I WAS DRIVING ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK TODAY 2/3/2017 AND I WAS MERGING ONTO HIGHWAY WHEN I HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION. I THEN SAW THAT MY SUNROOF HAD SHATTERED AND WAS BOWED OUT. THERE IS A LARGE HOLE IN THE CENTER OF THE SUNROOF AND THE REST OF THE GLASS IS SPIDERWEBBED. NOTHING HAD HIT MY CAR OR MY SUNROOF. I WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 15 MPH AS I WAS STILL ON A ON RAMP. IT WAS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. I CALLED MERCEDES WHO IS NO HELP. THEY NEED TO RECALL THIS OR BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO CRASH OR IF MY SUNROOF COVER WAS OPENED I WOULD HAVE BEEN SHOWERED IN GLASS.

I PURCHASED MY MB GL450 IN 2010 AND AT THAT TIME IT WAS COVERED AS A PRE-OWNED MB VEHICLE. UNDER THE WARRANTY, I HAD THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION FIXED TWICE. ONCE ON FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT. AFTER THE WARRANT EXPIRED, I HAVE HAD TO DO BOTH SIDES OF MY SUSPENSION AGAIN. NOW THE FRONT LEFT HAS FAILED AND NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED. I HAVE READ MY BLOGS AND POSTS ABOUT THIS MB SUSPENSION DEFECT AND WANT HOPE THE NHTSA CAN PUSH MB TO ISSUE A RECALL TO FIX THIS FAILED PRODUCT.

WE HAD TROUBLE TOWING OUR TRAVEL TRAILER, WE LOOKED UNDER OUR CAR AND THE WELD WAS BROKEN ON OUR HITCH. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEIR INSPECTION CONFIRMED IT WAS A "BAD WELD".THEY WANT US TO PAY $900 TO FIX. THIS IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND HITCH THAT WAS RECALLED IN 2007 AND 2008, SO MERCEDES CONTINUED TO USE THE SAME HITCH AND WELD IN YEAR 2009 AND NOW IT HAS FAILED AFTER 4 TIMES TOWING. THE RUST ON OUR PICTURE INDICATES THE WELD HAD FAILED MUCH PRIOR TO US REALIZING IT.

IT'S TAKING TOO LONG TO GET THESE AIRBAGS REPLACED! NEWS REPORTS CONTINUE TO REPORT ON INJURIES AND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO GET FIXED AND TAKATA IS NOT ABLE TO MEET THE DEMAND WHILE THEY CONTINUE TO PRODUCE NEW AIR BAGS FOR NEW CARS? WHERE IS NHTSA PRIORITIES HERE? I HAVE 4 CARS THAT ALL NEED REPLACING AND MY 3 DRIVERS IN THE HOUSE ALL FEEL UNSAFE! FEDERAL GOV SHOULD INSIST ALL MANUFACTURING EFFORTS ON BEHALF OF TAKATA GO INTO REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS AND NOT NEW CAR PRODUCTION! ONE PISSED OFF CAR OWNER/TAX PAYOR

I PURCHASED TIRES IN JANUARY 2015 , IN OCTOBER 2015, MY SIGNALL DISPLAYED CHECK TIRE PRESSURE. I HAD THE TIRE INSPECTED AN ROTATED AT PLACE OF PURCHASE. WITHIN WEEKS MY TIRE WAS COMPLETELY FLAT. I STOPPED AT THE NEAREST STATION AND WAS TOLD I HAD A CRACK IN THE INNER SIDE WALL. ON 10/15/2015 I RETURNED TO THE PLACE I PURCHASE THE TIRES. I EXPLAINED THAT I BELIEVED, THAT MY TIRE IS FAULTY. THE MERCHANT TOLD ME " YOU MUST HAVE HIT SOMETHING, IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME ".. I EXPLAIN TO HIM THAT I DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING, I HAD THE TIRE INSPECTED BY ANOTHER TIRE PLACE AND IT WAS STATED, THE TIRE HAS TO BE FAULTY, BECAUSE WHERE THE CRACK IS SEEN, INNER SIDE WALL. I SAID TO MERCHANT, IF I HAD RUN OVER SOMETHING IT SHOULD DAMAGE TO THE PART OF THE WHEEL THAT TOUCHES THE SURFACE.. MY WHEEL WAS PLUGGED IN THE MEAN TIME. THE SELLER OF THIS TIRES REFUSE TO REPLACE THE TIRE. HE SAID HE WOULD SELL ME A NEW TIRE FOR $389. PLUS TAX.. I HAVE A WARRANTY ON THE TIRES, IF THE TIRE CRACKED ON THE INNER SIDE WALL , WHY AREN'T THEY BEING HELD RESPONSIBLE? DO I HAVE TO HAVE A BLOWOUT ON THE HIGHWAY, WAIT FOR AN INVESTIGATION; AND THEN FIND THAT ALL COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED; IF THE MERCHANT HAD BEEN HONEST? HAD I BEEN A MALE, THIS SITUATION WOULD HAVE BEEN SETTLE WITH A HAND SHAKE!! I FIND THIS TO BE OUTRAGEOUS.. HOW MANY OTHER'S WILL THIS HAPPEN TO? HIS SUGGESTION THAT I SHOULD JUST BUY A NEW TIRE FROM HIM IS, DISHONORING THE WARRANTY , ONLY TO HAVE ANOTHER CRACK SURFACE IN 6-8 MONTHS...
