY (WITHOUT COST TO US) UNTIL A "FIX" IS AVAILABLE?

I AM WRITING BECAUSE MERCEDES HAS FAILED TO PROVIDE A REMEDY FOR A RECALL NOTICE DATED OCTOBER 16, 2017, OVER 1-1/4 YEARS AGO. I HAVE CONTACTED MY DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY HAVE NO INFORMATION ON ANY SOLUTION FOR THIS RECALL. IT WOULD APPEAR BASED ON THIS PERFORMANCE THAT MERCEDES MAY HAVE NO INTENTION OF PROVIDING A SOLUTION TO THIS RECALL WHICH, ACCORDING TO THE NOTICE, IS POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING. I ASK THAT THE NHTSA TAKE ACTION TO FORCE MERCEDES TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION TO FIX THE PROBLEM ON AN EXPEDITED BASIS GIVEN HOW THEY HAVE NOT DONE SO FOR OVER 15 MONTHS. THE RECALL INFORMATION IS: OCT 16,2017 MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER2017120024 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER17V627 RECALL STATUS: RECALL INCOMPLETE SAFETY RISK: AN INADVERTENT DRIVER AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT MAY CAUSE A RISK OF INJURY TO THE DRIVER AND MIGHT INCREASE THE RISK OF A POTENTIAL CRASH.

TAKATA RECALL I BOUGHT MY 2013 MERCEDES C250 USED IN 2016 IN ROCHESTER NY. THE CAR WAS ORIGINALLY SOLD AS A NEW CAR IN FLORIDA AND WAS THERE FOR IT'S FIRST THREE YEARS. THIS PUTS ME AT A HIGHER RISK LEVEL FOR A DANGEROUS AIR BAG. I BELIEVE YOUR SYSTEM ONLY TRACKS CURRENT LOCATION AND DOES NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE CARS HISTORY. I AM IN A ZONE C BUT THE CAR HAS SIGNIFICANT TIME IN ZONE A. I AM REQUESTING THAT I BE GIVEN PRIORITY FOR THE REPLACEMENT AIR BAG. MY CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN SERVICED WITH THE REST OF THE ZONE A CARS IN 2017. IT IS NOW EARLY 2019 WITH NO RESOLUTION IN SIGHT. MY LOCAL MD DEALER HAS GIVEN ME NO SATISFACTION ON THIS ISSUE AND APPEARS HELPLESS TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT.

I TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED IT WAS NOT A RECALL AND NOT A SAFETY CONCERN AND I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE DOOR WHICH THEY QUOTED ME $1000.00 (LABOR/DOOR). THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN WHEN YOU CANNOT OPEN THE DOOR WITH WINDOW UP. DEALER STATED THE PART HAS 2 YEAR WARRANTY AND THERE WAS NO ASSURANCE THAT IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN NOR IF THE OTHER DOORS LATCH/HANDLE WILL BREAK AS WELL.

TAKATA RECALL - MERCEDES BENZ HAS NOT REPAIRED MY VEHICLE YET, STILL WAITING. RECALLED SINCE JANUARY 10,2016.

TAKATA RECALL SAFETY RISK: YOUR PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG IS AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL BASED ON THE DEFECT DECISION OF TK HOLDINGS, INC. (TAKATA). UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES DURING A CRASH THAT NECESSITATES FRONTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, THE DEFECT IN YOUR PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR MAY CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO EXPLODE DURING DEPLOYMENT AND COULD RESULT IN SHARP METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING THE DRIVER OR OTHER OCCUPANTS, POSSIBLY CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. UNITL TODAY'S DATE THERE IS NO REMEDY FOR THIS AIRBAG PROBLEM OF MY VEHICLE FROM MERCEDEZ BENZ AND WOULD LIKE TO GET A REPLACEMENT OF THE CAR BOUGHT BACK.

TAKATA RECALL. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FROM A DEALERSHIP IN DECEMBER 2017 NOT KNOWING IT IR HAD TAKATA AIRBAGS. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL MERCEDES DEALERSHIP WHEN I RECEIVED THE RECALL CARD IN THE MAIL. THEY CONTINUE TO SAY THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS IN STOCK TO FIX IT. THIS HAS NOW BEEN OVER A YEAR AND NOBODY WILL HELP ME.

WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE REGARDING THE PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG IN FEBRUARY, 2018. THE NOTICE STATED THAT A SUITABLE REPLACEMENT WOULD BE MADE AND WE WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN IT WAS AVAILABLE. IT'S BEEN ALMOST A YEAR NOW AND WE STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION.

AS I WAS DRIVING TO COME TO A STOP AT A LIGHT, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF ROAD. LUCKLY I WASN'T ON MAJOR HIGHWAY OR ELSE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR ACCIDENT. AFTER READING FARTHER REPORTS THIS INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS OF TIME FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND AS WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. MERCEDES DID NOT DO ANY RECALLS OR PUT OUT ANY SAFETY NOTICES TO CUSTOMERS. THIS IS MAJOR SAFETY VIOLATION AND I FEEL THAT THEY DID NOT THINK ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE CUSTOMERS. I CONTACTED THE MERCEDES HEADQUARTERS AND NOTIFIED THEM OF THIS ISSUE AND THEY HAD NO ANSWER FOR THIS PROBLEM. I FELT MY LIFE WAS IN JEOPARDY BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE MANUFACTURING OF THE MERCEDES ENGINES AS WELL AS THE OTHER CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE BROUGHT UP THIS COMPLAINT. THEY WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM INSTEAD OFFERED A LOUSY INCENTIVE OF $1000 TOWARD NEW VEHICLE OR $500 TOWARD A CERTIFIED PREOWNED VEHICLE. THEN THEY ALSO CHARGED ME $800 TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THEN TO TELL ME AFTER THAT THAT IT MIGHT NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND RECOMMEND A NEW ENGINE. WHY SHOULD I PAY FOR A ENGINE THAT GOES OUT AT ONLY HAVING 110000 MILES ON IT. A TOP CLASS CAR DEALER AND THEIR ENGINES GO OUT AT 110000 MILES. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE.

MERCEDES-BENZ CONTACTED ME ABOUT THE RECALL TO FIX THE ISSUE BUT THE RECALL STATES 'RECALL INCOMPLETE REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE'. IF THIS IS THE CASE THEN WHY DID THEY CONTACT ME TO SUPPOSEDLY FIX THE ISSUE?

MERCEDES RECALL 17V627 WAS ISSUED SAYING "NO CONCERN UNLESS SRS LIGHT ILLUMINATES." MINE DID. I WENT TO ARROWHEAD MB IN PEORIA WHO WANTED TO CHARGE ME $175 TO DIAGNOSE AND $400 TO PULL THE BUMPER SAYING THEY WERE SURE THAT IT WASN'T THE RECALL CAUSING THE SRS LIGHT TO COME UP BUT NEEDED TO PULL THE BUMPER TO BE SURE. I HAD ANOTHER MECHANIC WITH A COMPUTER PLUG INTO THE MB AND COULD FIND NO OTHER CAUSE. I BELIEVE MB WAS TRYING TO ILLEGALLY RECOUP THEIR LABOR COST FOR FIXING A RECALL. I WOULD NOT ALLOW THEM TO CHARGE ME. MY HUSBAND WAS OUT OF STATE WORKING ON A TRIAL AND I WANTED FOR HIM TO COME HOME AND TEST HIS CAR WITH THE SAME RECALL HIS VIN IS [XXX] AND THE CAR REQUIRED REGULAR SERVICE AND MB TRIED TO UPCHARGE HIM $3500 FOR WORK THAT DIDN'T NEED TO BE DONE WE BELIEVE TO RECOUP THE LABOR IN FIXING A RECALL. WE LEASED THESE CARS AND THEN BOUGHT THEM OUTRIGHT FROM ARROWHEAD BOTH AT ONCE AND SERVICE HAS STEADILY DECLINED AND THE UNNECESSARY UPCHARGES BOTH AT ONCE, LEAD US TO BELIEVE THEY ARE TRYING TO RECOUP FOR FIXING A RECALL. MY BEST GUESS IS THE 400 WAS TAKEN IN MARCH OF 2018. I CANNOT FIND THE DATE IN MY EMAIL. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MERCEDES RECALL 17V627 MY WIFE HAS A MATCHING C250 AND FILLED WITH YOU MENTIONING MY VIN AS WELL. YOU CAN FIND HER INFORMATION UNDER YOUR COMPLAINT 11149647. WHEN I RETURNED HOME FROM OUT OF STATE WORK, SHE TOLD ME THE STORY OF HER ATTEMPT TO HAVE THE RECALL REPAIRED THE CRITERIA OF "CONCERN" WAS HAVING THE SRS LIGHT COME ON WHICH IT DID IN HER CAR. WHEN SHE GOT TO ARROWHEAD MB IN PEORIA, THEY WANTED A $175 DX FEE PLUS $400 TO PULL HER BUMPER TO POKE AROUND TO SEE IF A LOOSE PLUG WERE THE PROBLEM, AND SHE REFUSED TO PAY IT BELIEVING THEY WERE SIMPLY TRYING TO RECOUP LABOR COSTS OF FIXING A FEDERALLY MANDATED RECALL. WE DECIDED TO USE MY CAR'S ROUTINE SERVICE AS A TEST AS IT IS ALSO UNDER RECALL. NOT ONLY DID THEY WANT THE MAINTENANCE FEE, BUT ANOTHER $3500 FOR WORK THAT I DID NOT ACCEPT. I WENT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC WHO SAID THE WORK ABSOLUTELY DID NOT NEED TO BE DONE AT THAT TIME AND WE BOTH NOW BELIEVE THAT ARROWHEAD IS FALSELY INFLATING OR DIRECTING CUSTOMERS IN AN ATTEMPT TO RECOUP LABOR COSTS OF FIXING A RECALL. MY RECALL WAS REPAIRED. THIS IS NOW TWO TIMES AND I GUARANTEE WE WILL NOT BE BACK WITH MERCEDES IN THE FUTURE, BUT THIS IS A CRIME AND WE WANT IT INVESTIGATED SO NO OTHER OWNER FALLS FOR THIS BAIT AND SWITCH.

I HAVE A PENDING RECALL AND CONTACT THE MERCEDES BENZ BUT THEY SAID THIS RECALL WILL NOT BE FIXED UNTIL SEPTEMBER OF 2019. EVEN THEY SAY IS SAFE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS CAR, I WOULD LIKE TO TRADE-IN, BUT BECAUSE I HAVE THIS RECALL OPEN, I AM HAVING MY CAR DEPRECIATED BY AT LEAST $2,000. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS RECALL COMPLETED ASAP OR HAVE SOME COMPENSATION BY MERCEDES BENZ DUE TO THE FACT THAT I DON'T FEEL SAFE TO KEEP DRIVING THE CAR AS IS.

TAKATA RECALL. THERE IS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE FROM JAN 2016 WITH POSSIBLE SERIOUSLY INJURY OR DEATH WITH NO REMEDY TO THIS DAY. PLEASE ASSIST THANK YOU

THE INSIDE DRIVER'S DOOR HANDLE TO OPEN THE CAR BROKE. IT DOESN'T OPEN AND THOUGHT WAS EASY TO FIX. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND TOLD ME IT COST A $1,000.00 BECAUSE NEED A NEW PANEL. UNACCEPTABLE. LOOKING IN INTERNET, FIGURE OUT THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. THERE'S A LOT OF CARS IN U.S. THIS REPRESENT A SERIOUS LIFE THREATENING BECAUSE IN CASE OF ACCIDENT INVOLVING FIRE YOU CAN'T OPEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR FROM THE INSIDE AND HAVE TO OPEN THE ELECTRIC WINDOW TO USE THE OUTSIDE HANDLE (YES, IT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE!) IF THE CAR IS WITHOUT POWER IN AN ACCIDENT, YOU CAN LOOSE YOUR LIFE IF FIRE IS INVOLVE. YOU SIMPLY ARE TRAPPED AND THE ONLY OPTION IS BREAKING THE WINDOW. I WROTE TO DAIMLER, MB U.S.A. AND GARAJE ISLA VERDE (OFFICIAL DEALER IN PUERTO RICO), AND IT JUST COST $1,000.00. MB U.S.A. REFERRED THE CASE TO GARAJE ISLA VERDE BUT THEY THREAT ME LIKE...NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. OK, I TOOK THE CAR AND START SEARCHING IN INTERNET. SURPRISINGLY, MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM! THEN I THOUGHT TO WRITE BECAUSE THIS IS NOT SIMPLY A MATTER OF MONEY, ALSO IS A MATTER OF THREATENING. THIS IS MY WIFE'S CAR. WE TOOK THE CAR THERE FOR LOOKING FOR THE COST OF FIXING THAT, PRICE OF FIXING A CRASH AT BACK BUMPER AND FOR GENERAL INSPECTIONS. WE LEFT THE CAR SEPTEMBER 11. WE CALLED AFTER 2 WEEKS. I PICKED THE CAR OCTOBER 19. THE SAFETY MATTER CONCERNS TO YOU, NOT WITH MY CAR, BUT WITH ALL THE CARS IN THE NATION. MAKE AN INVESTIGATION ABOUT THAT AND DECIDE IF IT PROCEED. MY BEST REGARDS AND THANKS. [XXX] RETIRED CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE A SIMILAR COMPLAINT. I JUST DID MY PART.

I WAS EXPERIENCING AN ENGINE STALL WHEN STARTING MY VEHICLE AND A RATTLING LIKE NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AS WELL IN EARLY JANUARY 2018. MY ENGINE LIGHT SENSOR CAME ON ABOUT 2 DAYS LATER. I TOOK MY CAR TO MB LONG BEACH AND WAS ADVISED THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE THE CAMSHAFT ADJUSTED WHICH WOULD COST ME APPROXIMATELY $4K+. IT WAS FURTHER EXPLAINED THAT THIS ISSUE WAS DUE TO A CRACK IN THE SHAFT AND THE OIL IS NOT BEING PROPERLY DISPERSED. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION ON MY OWN BEHALF, THIS IS AN ENGINE MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND THERE ARE SEVERAL CONSUMER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE. AFTER CALLING MB USA SEVERAL TIMES, I FINALLY RECEIVED A CALL BACK STATING, I COULD RECEIVE A "1-TIME, 10% OFF THE TOTAL COST OF THE REPAIR. IF THIS WAS A CONSUMER RELATED VEHICLE REPAIR NEGLIGENCE THEN THE CONSUMER COVERING THE EXPENSE WOULD BE THE RIGHT THING TO DO, BUT WHEN THIS IS A DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER AND MB IS AWARE OF IT THEN THIS EXPENSE SHOULD BE ONE THAT SHOULD COVER.

MY MERCEDES BENZ C-300 4MATIC GOT RAIN WATER ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAR AND DAMAGED THE ELECTRICAL. THE CAR WAS PARKED ON THE STREET AND ALL THE WINDOWS WAS UP. THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR IN THE FRONT UNDER THE DASHBOARD WAS SOAKING WET FROM RAIN WATER. I DO NOT KNOW HOW THE WATER GOT INSIDE OF THE CAR. I WAS DRIVING IT AFTER A RAIN STORM AND ALL THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON ALL THE NEEDLE HANDS WENT DOWN TO ZERO, IT WAS LIKE THE CAR WAS TRYING TO RESTARTING ITSELF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE CAR IS NOW AT MERCEDES BENZ NOVI MICHIGAN NOW. I STILL OWE MONEY ON THIS CAR I AM SO DISAPPOINTED WITH MERCEDES BENZ. I READ SOMEWHERE ABOUT A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT REGARDING WATER COMING INSIDE OF THE MERCEDES.

I WENT TO AN AUTHORIZED MB DEALER AND THEY DID THE RECALL FOR THE STEERING COLUMN BUT NOT FOR THE AIR BAGS. I ALSO BELIEVE A RECALL SHOULD BE MADE DUE TO THE FACT THAT OIL HAS SIPHONED ITS WAY UP THE CAM MAGNETS AND SOLENOIDS THRU THE ENGINE WIRING HARNESS TO THE MAIN FUEL COMPUTER AND HAS CAUSED THE ENGINE TO BE OUT OF TIMING. ACCORDING TO YOUR AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP'S TECH THIS COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO SEIZE. ACCORDING TO RESEARCH THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT WITH RECALLS FOR OTHER ENGINES BUT IS STILL HAPPENING ON NUMEROUS MERCEDES BENZ VEHICLES.

GAS STATION NOZZLES REPEATEDLY GET STUCK IN CAR GAS TANK WHEN REFUELING. THE GAS STATION NOZZLE DO NOT CONTAIN THE SPRING AROUND THE NOZZLE, THEY ARE SMOOTH WITH NOTHING ON THE NOZZLE THAT COULD CATCH ON THE CAR. IT HAPPENS AT ALL GAS STATIONS FROM 76 TO COSTCO GAS. IT TAKES 5-10 MINUTES TO REMOVE IT WITH VARYING FORCE AND VARYING ANGLES. NOZZLE WILL SPIN AROUND FREELY BUT WILL NOT RELEASE . LATEST INCIDENT REQUIRED EXTREME FORCE 200LB MAN PULLING WITH ALL BODY WEIGHT. THIS ACTION CAUSED THE INTERNAL ROLLED METAL THAT HOLDS GAS CAB IN TO BEND UP AND OUT WHICH THEN PREVENTED THE GAS CAP FROM BEING SCREWED BACK ON. IT IS UNEXPLAINED HOW THE ROLLED METAL WAS ABLE TO LATCH TO THE GAS STATION NOZZLE AND THEN BEND UP AND OUT (SEE PICTURE) WHEN AGAIN THE GAS STATION NOZZLE IS SMOOTH. WHEN PLACING GAS STATION NOZZLE INTO THE CAR IT SLIDES IN VERY SMOOTHLY WITH NO HINT IT WILL NOT COME OUT. THERE IS A PLASTIC PIECE IN THE CAR WHERE THE NOZZLE SLIPS IN BETWEEN (SEE PICTURE). THIS APPEARS TO BE PREVENTING THE GAS STATION NOZZLE FROM BEING REMOVED BUT IT DOES NOT EXPLAIN THE DAMAGE CAUSED WHEN REMOVING GAS STATION NOZZLE. A HAMMER WAS USED (NOT SAFE WITH CHANCE OF SPARK BUT ONLY WAY TO BEND IT, PLIERS WILL NOT WORK) TO BEND BACK THE METAL (SEE PICTURE) SO THAT GAS CAP WOULD SEAT PROPERLY. IT IS UNCLEAR AT THIS MOMENT IF THE CAR CAN BE REFUELED OR IF DAMAGE NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED. GAS STATION ATTENDANT SAID "I SEE MANY MERCEDES HAVE THIS PROBLEM". THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO ONLY HAPPEN IN CALIFORNIA. TRAVELING ACROSS COUNTRY FROM WASHINGTON DC TO CALIFORNIA, NOT ONE TIME DID THE NOZZLE GET STUCK IN THE CAR. IT HAS BEEN SOMETHING I HAVE PREVIOUSLY JUST DEALT WITH KNOWING EACH TIME I CAN GET IT OUT BUT TAKES 2-3 MINUTES. NOTE, I DRIVE 3-5K MILES A YEAR.

I HAD TO START THE CAR TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW AND TO OPEN DRIVERS DOOR FROM OUTSIDE. I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE REPAIR AND NOTIFIED THE PLASTIC HANDLE BROKE AWAY INSIDE THE DOOR PANEL. TOLD IT WOULD BE 6-12 MONTHS OR LONGER WAIT TIME TO RECEIVE REPLACEMENT DOOR PANEL. MERCEDES BENZ DOES NOT JUST SELL A HANDLE REPLACEMENT AND HAVE TO PURCHASE THE WHOLE INTERIOR DOOR TRIM.

PROBLEM: I'M UNABLE TO OPEN MY DRIVER DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. I HAVE TO ROLL DOWN MY WINDOW TO OPEN MY DRIVER DOOR. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? I OPENED MY CAR DOOR. WHEN I GOT BACK ON THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE WAS LOOSE. CONTACT WITH DEALER: I WENT TO THE DEALER TO RECTIFY PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO REPLACE MY INTERIOR DOOR PANEL - WHICH I HAVE NO ISSUE WITH. HOWEVER, THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT LOCATION DID NOT HAVE THE PANEL I NEEDED AND MERCEDES WAS NO LONGER MAKING THE PART FOR THIS 2013 VEHICLE. HE TOLD ME THEIR WERE ONLY 3 INTERIOR PANELS IN CALIFORNIA. 1 IN SAN DIEGO AND 2 IN SACRAMENTO. I CALLED BOTH LOCATIONS. ALL WERE ON HOLD FOR OTHER CUSTOMERS. I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2013. BRAND NEW. I NOW HAVE 138,000 MILES ON IT - THAT I ALONE PUT ON THE VEHICLE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING A VEHICLE WHERE I CAN I OPEN THE DRIVER DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. IN ADDITION, TO BE INFORMED THAT MERCEDES IS NO LONGER MAKING A PART FOR A 2013 VEHICLE IS UNACCEPTABLE. WHEN PEOPLE GET IN ACCIDENTS, HOW IS THE PANEL REPLACED. I WENT ONLINE AND SAW SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM PAYING FOR AN INTERIOR DOOR PANEL. I JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO FEEL SAFE AND HAVE THE ABILITY TO OPEN MY DRIVER DOOR FROM THE INSIDEZ

"TAKATA RECALL". I RECEIVED A "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL NOTICE" FROM MERCEDES-BENZ USA, DATED NOVEMBER 2017 STATING THAT MY 2013 MERCEDEZ-BENZ C250 WAS BEING RECALLED DUE TO DEFECTIVE "TAKATA AIR BAGS". I CONTACTED MY LOCAL MERCEDEZ-BENZ DEALER (MERCEDEZ OF ORLANDO) AND THEY TOLD THAT THEY WOULD CONTACT ME WHEN REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. I RECEIVED A SECOND "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL NOTICE" FROM MERCEDEZ-BENZ USA (DATED FEBRUARY 2018) STATING THAT I SHOULD CONTACT MY LOCAL MERCEDEZ-BENZ DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY TO HAVE THE "TAKATA AIRBAGS REPLACED. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL MERCEDEZ-BENZ DEALER (MERCEDEZ OF ORLANDO) AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE REPLACEMENT PARTS WERE STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND THEY WILL CALL ME WHEN THEY ARE AVAILABLE. TODAY (07MAY2018) I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM MY LOCAL MERCEDEZ-BENZ DEALER (MERCEDEZ OF ORLANDO) TELLING ME THAT MY 2013 MERCEDEZ-BENZ C250 HAS A "SAFETY RECALL ISSUE" DUE TO DEFECTIVE TAKATA AIRBAGS AND I SHOULD CONTACT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT (855) 456-8774. I CONTACTED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF MERCEDEZ OF ORLANDO AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THE REPLACEMENT PARTS AND THEY WILL CONTACT ME AS SOON AS THEY HAVE THE PARTS. CONCLUSION: IT HAS BEEN 18 MONTHS SINCE I RECEIVED THE FIRST "SAFTY RECALL NOTICE" FROM MERCEDEZ-BENZ USA AND I STILL HAVEN'T HAD MY "RECALL ISSUES" FIXED. THIS IS TOTALLT UNACCEPTABLE. I AM DRIVING AN "UNSAFE" VEHICLE AND IS UNDER A "MANDATORY RECALL" AND MY LOCAL MERCEDEZ-BENZ DEARLER (MERCEDEZ OF ORLANDO) IS JERKING ME AROUND AND REFUSING TO FIX MY VEHICLE. IF I GET HURT OR INJURED IN A CAR ACCIDENT DUE TO THESE "SAFETY RECALL ISSUES" WHO IS LIABLE?

MY CAR HAS 47K MILEAGE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON A FEW WEEKS AGO. THE ERROR CODE WAS P0340 CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION. THE MERCEDES BENZ DEALER TECHNICIANS CHECKED THE CHECK AND FOUND THAT THE ISSUE WAS CAUSED BY TIMING CHAIN AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE IT. I DID RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND LOTS OF MB C250 2012 AND 2013 CARS WITH SIMILAR MILEAGE (40K TO 60K) HAD EXACT SAME ISSUE AS MINE. IT CAN CAUSE CRANKY START, FAILURE TO ACCELERATE WHILE DRIVING AND LOSING POWER. IT CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN CAR WITH THIS ISSUE ON THE ROAD, ESPECIALLY ON HIGHWAYS.

TURNING INTO A PARKING SPACE TODAY, MY CAR BRAKES FAILED. I COULD NOT STOP MY VEHICLE EVEN WHEN I PRESSED DOWN COMPLETELY ON THE PEDAL. I ENDED UP JUMPING THE PARKING SPACE "CURB/STOPPER" AND HIT A LIGHT POST. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS PRIOR BUT IT WAS EXTREMELY FRIGHTENING. I HAVE HAD OTHER ISSUES WITH THE CAR - THE RADIO WHERE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY AND THE VOLUME SPORADICALLY INCREASES AND DECREASES WITH NO RESOLUTION EVEN AFTER DIAGNOSTICS AND SOFTWARE UPDATES PER THE DEALER. THIS, HOWEVER, WAS AN ISSUE THAT COULD HAVE HAD WORSE CONSEQUENCES. AFTER THE COSMETIC DAMAGE IS FIXED, I PLAN TO HAVE MERCEDES RUN DIAGNOSTICS ON THE BRAKE SYSTEM.

SINCE OCTOBER 30, 2017 WE HAVE BEEN INQUIRING OF THE MERCEDES BENZ DEALER THAT SOLD AND SERVICES THE VEHICLE IF IT HAS PARTS TO REMEDY THE SITUATION IN NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 17V627. THE DEALER CONTINUES TO CONTEND THAT IT HAS NOT BEEN PROVIDED THE NECESSARY PARTS.

40,000 MILE VEHICLE. PROLONGED TO START WITH GRINDING NOISE FROM VALVE COVER. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. CAR WAS TAKEN TO MERCEDES BENZ OF BIRMINGHAM WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH FAULTY CAM ADJUSTERS, TIMING CHAIN, AND TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER $4,200 REPAIR ESTIMATE. COMMON PROBLEM WITH MERCEDES M271 ENGINE. CUSTOMER REFUSED REPAIR. PROBLEM OCCURRED WHILE AT A STOP AND IN MOTION.

I RECEIVED A RECALL INOVEMBER 2017 AND AM UNABLE TO GET MB TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO FIX AN INSUFFICIENT GROUNDING COMPONENT IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH MAY CAUSES AN ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE WHICH DEPLOYS THE TAKATA AIRBAG WITH RESULTANT ACCIDENT OCCURRENCE. I AM IN FEAR WHEN DRIVING. MB HAS NOT RESPONDED TO MY REQUEST. THEY HAVE NOT PROVIDED ME WITH A SAFE CAR; THEY HAVE IGNORED REQUESTS; THEY HAVE GIVEN NO ANSWER TO MY LETTER AND PHONE CALLS TO CEO EXLER IN ATLANTA OR ANY PERSON IN MANHATTAN MAIN OFFICE. THEY HAVE DEVALUED THE WORTH OF MY CAR IF I TRIED TO SELL IT. THEY HAVE RIPPED OFF THE SYSTEM, WHILE SPENDING MILLIONS ON MARKETING. CARS THEY PRODUCED FOR 2018 WERE SOLD WITH RECALLS. THERE ARE MILLIONS ON THE ROAD FROM 2012 THROUGH 2018 THAT I HAVE FOUND SO FAR FROM GOVERNMENT PUBLISHED LISTS OF RECALLED MERCEDES BENZ MODELS. WHEN WILL I LEARN THERE ARE ACCIDENTS ALREADY CAUSED BY THESE RECALL FAILURES? MILLIONS WILL BE SPENT FOR HUSH MONEY TO THE MEDIA, BUT NO MONEY FOR RECALL CORRECTION.I HAVE SERVICED MY CAR PER MANUAL DIRECTION, AND PRIOR TO RECALL HAD EXTENDED MY WARRANTY BY TWO YEARS TO THE TUNE OF $2800+++ WILL YOU ANSWER THIS COMPLAINT? SHOULD ALL OF US SO AFFECTED HOLD OUR BREATHS?

THIS IS REGARDING RECALL NUMBER NHTSA 17V627 AND MANUFACTURER # 2017100005. SUMMARY OF RECALL: DAIMLER AG (DAG), THE MANUFACTURER OF MERCEDES-BENZ VEHICLES, HAS DETERMINED THAT ON CERTAIN B-CLASS ELECTRIC, C-CLASS, E-CLASS AND CLA, GLA, GLC, GLK-CLASS VEHICLES (242, 204, 205, 207, 212, 117, 156, 253 PLATFORM) AN ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE, WHEN COMBINED WITH A BROKEN STEERING COLUMN MODULE CLOCK SPRING AND AN INSUFFICIENT GROUNDING OF THE STEERING COMPONENTS, COULD LEAD TO AN INADVERTENT DEPLOYMENT OF THE DRIVER AIRBAG. A BROKEN STEERING COLUMN MODULE CLOCK SPRING ACTIVATES A DRIVER AIRBAG WARNING MESSAGE IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, AS WELL AS THE RED AIRBAG WARNING LAMP. AN INADVERTENT DRIVER AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT MAY CAUSE A RISK OF INJURY TO THE DRIVER AND MIGHT INCREASE THE RISK OF A POTENTIAL CRASH. I CONTACTED AN AUTHORIZED MERCEDES-BENZ DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE PART TO FIX THE RECALL ISSUE IS NOT YET AVAILABLE. I FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE GIVEN IT COULD "CAUSE A RISK OF INJURY TO THE DRIVER AND MIGHT INCREASE THE RISK OF A POTENTIAL CRASH". WHAT RECOURSE DO I HAVE REGARDING THIS AND TO ENSURE MY VEHICLE IS REPAIRED & SAFE IN A MORE TIMELY MANNER? IT HAS NOW BEEN OVER 5 MONTHS SINCE THE RECALL WAS ISSUED!

I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH MBUSA CUSTOMER SERVICE ABOUT THE TAKATA RECALL. IN THE LETTER SENT OUT, IT STATES THAT 'A PASSENGER- SIDE INFLATOR EXPLOSION DURING DEPLOYMENT COULD RESULT IN SHARP METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING THE FRONT PASSENGER OR OTHER OCCUPANTS, POSSIBLY CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.' BUT THAT THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX THIS POSSIBLE DANGEROUS SITUATION IF IT HAPPENS TO OCCUR. I TOLD THE PHONE REPRESENTATIVE I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING MY CAR, ESPECIALLY WITH MY SON WITH ME AND ASKED IF MB CAN OFFER ME A RENTAL CAR UNTIL THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO FIX THE RECALL. SHE SAID MB AT THIS TIME IS NOT IN THE POSITION TO OFFER RENTAL CARS. AND I REPLIED ' YOU ARE SAYING THAT MB IS NOT WILLING TO GIVE ME A RENTAL CAR WHILE YOU HAVE SENT OUT A RECALL STATING I CAN BE IN DANGER BUT ARE UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM?. AND SHE REPEATED THAT MB IS NOT IN THE POSITION TO OFFER RENTAL CARS AT THIS TIME. I FEEL LIKE THERE SHOULD BE SOMETHING MERCEDES SHOULD DO. I UNDERSTAND MB IS SENDING OUT THE RECALL NOTICES TO SAVE THEMSELVES IF SOMETHING DOES HAPPEN TO A DRIVER DUE TO THE RECALL, AND I AM ASSUMING THEY ARE HOPING CUSTOMERS JUST DISREGARD THE NOTICE. IF A CUSTOMER, SUCH AS MYSELF FEELS UNSAFE BECAUSE OF THIS RECALL AND IF MB IS NOT GOING TO RESOLVE IT NOW, THEN WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS ?

I WAS ON I-95 AND THE CAR JUST STARTED SHAKING AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE,VERY DANGEROUS. THE CAR ALSO HAS A DANGEROUS LAG WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE MAKING A U TURN TO ON COMING TRAFFIC AND THE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE NEARLY CAUSING A CATASTROPHIC LIFE THREATENING ACCIDENT. I HAVE HAD MY CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 3 MONTHS TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND TO DATE EVERY TIME I GET IT BACK THE SAME THING HAPPENS. MY PAPERWORK IS WITH MY CAR THAT HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP SINCE FOR 3 MONTHS.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM MERCEDES ABOUT THE TAKATA AIRBAGS. WHEN I CALLED THE COMPANY TO SEE WHEN REPLACEMENTS WILL BE AVAILABLE THEY STATED THEY DID NOT KNOW SO I CALLED THE AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE. THEY TOLD ME NOT FOR A YEAR DUE TO MY MODEL IS 2013. I THEN CALLED MERCEDES BACK AND SAID THAT IS NOT A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME AND WOULD LIKE A LOANER VEHICLE UNTIL MINE IS FIXED AND SAFE. MERCEDES STATED THEY ARE NOT GIVING LOANER VEHICLES AND ENCOURAGED ME TO KEEP DRIVING THIS VEHICLE SINCE THEY HAVE NOT HAVE ANY DEATHS. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO ME AND I WOULD LIKE A LOANER OR REPLACEMENT VEHICLE. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND THERE ARE REPORTED ACCIDENTS WITH THEIR VEHICLES HAVING AIRBAG ISSUES AND INJURIES HAVE BEEN REPORTED. NOT HAVING ANY REPORTED DEATHS DOES NOT MAKE MY CAR SAFE, SINCE WHEN DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE IN ORDER FOR A COMP[ANY TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND PROVIDE THEIR CUSTOMERS WITH A LOANER OR SAFE VEHICLE REPLACEMENT.

THERE'S A RECALL FOR A GROUNDING ISSUE THAT CAN AFFECT THE AIRBAGS ON THE VEHICLE, THIS ISSUE WAS DETECTED IN OCT/2017 AND IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT THEY HAVEN'T RECEIVED PARTS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM YET. ARE THEY WAITING FOR ACCIDENTS TO HAPPEN WHILE THEY SAVE MONEY?

TAKATA RECALL. WE HAVE BEEN RECEIVING RECALL NOTICES SINCE JUNE 2016. EACH NOTICE STATES THE MANUFACTURER HAS NO PARTS TO REPAIR THE ISSUE AND NO TIMETABLE ON WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED CAR. HAD WE KNOWN ABOUT THIS MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WE WOULD NOT HAVE SPENT SO MUCH MONEY ON PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. WHEN WE ATTEMPT TO TRADE THE VEHICLE IN WE ARE BEING LOWBALLED DUE TO THE OPEN SAFETY RECALL.

I RECEIVED TWO SAFETY RECALL NOTICES FROM DAIMLER AG (DAG) REGARDING AIR BAG ISSUES SINCE OCTOBER 2017, BOTH OF WHICH INDICATE THAT "REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE." THE MOST RECENT ONE (ISSUED JANUARY 2018) IS RELATED TO THE TAKATA RECALL: "ACCORDING TO TAKATA, IN THE EVENT OF AN INFLATOR RUPTURE, METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIR BAG CUSHION MATERIAL, WHICH MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS" THE FIRST RECALL, ISSUED OCTOBER 2017 RELATES TO: "DAIMLER AG (DAG), THE MANUFACTURER OF MERCEDES-BENZ VEHICLES, HAS DETERMINED THAT ON CERTAIN B-CLASS ELECTRIC, C-CLASS, E-CLASS AND CLA, GLA, GLC, GLK-CLASS VEHICLES (242, 204, 205, 207, 212, 117, 156, 253 PLATFORM) AN ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE, WHEN COMBINED WITH A BROKEN STEERING COLUMN MODULE CLOCK SPRING AND AN INSUFFICIENT GROUNDING OF THE STEERING COMPONENTS, COULD LEAD TO AN INADVERTENT DEPLOYMENT OF THE DRIVER AIRBAG. A BROKEN STEERING COLUMN MODULE CLOCK SPRING ACTIVATES A DRIVER AIRBAG WARNING MESSAGE IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, AS WELL AS THE RED AIRBAG WARNING LAMP. AN INADVERTENT DRIVER AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT MAY CAUSE A RISK OF INJURY TO THE DRIVER AND MIGHT INCREASE THE RISK OF A POTENTIAL CRASH. CONSEQUENCE AN INADVERTENT DRIVER AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT MAY CAUSE A RISK OF INJURY TO THE DRIVER AND MIGHT INCREASE THE RISK OF A POTENTIAL CRASH." IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT DAIMLER HAS NOT YET PROVIDED REMEDIES FOR THESE SITUATIONS.

TAKATA RECALL. MY CAR HAS A TAKATA RECALL , AS WELL AS ANOTHER RECALL WITH THE STEERING MODULE THAT BOTH CAN CAUSE INJURY AND OR DEATH , NEITHER RECALL HAS A REMEDY , AND I FEAR FOR MY AND MY CHILDREN'S SAFETY. WE SPENT ALOT OF MONEY ON THIS CAR DUE TO ITS "SAFETY", YET WE ARE NOT SAFE AND OUR LIVES ARE NOT IN GOOD HANDS DUE ACCIDENT. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS AND CAN SOMEONE PLEASE CONTACT ME , VIA THE ISSUE AT HAND . [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TAKATA RECALL I WANT TO GO ON RECORD HOW DISAPPOINTED I AM THAT PARTS ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE FOR SUCH A DANGEROUS RECALL. STATING 'AIRBAG EXPLOSION CAUSING SHARP METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING THE OCCUPANTS CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH' IS EXTREMELY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS. OTHER OPTIONS SHOULD BE MADE AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY. I INTEND TO TALK WITH MY MERCEDES DEALER AS WELL. THIS MAY PUT UNDUE BURDEN ON THE DEALERS AS WELL. NEWER VEHICLES SHOULD BE MADE AVAILABLE TO CUSTOMERS IF THIS IS NOT RESOLVED. THERE IS A HIGH RISK FACTOR AND INCREASED APPREHENSION EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ONE DAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, CODE 0340 FOR A CAMSHAFT SENSOR. BOTH SENSORS ARE REPLACED, LIGHT RETURNS IN TWO DAYS AND ALL PROBLEMS PERSIST. VEHICLE HAS A LONG CRANK, WHEN DIAGNOSED AS THE TIMING CHAIN AND TIMING CHAIN TENSION($4400 OF WORK). VEHICLE HAS 66K MILES. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON ISSUE. IN THE UK AND AUSTRALIA MERCEDES WAS FORCED TO PAY FOR REPAIRS BECAUSE OF CONSUMER PROTECTIONS. I'VE NOTICED A REDUCTION IN MY ABILITY TO SPEED UP QUICKLY AND I'VE READ ANECDOTES OF PEOPLE'S CARS STOPPING DEAD ON THE FREEWAY BECAUSE OF THIS. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER ISSUE AND MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. HTTPS://MBWORLD.ORG/FORUMS/C-CLASS-W204/680776-C250-TIMING-CHAIN-ISSUES-STILL.HTML

TAKATA RECALL ON FEBRUARY 26, 2018, I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FROM MERCEDES BENZ USA ("MERCEDES") WITH RESPECT TO A DEFECT ON THE "TAKATA" AIRBAGS, NOTING THAT "A PASSENGER-SIDE INFLATION EXPLOSION DURING DEPLOYMENT COULD RESULT IN SHARP METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING THE FRONT PASSENGER OR OTHER OCCUPANTS, POSSIBLY CAUSING INJURY OR DEATH." THE LETTER ALSO NOTES THAT REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE FOR MY VEHICLE. I CALLED MERCEDES TO BETTER UNDERSTAND WHY, IF I AM DRIVING A CAR THAT IS DEEMED TO BE UNSAFE AND PER THE ABOVE, COULD CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH, A REPLACEMENT PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. I WAS TOLD THAT MERCEDES SENT THE LETTER WITH THE VERBIAGE AS IT APPEARED FROM TAKATA, THAT MANY OTHER MANUFACTURERS WERE IMPACTED BY THIS RECALL, AND THAT MERCEDES WAS "LOW ON THE LIST" FOR REPLACEMENTS. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW OR WHY I SHOULD BE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE A CAR WITH MY FAMILY IN IT THAT IS DEEMED TO BE UNSAFE. I FURTHER DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY MERCEDES IS NOT TAKING ANY ACTION TO RECTIFY THIS SITUATION. MERCEDES DETERMINED THAT BOTH THEY AND YOU (AS THE REGULATOR) DETERMINED THAT THE CAR IS IN FACT SAFE, YET THE LETTER I WAS PROVIDED STATES OTHERWISE. PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW THIS IS POSSIBLE.

THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT IN MANY MERCEDES BENZ VEHICLES WHERE THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR LATCH SNAPS OFF INSIDE THE DOOR. TO EXIT THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER MUST LOWER THE WINDOW AND OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE.

MY FUEL PUMP ORIGINALLY WAS DIAGNOSED AS FAULTY IN OCTOBER 2017 ORDERED FROM MERCEDES BENZ OF SA WHICH WAS STATED BY THE ETA PROVIDED. UPON CALLING BACK THEY WERE UNABLE TO GET A ETA ON MY FUEL PUMP WHICH HAS MY CAR RUNNING HORRIBLE AND SMELLING LIKE GAS BUT IS MY ONLY CAR. IT HAS BEEN OVER 4 MONTHS SINCE SITUATION UPON CALLING TODAY NO ETA HAS BEEN GIVEN OR UPDATED THEY VOICED ITS ON INTERNATIONAL BACK-ORDER EVERYWHERE YOU CALL IF AN ITEM LIKE THIS ISN'T AVAILABLE THERE IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES AND RECALL NEEDED IMMEDIATELY TO HOLD MERCEDES RESPONSIBLE.

THE CARD DIRECTED ME TO THE WEB SITE WWW.AIRBAGRECALL.COM, I FOLLOWED THE DIRECTIONS AND ENTERED THE VIN FOR MY VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL

CAR ACCELERATED AFTER TAKING A RIGHT TURN INTO PARKING SPACE AND THE BRAKES DID NOT RESPOND. CAR WENT OVER A BANK AND FINALLY STOPPED.

THE STEERING WHEEL HAS ALUMINUM TRIM WHICH IS PEELING OFF IT CUT MY FINGER. IT'S TOO THIN AND HAS SHARP EDGES. ASKED DEALER TO REPLACE IT BUT WAITING ON DEALER TO GET BACK TO ME. I AM INFORMING YOU BECAUSE I DID RESEARCH ON GOOGLE AND BUNCH OF PEOPLE HAD SAME ISSUE.

I HAD JUST ENTERED THE HIGHWAY AND LESS THAN A HALF A MILE FROM ENTERING THE HIGHWAY MY SUNROOF EXPLODED. THERE WERE NO CARS NEAR ME AND NO DEBRIS NEAR MY CAR. I CONTACTED MERCEDES BENZ AND THEY SEEM VERY UNCONCERNED. WHEN THIS OCCURRED GLASS WENT EVERYWHERE, ALL OVER ME AND BOTH THE FRONT AND BACK SETS. I WAS DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 60 MILES AND HOUR. AFTER GAINING CONTROL OF THE CAR I GOT OUT AND CALLED THE POLICE AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY. THIS WAS A TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE.

ON 09-12-16 I WAS INVOLVED IN A REAR END COLLISION (35+ MPH). I WAS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC (INTERSTATE HIGHWAY). MY VEHICLE WAS IN ECO MODE AND THE VEHICLE'S BRAKE HOLD FEATURE WAS ACTIVATED, THE BRAKE WAS FULLY ENGAGED/PRESSED, AND HOLD WAS DISPLAYED ON THE FORWARD INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. WHILE STOPPED, ANOTHER VEHICLE STRUCK MY VEHICLE FROM THE REAR. MY VEHICLE'S NECK-PRO RETRAINT SYSTEM ACTIVATED AND THE HAZARDS ACTIVATED. NO AIR BAGS WERE DEPLOYED. HOWEVER, A FEW SECONDS AFTER THE ACCIDENT, THE BRAKE HOLD FEATURE DEACTIVATED AND MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROLL INTO RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. AFTER ACTIVELY PUMPING THE BRAKES, TO NO AVAIL, I INITIATED AN OFFENSIVE MANEUVER AND SWERVED THE VEHICLE OFF OF THE HIGHWAY AND ONTO UNPAVED SIDE ROAD/SHOULDER. MY VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ROLL FORWARD AND ONLY STOPPED AFTER I FULLY PRESSED/ENGAGED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. IS DEACTIVATING BRAKE HOLD IN A REAR END COLLISION A DESIGN FLAW, OR IS THIS THE INTENDED FUNCTION?

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR HANDLE BECAME DISENGAGED FROM CABLE. I COULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. THIS INCIDENT DID NOT IMMEDIATELY AFFECT MY SAFETY, BUT I AM REPORTING THIS ISSUE BECAUSE I FORESEE A PROBLEM WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS FLIMSY DOOR OPENING SYSTEM. MY CAR IS BARELY 4 YEARS OLD AND IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND COULD NOT OPEN MY DOOR IMMEDIATELY, IT COULD SPELL TROUBLE.
