2020050005-Modificationto emission control system cause:F Was informed of the Mercedes-Benz Recall for 2015 250 GLK BlueTec which I took to Dothan, AL Mercedes-Benz Dealership to have done for my safety. The car was not repaired correctly. It started to smoke a gray smoke coming up from under the car on the passenger side of the car over the front tire. I do have pictures. It smells as if it is about to catch on fire. The car never had any problems before this botched repair. Now they say they cannot find the problem. I’m afraid to drive it until they do. Each time they return it, the smoke is worse.

The contact owns a 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLK350. The contact received a recall notification for NHTSA Campaign Number: 2020100005 (replace Takata passenger-side module Air Bags) however, the dealer informed the contact that the part for the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair? The manufacturer was notified of the issue but did not provide any assistance. The vehicle was in an act of nature accident with a deer. The severe frontal impact damage didn't deploy the airbags. this is a major safety concern with the sensor electrical system, and the already RECALL airbags. The customer is receiving no resolve according to the NHTSA department approve lawsuit settlement claim filed.

Takata Recall. The contact owns a 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLK350. The contact received a recall notification for NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V010000 (Air Bags) however, the dealer informed the contact that the part for the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the issue but did not provide any assistance. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

My car goes abruptly into park while driving or reversing at 5 mph or less. This is a big safety concern if it ever suddenly stalls in a highway, I may get into a life threatening accident. There are no warning or sensor lights that light up when this happens. I have taken it to the Mercedes Benz dealer who said it was a shift module error which I paid to fix and not even two weeks later the same problem persisted.

The driver's side seat failed. Due to a seat electrical harness failure the seat became stuck and neither the seat seatback or headrest could be moved. I could comfortably still reach steering wheel and pedals but my wife could not safely do so. The car has approximately 36k miles on it. I paid to repair this $831 negotiated down from $1600+. This is a pressing NHTSA issue because on the repair invoice the technician noted that a 40 amp fuse had been installed in a 30 amp socket. Presumably it came from the factory in this condition. The car has only been serviced by MBZ dealers - 2, palm springs and sandiego- and to my knowledge no one has touched the fuses or box. The electrical system from the factory is running 40 amps on a circuit designed for 30. This is a manufacturing or design defect which will likely as here, cause failure and could possibly at least to my non electrical engineer's mind cause fire.

When driving, the steering wheel locks and I can no longer steer the vehicle, it locks in a way that I cannot move the steering wheel at all, which may cause me to crash if I am at a dead end road and need to turn. I have been trying to contact the manufacturer for resolution but have not received any responses. This was a recall back in 2017 under NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V-595 for 2015-2017 Mercedes Benz cars, with the component of Steering/Electric Power Assist System. I am not sure why my car is not listed in the recall since it does have this issue.

My car shifts from Drive into Park when I'm moving less than 5 miles an hour, so I've been trapped (momentarily) taking turns, in intersections, in traffic.

CAR PUTS ITSELF IN PARK WHILE COMING TO A STOP WHEN IT'S SNOWING/RAINING/ IN THE CAR WASH, ALL WARNING LIGHTS AND ELECTRIC POWER STEERING GO OFF.

SMALL QUANTITY OF SPILLED LIQUID CAUSES SHUTDOWN OF ENGINE AND FUEL ECM. OVER $2200 TO REPAIR (REPLACING FUEL PUMP! AND ECM!), BUT THE REAL ISSUE IS THE IMMEDIATE DISABLING OF THE VEHICLE IN TRAFFIC CAN EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS COULD BE PREVENTED BY A LITTLE COVER OR EPOXY OR CAULK. THIS MODULE WAS KILLED BY A SPILL IN THE CARGO AREA WHICH CAN BE CAUSED BY A KID SPILLING A DRINK IN THE BACK SEAT ALSO. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS THIS INCIDENT WAS A NEAR MISS WITH MANY VEHICLES AS IT OCCURRED ON A 6 LANE HIGHWAY.

DIESEL EMISSIONS FALSE POSITIVE OR SUSPECT SOFTWARE

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: AFTER RECEIVING YOUR LETTER, I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALER REGARDING THE TAKATA RECALL FOR THE AIRBAGS, AND THE DEALER IN NORTH HOUSTON MERCEDES BENZ MENTIONED THAT RIGHT NOW THE RECALL IS WORKING ON CAR MODELS FROM 2010-2011 WHICH TYPICALLY REPRESENTS A TIME FROM OF MORE THAN 8-MONTHS FOR MY CAR TO HAVE SERVICE REGARDING THIS RECALL. IN AN ATTEMPT TO EXPEDITE THIS PROCESS, WHAT CAN BE DONE TO ENSURE SAFETY FOR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS IN THE MEANTIME. I AM SHOCKED THAT THE SERVICE TIME IS MORE THAN 8 MONTHS BECAUSE IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, THE PROTECTION IS NOT SECURE. WHAT CAN BE DONE TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION WITHIN A SHORTER TIME FRAME?

TAKATA RECALL - MERCEDES I'VE JUST RECEIVED A LETTER STATING MY 2015 MERCEDES GLK 350 HAS OR MAY HAVE A FAULTY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG OR INFLATER RELATED TO TAKATA'S POOR QUALITY STANDARD. I CHECKED WITH MERCEDES AND THEY DON'T FORESEE REPLACEMENT PARTS BEING AVAILABLE UNTIL MAY 2020, WHICH IS WHOLLY UNACCEPTABLE IN SCOPE. I UNDERSTAND THIS RECALL HAS BEEN INITIATED VOLUNTARILY DUE TO TAKATA'S HISTORY AND THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ANY MERCEDES INCIDENTS, HOWEVER IF THE PART IS CONCERNING ENOUGH FOR A RECALL I AM EXTREMELY DISSATISFIED THAT IT COULD TAKE OVER A YEAR TO REMEDY IT AND I COULD BE POTENTIALLY PUTTING MYSELF OR FAMILY AT RISK. I UNDERSTAND THE SCOPE OF THIS ISSUE IS GLOBAL AND OF A NEW SCALE, BUT THAT DOES NOT ABSOLVE MBUSA OF PROVIDING AN EXPEDIENT SOLUTION; ALSO IT SEEMS ALL MANUFACTURERS HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THIS OVER MULTIPLE YEARS-- WHY HAS THERE BEEN SUCH POOR SUPPLY CHAIN ACCOUNTABILITY AND WHY HAVE ALL BRANDS BEEN USING ONLY THE SAME MANUFACTURER FOR CRITICAL LIFE SAFETY? THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE STRINGENT OBSERVATION OF THIS IN THE FUTURE. FURTHERMORE, THIS IS A 2015 VEHICLE, AND MERCEDES INFORMED ME VIA THE PHONE THAT AN INVESTIGATION WAS INSTITUTED IN 2016 BUT NOTHING WAS BORNE OF IT; I AM CONFUSED ABOUT HOW NOW IN 2019 WE ARE REACHING THE POINT OF RECALL WITHOUT AN INCIDENT, AND ALSO SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AFTER 2016 WHY THERE WAS NO MENTION AT ALL OF THIS BEING A POSSIBLE ISSUE. UNACCEPTABLE THAT MANUFACTURERS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SKATE ON THIS ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE BEFORE THE END OF MARCH 2018 ACCORDING TO A LETTER I RECEIVED. THE MERCEDES DEALERSHIP KEPT TELLING ME THAT THE AIRBAGS WERE OK, OR THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE REPLACEMENTS AS YET. I HAD AN ACCIDENT YESTERDAY, SO I WOULD LIKE TO INFORM EVERY OWNER OF THE PROBLEM AIRBAGS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY GET THE NEW ONES WHICH THEY DESERVE.I WAS IN THE CITY, ON A STREET AND ONLY IMPACTED ANOTHER CAR AT ABOUT 5-10 MPH FOLLOWING A TURN ONTO A BUSIER STREET..I SUSTAINED ONLY SUPERFICIAL INJURIES (LACERATIONS, CONTUSIONS & ABBRATIONS), AND DAMAGES TO MY GLK 350. *TT

WHILE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR MY MERCEDES GLK SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 30MPH. THE CAR WAS UNRESPONSIVE AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. A .MESSAGE THAT SAID 'INOPERATIVE SEE OWNERS MANUAL' APPEARED. WE TURNED OFF THE CAR AND IT STARTED UP WITHOUT PROBLEM. WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE THAT WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OVER, AS THERE IS REPAIR WORK BEING DONE AND PART OF THE HIGHWAY DIDN'T HAVE A SHOULDER. WE WERE LUCKY THAT WE WERE NOT HIT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.

ON JUNE 16,2017, WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON FREEWAY, I TRIED TO SLOWED DOWN BUT IT TURNED OUT TO ACCELERATE SUDDENLY AT AROUND 85MPH, THE STEERING SYSTEM WAS MESSED UP AND I LOST CONTROL OF MY CAR , THE MORE I TRY TO BRAKE THE FASTER THE CAR CRASHED , SO IT CRASHED TO THE RIGHT SIDE AND ROLLED OVER DOWN TO THE DITCH , I CALLED 911 AND UNFORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO SIGNAL, I COULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR NOR WINDOW. THE SMOKE CAME OUT FROM INSIDE AND THE CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE , I COULD HAVE BEEN BURNT TO DEATH ALIVE WITHOUT PEOPLE PASSING BY , THEY USED A BIG ROCK TO BREAK THE WINDOW AND PULLED ME OUT OF THE CAR, TWO MINUTES LATER , THE CAR EXPLODED AND BURNT TO GROUND. THIS IS A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE , PEOPLE LIKE ME SPENT SO MUCH MONEY ON PURCHASING SUCH AN EXPENSIVE CAR WITH EXPECTATION TO BE SAFER IN DRIVING , BUT WHEN IT COMES TO CAR ACCIDENT , THERE ARE STILL SO MANY FLAWS WHICH COULD HAVE LED TO WRONGFUL DEATH , THIS MAKES ME FEEL FRUSTRATED AND I CALLED MB LONG BEACH AND BEVERLY HILLS , THEY JUST SHOWED INDIFFERENT AND IT'S NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS . I'M NOW VERY DISAPPOINTED AND I HOPE THERE WON'T BE ANY VICTIMS LIKE THIS . I WAS THE EXCEPTION AND I HOPE PEOPLE DRIVING MB GLK350 COULD BE LUCKY ENOUGH . MB OWES ME AN EXPLANATION AND INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT , MAYBE A RECALL IF NECESSARY FOR THE SAFETY OF CONSUMERS .

MY MB GLK 35 CRASHED AT A HIGH SPEED AROUND 80 MPH,IT BURNT TO GROUND . I WOULD HAVE BEEN BURNT ALIVE WITHOUT PEOPLE USING A BIG ROCK TO BREAK THE WINDOW AND PULLING ME OUT . DUE TO THE STEERING AND ENGINE MALFUNCTION , MY CAR CRASHED AND I COULDN'T OPEN THE DOOR NOR WINDOWS . THIS IS HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE , MERCEDES BENZ NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE THIS ACCIDENT AND I DON'T WANT MORE VICTIMS LIKE THIS .

FOR LAST 2 MONTHS AND CONTINUING ON, THE 'ESP INOPERATIVE' MESSAGE POPS UP FREQUENTLY, EVEN WHEN THE WEATHER AND ROAD CONDITIONS ARE WARM, DRY AND CLEAR. WHEN IT OCCURS, THE CAR SEEMS TO LOOSE ACCELERATION (POWER) AND SLOWS DOWN (RATHER VERY QUICKLY ON ROADWAY SLOPING UP). PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL WOULD NOT SPEED UP THE CAR IMMEDIATELY; IT WOULD AFTER A WHILE. WHEN THIS OCCURS, I PULL OVER THE CAR AND TURN IT OFF & ON TO GET RID OF THE 'ESP INOPERATIVE' MESSAGE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON HIGH SPEED EXPRESSWAY AS WELL. IT FELT VERY DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE SINCE A TRUCK WAS APPROACHING CLOSELY BEHIND. I WAS FORTUNATE TO PULL OVER ON THE SHOULDER AND TURN OFF/ON THE CAR. THIS APPEARS TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH A FAULTY PART, SENSOR OR SOFTWARE THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY THE CAR MANUFACTURER. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW IN OCTOBER 2014 AND IT CURRENTLY HAS 5940 MILES. IT WAS SERVICED BY DEALERSHIP IN OCTOBER 2015 FOR 12-MONTH MAINTENANCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 MERCEDES BENZ GLK250. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 500.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30.

DRIVING BACK FROM VACATION LAST SATURDAY, ON THE PENNSYLVANIA TURNPIKE, OUR MOTOR SHUT ITSELF OFF. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING, USING CRUISE CONTROL, GOING STRAIGHT, WITH THE "ECON" BUTTON TURNED OFF. LUCKILY TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT AND WE WERE ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP OFF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FREEWAY WITHOUT MISHAP. MY HUSBAND TURNED THE KEY OFF, WAITED ABOUT A MINUTE, THEN STARTED THE ENGINE AGAIN. THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON, BUT OUR MOTOR STAYED ON, AND WE DROVE HOME WITHOUT ANY MORE PROBLEMS. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH OUR M.B. DEALER TO HAVE THE CAR SERVICED ON THIS COMING FRIDAY, OCT. 2ND., EXPLAINING WHAT HAD OCCURRED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OUT SOMETIME ON MONDAY, SEPT. 28TH. AND HASN'T COME ON AGAIN, BUT IF THE ENGINE DIES AGAIN AT A MORE INOPPORTUNE TIME IT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS, POSSIBLY FATAL, CONSEQUENCES. I AM VERY CONCERNED. BEFORE THIS FAILURE OUR CAR'S MOTOR HAS RUN SMOOTHLY WITH NO PROBLEMS. HOPEFULLY OUR DEALER WILL BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE CAUSE WHEN THEY CHECK OUR ONBOARD COMPUTER.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT ~65MPH IN HER NEW 2015 GLK350 W/ PANORAMIC & 4MATIC & ~7000 MILES. IT WAS 7:00PM IN VERY LIGHT TRAFFIC. NO ONE WAS NEAR HER AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT. SHE HEARD A VERY LOUD STARLING BANG. AT FIRST SHE THOUGHT A TIRE HAD BLOWN. SHE THEN HEARD FAINT CRACKLING NOISE ABOVE HER HEAD. THE SUN SHADE WAS CLOSED SO NO GLASS DROPPED INTO THE CABIN AREA. WITHIN MINUTES SHE NOTICED THAT THE SUNROOF HAD SHATTERED. NOTEWORTHY POINT, THE SUNROOF GLASS WAS BROKEN CONVEX. SO, IT WAS SLIGHTLY POUCHED UPWARD, WHICH WE THOUGHT WAS UNUSUAL. I TAPED THE SUNROOF AND BROUGHT IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER THE NEXT DAY. THE DEALER SAID SHE HIT SOMETHING AND THAT'S WHAT CAUSED THE ISSUE. I MENTIONED THAT THEIR WAS NO ONE ELSE AROUND AND THEIR WERE LOTS OF INTERNET REPORTS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS. HE SAID YOU CAN FIND ANYTHING ON THE INTERNET. MY COST TO REPLACE SUNROOF WAS $2500 USING MY INSURANCE, OR $1500 WITH A DISCOUNT IF I WAS PAYING FOR IT MYSELF. I'M NOT SURE WHY THERE WAS 2 DIFFERENT PRICES. AFTER RESEARCHING THE SAFERCAR.GOV SITE, I FOUND APPROX. 9 CASES OF LATE MODEL MERCEDES WITH A VERY SIMILAR ISSUES. THERE'S ALSO NUMEROUS ARTICLES AND NEWS STORIES INCLUDING OTHER CAR MANUFACTURERS ON THE NET WITH THE SAME SUNROOF ISSUES. THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE HERE.

WHILE EXITING THE HWY THE CAR SLOW DOWN ON ITS OWN FROM ABOUT 60 TO AROUND 45 WITHOUT BREAKING. INOPERATIVE SEE OWNER'S MANUAL APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE CAR STARTED LOOSING POWER. WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE IT DID WOULD NOT SPEED UP PASS 50. AFTER COMING TO A TRAFFIC LIGHT I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AND IT WAS VERY SLOW EVEN WHEN THE PEDAL WAS ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONE ON THE ROAD AT THE TIME. I PUMP THE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES TRYING TO SPEED UP AND IT WOULD NOT GO PASS 55-60 DESPITE PRESSING THE GAS TO THE FLOOR. AFTER I GOT HOME I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ON THEN DRIVE IT AGAIN, ACCELERATION SEEMED TO COME BACK AND THE LIGHTS WERE NO LONGER ON THE DASHBOARD

WE WERE DRIVING ON NORMAL FREEWAY SPEED ALONG INTERSTATE 5 SOUTH APPROACHING FORT TEJON TOWARDS LOS ANGELES WHEN SUDDENLY THE DASHBOARD DISPLAYED THE MESSAGE " INOPERATIVE. CHECK OPERATOR'S MANUAL". WITH THIS MESSAGE, THE CAR SLOWED DOWN AND ULTIMATELY SHUT OFF ITS POWER ON US. FORTUNATELY, WE WERE ABLE TO SAFELY GLIDE AND DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE ROADSIDE. WITH THE SPEEDING TRAILER TRUCKS AND CARS ON ALL THREE LANES THAT WE HAD TO PASS THROUGH BEFORE SAFELY PARKING THE CAR, IT COULD HAVE COST US OUR LIVES. PLEASE OPEN AN INVESTIGATION TO ADDRESS ANY DEFECT ON THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. THANK YOU. *TR

ALSO, THERE WAS A RECURRING TICKING NOISE THAT PRECEDED AFOREMENTIONED ISSUES THAT I ALSO REPORTED. DEALERSHIP REPAIRED LOOSE PIN IN ENGINE ECU (P045100) FOR THE CEL AND REPLACED A HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FOR THE TICKING NOISE. TICKING NOISE CONTINUED AND VEHICLE RETURNED TO DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY DETERMINED THE TICKING NOISE WAS RELATED TO THE DASH/RADIO/AC CONTROL PANEL/DASH TRIMMING MOVING AGAINST EACH OTHER BUT INDICATED THAT THIS WAS NORMAL (3778 MILES) . THE ISSUE RELATED TO THE MDI AND CEL OCCURRED AGAIN ON 01/25/2015. AS WITH THE INITIAL OCCURRENCE, THE CEL REMAINED ON AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO STALL WHILE I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHEN DRIVING A FEW HOURS LATER. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY. I NOTICED THAT THE CAR DROVE VERY SLUGGISHLY. FOR EXAMPLE, THE CAR WOULD HARDLY ACCELERATE REGARDLESS OF HOW FAR DOWN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AFTER ATTEMPTING TO CONTINUE FROM THE RED LIGHT. I RECALLED THIS HAPPENING WITH THE FIRST OCCURRENCE BUT THEN THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING I WAS DOING INCORRECTLY. THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE AND AS I DROVE APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES TO MY FINAL DESTINATION. THE ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON WHEN I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AT 10:40 AM (4017 MILES). OUT OF CONCERN, AND ADVICE FROM FAMILY MEMBERS GIVEN WHAT HAPPENED WHEN DRIVING AT A HIGH SPEED, I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL AUTO STORE TO SEE IF THEY COULD DETERMINE ANY FAULT CODES. A CODE OF P2138 WAS RETURNED. *TR
