MY VEHICLE WAS MOVING THRU INTERSECTION WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE RAN A RED LIGHT. I HIT THE BRAKES, BUT STILL CRASHED INTO SIDE OF OTHER VEHICLE AT 20-25 MPH. MY VEHICLE HAD FRONT END DAMAGE AND WAS A TOTAL LOSS. I WAS WEARING A SEAT BELT, BUT IT DID NOT HOLD ME TO THE SEAT. I HIT THE STEERING WHEEL WITH MY CHEST AND HAD TO GO TO HOSPITAL FOR X-RAYS. ALSO, THE STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE DEALER SAID I WAS NOT GOING FAST ENOUGH TO DEPLOY AIR BAG. THAT IS NOT TRUE. *TR

I was waiting at a light when the message “steering wheel malfunction” can up. I was forced to turn left, which I did with great difficulty as the power assist stop working. I managed to go straight 3 blocks despite the hard steering with my emergency lights on at 5 mph and turn left two short blocks to get home. I was in my car with my two children. If this would have happened in the highway, I am certain that it would have resulted in an accident.

My car's windshield at first started to leak. I took the car to the dealer and was informed that leaky windshields are not covered by the warranty. I took no further action as we were still in a COVID restricted environment and the need for the car was low. As my company started to return to the office I have begun using the car more and have now observed that windshield adhesion to the frame has now deteriorated. The car has approximately 41K miles at which I would not expect the windshield to be unglued. I was also recently made aware that there is a similar problem affecting other MB 2020 vehicles, which I do not find to be a coincidence. My car will now require a full windshield replacement and MB is refusing to discuss it.

Re-Seal Upper Timing Covers of the cylinder head timing covers are seeping. 2016 E350 has less thank 19k on it. The fluids can potentially leak onto the roads causing a hazard, it is also a fire hazard, as well as an environmental issue. This was identified by Revolution Mercedes in Decatur, GA. After reading some forums, I have seen where others are having similar issues and believe this should be addressed.

Started developing (April 2021) a rattle in car's roof along with occasional metal popping sound coming from rear of car. Continued to get worse. Then rattle stopped for a while and so did the metal popping sound. Now ( August, 2021)it sounds like there is a bolt loose in the sunroof area and the metal popping sound is really loud and I think coming from roof. Most of the time when car body twist, like going up a slight incline at an angle when entering a parking lot this incredible loud popping sound resonates throughout the entire car body. Played around on Mercedes website and it appears that Mercedes has problems with sunroof bolts coming loose. This is a safety defect -- if sunroof comes lose at 70 mph it is going to fly off and hurt or kill someone. Also strength of roof is compromised and if have accident where roof protection is needed it will probably fail.

Tires have under 7000 miles. Traveling on I75 in Florida the car started to vibrate. I slowed down and was able to make it to a Mercedes dealership. The mechanic informed me that the cords in both rear tires had separated. I had the tires replaced which were not under any warrantee. I have the same tires on the front of the vehicle which I am very concerned about as the mechanic told me I was lucky the tires didn't explode. 245/40r18.

MY 2016 MERCEDES E-350, WHICH I BOUGHT 2 YEARS AGO AS A CPO VEHICLE FROM A MERCEDES DEALER HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE E-PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER IN MARCH TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED, AND WAS TOLD THE ENTIRE PARKING BRAKE CABLE AND OTHER PARTS NEEDED REPLACEMENT. I ASSUMED THIS WAS A COVERED REPAIR, ESPECIALLY WITH THE EXTENDED WARRANTY GIVEN ON CERTIFIED VEHICLES, AND THE FACT THE CAR IS FAIRLY NEW AND HAS LESS THAN 50,000 MILES. HOWEVER THE DEALER SAID IT IS NOT COVERED BY MERCEDES AND WOULD COST ME OVER $2500 TO REPAIR. I CONTACTED MERCEDES SUPPORT DIRECTLY, BUT THEY WOULD NOT AGREE TO COVER THIS UNUSUALLY AND COSTLY REPAIR, AS THEY CLAIM (INCORRECTLY) THIS IS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR, ALTHOUGH I NEVER HAD A PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM FAIL IN THE PAST ON ANY VEHICLE. THIS RAISES A) SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES AS I CAN NO LONGER USE THE PARKING BRAKE, AND B) MERCEDES SHOULD BE OBLIGATED UNDER THEIR WARRANTY PROGRAM TO COVER THIS TYPE OF REPAIR. LOOKING ONLINE, I SEE OTHERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS, SO THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL AND YEAR OF VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP ME GET MERCEDES TO COVER THIS SAFETY NEEDED REPAIR AT THEIR COST, AS THEY SHOULD BE OBLIGATED.

I HAD A MERCEDES ML350. THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL ON THAT VEHICLE. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SALESMAN TOLD ME THAT THE E400 DID NOT HAVE THE SAME AIRBAGS IN THE CAR AND THAT IT WOULD BE SAFE. I PURCHASED THE NEW VEHICLE AND THOUGHT I WAS SAFE. NOW I HAVE HAD A RECALL FOR THE AIRBAGS AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE. THERE IS NOT A "FIX" FOR MY VEHICLE AT THIS TIME. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE. THAT IS WHY I BOUGHT A NEW VEHICLE. I AM IN THE SAME SITUATION THAT I WAS IN BEFORE THE PURCHASE. THE LETTER CAME OUT IN MARCH AND I SPOKE TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY SAID THAT THEY SHOULD BE GETTING NEW AIRBAGS SOON. THIS IS NOW SEPTEMBER, AND STILL NOTHING CAN BE DONE.
