TAKATA RECALL: WE RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT THE AIRBAG RECALL OVER 15 MONTHS AGO AND THE DEALERS IN THE AREA DO NOT HAVE AIRBAGS TO REPLACE MINE. HOWEVER I STILL SEE NEW CARS HITTING THE ROADS WITH NEW AIRBAGS IN THEM. IT APPEARS THE MERCEDES COMPANY CAN FIND AIRBAGS FOR NEW BUYERS BUT NOT FOR THOSE THEY HAVE ALREADY GOT ON THE ROAD. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE RIDING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OF MY ONLY CAR BECAUSE OF THIS DEFEAT. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO GET THIS SITUATION FIXED. I FEEL WE HAVE WAITED LONG ENOUGH TO GET THIS REPAIR DONE. I WAS TOLD THAT WHEN THEY GET THE PART AND I BRING IT IN FOR REPLACEMENT THEY WILL PAY FOR HALF OF ANY OTHER REPAIRS I MAY BE NEEDING AS SOME GESTURE OF MY HAVING TO WAIT SO LONG, BUT THEY STILL HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THERE WILL BE ANY REPAIR PARTS AVAILABLE.

TAKATA AIRBAG: I RECEIVED MY RECALL NOTICE (DATED SIMPLY " FEBRUARY 2018") FROM MERCEDES FIRST WEEK OF MARCH 2018. SINCE THEN I HAVE REPEATEDLY CONTACTED MERCEDES CORPORATE, BOTH HERE AND IN GERMANY, AND KEEP GETTING THE RUN-AROUND. THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT I "MAY" GET MY AIRBAG REPLACED IN MARCH 2019. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I RESIDE IN VERY HOT & HUMID SOUTH FLORIDA AND MY VEHICLE IS OVER 5 YEARS OLD. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT NHTSA INSTRUCTED THE MANUFACTURERS TO MAKE OLDER VEHICLES AND THOSE IN HOT & HUMID AREAS A PRIORITY. WELL, THEY ARE NOT DOING SO AS I HAVE SEVERAL FRIENDS THAT HAVE FAR NEWER MODELS AND THAT LIVE IN COOLER REGIONS AND THEIR AIRBAGS HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPLACED. I AM PAYING A MONTHLY PAYMENT FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS CURRENTLY PARKED AS I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. THEY ALSO REFUSED TO PROVIDE ME A LOANER VEHICLE. IF I CAN'T GET THIS RESOLVED I WILL BE FORCED TO FILE A PRIVATE LAWSUIT AS THEY ARE CLEARLY NOT FOLLOWING NHTSA GUIDELINES IN REGARD TO THIS RECALL. ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN PROVIDE IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.

IT'S NOT SAFE KNOWING THERES A RECALL FOR THE AIRBAG AND THEY HAVE NOT REPLACED IT.

VEHICLE HAS ~ 20K MILES, BROUGHT INTO DEALER BECAUSE ABS LIGHT WENT ON WHILE DRIVING SAYING SYSTEM WAS INOPERATIVE. DEALER THEN FOUND GAS TANK LEAK, AND WOULD NOT LET ME LEAVE THE DEALER, BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY HAZARD. SEARCH SHOWS RECALL FOR EARLIER MODEL YEAR 2012 WITH SAME ISSUE, BUT DEALER SAYS NO RECALL FOR 2013. ABS SENSORS ARE ALSO MALFUNCTIONING WHILE DRIVING. TWO SEPARATE INCIDENTS FOR ABS SENSORS. TWO BEEN REPLACED WITHIN ONE WEEK!

TAKATA RECALL: I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN FEBRUARY 2018 FROM MERCEDES BENZ. I CONTACTED MERCEDES BENZ SEVERAL TIMES AFTER RECEIVING THE NOTICE AND WAS TOLD THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE AT THE END OF JUNE 2018.

I HAVE RECEIVED SEVERAL NOTICES IN REGARDS TO REPLACING THIS PASSENGER AIRBAG AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME THAT THIS PART IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE.

DRIVING 45-50 MPH ON THE ROAD ALONE AND AM STARTLED BY LOUD NOISE WHICH RESEMBLED A GUNSHOT. I IMMEDIATELY CHECKED THE DASH TO SEE IF ANY WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED BUT SAW NOTHING. AFTER A FEW MINUTES I LOOKED UP AND NOTICED MY PANORAMIC SUNROOF WHAT SHATTERED IN TINY PIECES. DEALERSHIP STATED THAT "NO OUTSIDE SOURCE FOUND CAUSING DAMAGE" TO THE SUNROOF. CAR IS UNDER AND EXTENDED WARRANTY AND MANUFACTURE HAS REFUSED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ISSUE.

WHEN I'M DRIVING THE CAR, THE CAR WILL AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTS FROM D(DRIVE) TO P(PARK). IT HAPPENS ESPECIALLY WHEN I HIT THE BRAKE. I WENT TO DEALER FOR THE SAME ISSUE TWICE, AND IT SEEMS THEY STILL CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM AND FIX IT. THIS IS A LIFE-THREATENING ISSUE. JUST IMAGE THE CAR STOPS IMMEDIATELY AT THE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY. WE ARE LUCKY NOT HIT BY THE CAR BEHIND US. IT HAPPENED TWICE ON HIGHWAY I-70.

ON MAY-JUNE 2016 THE VEHICLE WAS SHOWING A WARNING LIGHT RELATED TO A MALFUNCTION OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT, THE DEALERSHIP FOUND THROUGH A VEHICLE INSPECTION THAT IT WAS RELATED TO THE STEERING MODULE. ONE WAS ORDERED. THE AIRBAGS WERE DISABLE FOR A MONTH, PLACING AT RISK MY WIFE'S LIFE. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE FIXED BUT THE AIRBAGS NOW COULD BE DISABLE OR WILL MALFUNCTION IN THE FUTURE. SINCE THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE HAS TAKATA AIRBAGS, I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST THE REPLACEMENTS OF ALL AIRBAGS, INSTEAD OF A TRIAL/WAITING IF THIS WILL MALFUNCTION IN THE NEAR FUTURE, WITH A RISK OF A PREVENTABLE DEATH OF ME OF MY WIFE, AS WE BOTH ARE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I APPRECIATE PLACING HUMAN LIFES INSTEAD OF MONETARY GAIN.

EMERGENCY BRAKE FAILS TO RELEASE. IF RELEASED BRAKE CANNOT BE APPLIED BECAUSE IT FREEZES. BRAKE WAS USED REGULARLY WHEN IN PARK AS PRESCRIBED. BRAKE WAS ALSO EXCERSIZED ACCORDING TO PROCEDURES ON P.165 OF THE 2012-3 GLK OWNERS MANUAL. UNDERBODY OF CAR WAS GENTLY WASHED PERIODICALLY TO FLUSH ANY SALT ETC. FROM EXPOSED BRAKE LINES AS PER MANUAL WHEN CAR WAS WASHED ON A REGULAR BASIS. NOW IT CANNOT BE APPLIED IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS. THERE IS NO VISIBLE CORROSION ON THE BRAKE LINES. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH MBUSA 2012 -2015 GLKS. RESULT" ONE E CANNOT APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH C AND GLK CLASS CARS THAT MBUSA REFUSED TO RECOGNIZE. IT MAYBE A PROBLEM WITH THE LINKAGE IN THE FIREWALL. AGAIN THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM IN AN EMERGENCY. CAR IS ALWAYS GARAGED.

MY 2013 GLK350 WAS STATIONARY AND I WAS PARKED IN MY PARENTS DRIVEWAY IN ILLINOIS. IT WAS NIGHTTIME AND I WENT TO GO CLOSE THE PANORAMIC ROOF SINCE I WAS GOING INSIDE AND IT WAS LIGHTLY RAINING. TEMPS OUTSIDE WERE MILD SINCE IT WAS MAY 27, 2016. WHEN I WENT TO CLOSE THE ROOF I HEARD A CRUNCH SOUND BUT DID NOT NOTICE IT WAS SHATTERED. I CLOSED THE SUN BLIND AND IT WASN'T UNTIL I OPENED THE BLIND THE NEXT TIME MAY 28, 2016. MY SISTER AND I BOTH LOOKED UP AND NOTICED THE GLASS WAS SHATTERED. THE REST OF MY FAMILY ALSO NOTED THE DAMAGE ALSO AND WE TOOK INCLUDED PICTURES. I CALLED MB USA AT 800 367.6372. ADAM THE REP I SPOKE TO SAID I NEEDED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF IT'S PART OF A RECALL BUT WHEN THEY LOOKED IT UP THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR MY VIN?? I FOLLOWED UP WITH VANESSA AT THE 800 AND SHE SAID THE SAME THAT SVC GUY DID AT DEALERSHIP. I ESCALATED MY COMPLAINT FOR RESOLUTION, NO OBJECTS OR ROCKS, ETC CAME IN CONTACT WITH THE GLASS AND THE TRACK WAS CLEAR OF DEBRIS. I LOOKED ON INTERNET AND NOTED SEVERAL SIMILAR INCIDENTS OF THE GLASS SHATTERING AND SOME WITH GLASS EXPLODING OUT OR IMPLODING??! MB IS NOT CLAIMING RESPONSIBILITY WHICH I DO NOT UNDERSTAND! I HAVE ESCALATED AGAIN AND I AM STILL WAITING TO CONNECT WITH MB USA TO DISCUSS SINCE THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER YOU'RE STATIONARY OR MOVING THIS IS A SERIOUS HAZARD. I HAD TO GET THIS REPAIRED AND COST ME UPWARDS OF $1600 OUT OF POCKET.. BUT HAS COST UP TO $2K PER INCIDENT. COME TO FIND OUT THIS IS NOT ONLY HAPPENING TO OTHER CAR MODELS AND SO FAR THERE ARE COMPLAINS FILED AGAINST KIA AND NISSAN.

PANORAMIC SUNROOF EXPLOSION. DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AT 45 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY THE CLOSED SUNROOF SHATTERED. NO FOREIGN OBJECTS OR CONTACT OCCURRED. IT WAS SPONTANEOUS EXPLOSION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 MERCEDES BENZ GLK350. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE CONTACT WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON CRASH WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED HEAD INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. IT WAS UNKNOWN IF THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000.

DRIVER'S SIDE WIPER LEAVES A WIDE WATER STREAK WHEN LEAVING THE A-PILLAR, BLOCKING DRIVER'S VISION. SENT VEHICLE BACK TO TWO DEALERS FOR 5 TIMES. EACH TIME THE DEALERSHIP CHANGED A WIPER BLADE, BUT PROBLEM REMAINED. A NEW MB FACTORY WINDSHIELD WAS INSTALLED IN 2014 SUMMER DUE TO GLASS DAMAGE UNRELATED TO THIS DEFECT. AFTER THAT, PROBLEM REMAINS. IN NOVEMBER 2014, A SERVICE MANAGER CITED A PUBLICATION FROM XENTRY, TOPIC NUMBER LI82.30-P-059239 (C), SUGGESTING THAT IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM EXISTING ON ALL PASSENGER CAR MODEL SERIES AND THERE'S NO TECHNICAL REMEDY AVAILABLE, THUS REFUSED TO PROVIDED ANY FURTHER WARRANTY REPAIRS. A VIDEO DESCRIBING THE DEFECT IS ON YOUTUBE: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=4NTTRAR-ZDO

I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN WHEN THE VEHICLES RPM JUMPED TO 4000, I QUICKLY PUT THE VEHICLE IN "PARK". THEN TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND STARTED THE ENGINE AGAIN. THE RPM JUMPED TO 4000 AGAIN. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND STARTED IT AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED TWICE WITHIN A WEEK. BOTH TIMES AT A STOP - ONCE AT A STOP SIGN AND ONCE AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL. TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE MERCEDES DEALER BUT MERCEDES SERVICE STATES THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. ALMOST EXACTLY 1 YEAR AGO, MY WIFE WAS IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE "LUNGED" FORWARD. SHE HAS NOT DRIVEN THE VEHICLE SINCE THAT INCIDENT AND I'VE BEEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY 2 DAYS A WEEK FOR ABOUT A YEAR. I HADN'T UNDERSTOOD HER CONCERN COMPLETELY UNTIL IT HAPPENED TO ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE LAST WEEK. THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM BUT MERCEDES IS SAYING THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. *TR

THE SUNROOF ON MY 2013 MERCEDES BENZ GLK 350 SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED WITH NO WARNING. NOTHING HIT THE ROOF OR ANY OTHER PART OF THE CAR. THE WEATHER WAS ABOUT 36 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT, NOT TOO COLD, NOT TOO HOT. THERE WAS A LOUD BANG (LIKE THE SOUND OF A GUNSHOT) FOLLOWED BY 5 - 10 MINUTES OF CRACKLING AS THE SUNROOF GLASS BROKE INTO HUNDREDS OF PIECES. IT APPEARS TO BE THE TOP LAYER OF DOUBLE-PANED GLASS, AS THE GLASS DID NOT FALL INTO THE CAR. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35 MPH AT THE TIME. THERE WAS NOTHING UNUSUAL THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THIS. *TR

I JUST LEFT MY HOUSE AND DROVE APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES. I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND AS I MADE A TURN AND ACCELERATED, I FELT A DRAG AND THEN A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE FRONT OF THE CAR. I THEN SMELLED SMOKE AND SAW BLACK SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE CAR. I PULLED OVER AND GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND SAW FLAMES UNDER THE FRONT OF THE CAR. IN A MATTER OF MINUTES THE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. 911 WAS CALLED AND THE FIRST RESPONDERS, A POLICEMAN AND A PERSON FROM THE ASSOCIATED FIRE PROTECTION, ATTEMPTED TO EXTINGUISH THE FLAMES WITH A DRY CHEMICAL FIRE EXTINGUISHER WITHOUT SUCCESS. BY THE TIME THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED, I WAS TAKEN TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO COMPLETE A POLICE REPORT SO I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IT TOOK TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE BUT THE END RESULT IS THAT THE CAR IS JUST A BURNED OUT SHELL AND WAS TOTALED. *TR

VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY LOCKED LEAVING MY 3 YEAR OLD IN THE VEHICLE STRAPPED TO HER CARSEAT. THE KEY FOB WAS IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME. MY WIFE LEFT THE KEYS IN HER PURSE SINCE THEY ARE BLUETOOTH KEYS AND PLACED THEM INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND WALKED AROUND TO DRIVERS SIDE TO GET IN. VEHICLE SELF LOCKED WHILE SHE WAS WALKING AROUND TO DRIVER'S SIDE, LEAVING CHILD TRAPPED IN VEHICLE IN 100 DEGREE WEATHER. CALLED MERCEDES BENZ OF AMERCIA, RELAYED THE PROBLEM. PHONE REP "[XXX]" SAID THIS HAPPENS FROM TIME TO TIME AND "THEY" DO NOT KNOW WHY. TALKED TO MERCEDES BENZ OF SAN ANTONIO, TX. THEY SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING AND SAID IT WOULD BE A $130 DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE TO ANALYZE THE PROBLEM. WAS INFORMED AT TIME OF PURCHASE OF VEHICLE IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCK KEYS IN VEHICLE UNLESS LOCK BUTTON IS DEPRESSED ON KEYLESS START KEY FOB. THIS IS A MFG DEFECT IN MY OPINION AND MB OF USA NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE A DEATH OCCURS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TWICE I'VE HAD THE ISSUE WHERE NONE OF MY LIGHTS WORK WHILE I'VE BEEN DRIVING. NOT SURE ABOUT THE HEADLIGHTS, HOWEVER BOTH TIMES I HIT MY TURN SIGNAL TO TURN (DOESN'T MATTER RIGHT OR LEFT) AND THERE IS NO INDICATOR VISIBLE ON MY DASHBOARD. ALSO THERE IS NO TICKING/SIGNALING NOISE. WHEN I'VE PULLED OVER AND HAD MY PASSENGER GET OUT AND LOOK AT MY REAR OR FRONT TURN SIGNALS NOTHING WORKS, PERIOD. I DID MENTION THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP THE FIRST TIME AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. I'VE NOT BOTHERED A 2ND TIME SINCE THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING THE FIRST TIME. TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE; I HAVE TO POWER MY CAR OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS, THEN START MY ENGINE BACK UP. BOTH TIMES THIS HAS SOLVED MY TURN SIGNAL ISSUE. NOT SURE IF MY FLASHERS HAVE THE ISSUE OR NOT WHEN THIS HAPPENS. KNOWING ME I WOULD THINK I WOULD HAVE CHECKED IT, HOWEVER I CAN'T RECALL. *JS

I WAS BACKING MY VEHICLE INTO A SPOT ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AND WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN "DRIVE" TO PULL FORWARD, THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD . I SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES AND WHEN THE CAR KEPT ON GOING, I PRESSED THE PARKING BRAKE AND PUT THE CAR IN "PARK". THE CAR ENDED UP JUMPING THE SIDEWALK AND HITTING THE POSTS AND GARAGE OF A HOUSE. I DID NOT PRESS THE ACCELERATOR BY MISTAKE. I DO HAVE A WITNESS WHO WAS ON THE SIDEWALK AT THE TIME WHO WATCHED ME DURING THE ORDEAL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 MERCEDES BENZ GLK 350. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD ABNORMAL NOISE AS THE VEHICLE SUN ROOF SHATTERED INTO SMALL PIECES. THE VEHICLE WAS MANEUVERED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR THE CONTACT TO OBSERVE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,400.

I NOTICED SINCE MONDAY THE 20TH OF JANUARY, THE CAR WHILE DRIVING FORWARD WOULD SUDDENLY GO INTO REVERSE MAKING A GRINDING SOUND. THIS HAPPENED TWICE IN TRAFFIC AND, COULD BE DANGEROUS IF IT HAD HAPPENED IN AN INTERSECTION. IN ADDITION TO THIS MALFUNCTION, IT QUITE OFTEN SLIPS INTO NEUTRAL WHEN I SLOWED FOR ANY REASON; LIKE, TO GIVE WAY OR PREPARING TO GO INTO A PARKING SPACE. THESE MALFUNCTIONS COULD BE DANGEROUS AND, MAY VERY WELL CAUSE MAJOR ACCIDENTS IF NOT CORRECTED. *TR

HELLO, I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE A SAFETY CONCERN AND INCIDENT REGARDING THE SUNROOF OF A NEWLY PURCHASED MERCEDES BENZ 2013 GLK 350 4 MATIC. AS I WAS MAKING MY DRIVE BACK TO VA ON I 85 HEADED TOWARDS COMPERS/ GAFFNEY, NC AT APPROXIMATELY 4:23 PM ON 27 DEC 13, I HEARD A VERY LOUD POP AND SHATTERED GLASS SOUND ON MY RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE. I CAREFULLY MOVED OVER TO THE FAR RIGHT LANE TO SLOW DOWN AND CONDUCTED A QUICK ASSESSMENT OF THE ISSUE. NOTHING SEEMED OUT OF PLACE FROM WHAT I COULD TELL ON THE INSIDE. I HEARD WIND LIKE NOISES FROM ABOVE AND LOOKED UP AND THERE IT WAS. MY SUNROOF HAD SHATTERED. I COULD SEE WHAT APPEARED TO BE LIKE TINY PINHOLES. MY SHADE WAS COVERED SO NO GLASS ENTERED THE CAR. I TOOK PICTURES AT THE NEAREST REST STOP APPROXIMATELY 4.5 MILES UP. I IMMEDIATELY PHONED MERCEDES BENZ ROADSIDE ABOUT THE ISSUE. THE MB ROADSIDE AGENT INFORMED ME TO CHECK TO SEE IF IT WAS DRIVABLE AND TO CALL MB SERVICE OF ALEXANDRIA, VA TO TAKE IT IN SINCE I WAS HEADED BACK. I CONTACTED MY ADVISOR AT MB OF ALEXANDRIA VA ON THE ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR WILL BE DRIVABLE AND TO TAKE IT INTO THEM FIRST THING ON SATURDAY, 09:00, 28 DECEMBER 2013. I STILL HAD APPROXIMATELY 6 HOURS REMAINING OF TRAVEL TIME. AS FAR AS I COULD TELL, THERE WERE NO OTHER ISSUES WITH THE SUNROOF AS IT REMAINED IN TACT FOR THE REMAINDER OF MY TRIP. SO NOW, AS OF SATURDAY, 28 DECEMBER 2013, THE SUV IS AT MB OF ALEXANDRIA. THE SAFETY CONCERN IS THAT THE GLK 350 2013 4 MATIC SUNROOF CAN SHATTER AND CREATE A LOUD POPPING SOUND AS IF A TIRE HAD BLOWN FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHILE DRIVING ON THE HWY AT A SPEED OF 70 MPH WHICH WAS MY APPROXIMATE SPEED ON I-85. MY QUICK THINKING AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT. I RECOMMEND NHTSA TO CONDUCT AN ASSESSMENT REGARDING SUNROOFS SHATTERING ON THE HWY FOR THE MB GLK 350 4 MATIC 2013 MODEL. THANK YOU *TR
