Example complaints

“While driving the car will shut off randomly at high speeds on the freeway and I will lose steering and my braking abilities. The sbc pump already had been replaced and mercedes has not made any attempt to reimburse me, multiple areas of the wiring harness will crumble in your hand inside the engine compartment, the trunk had pinched wires shorting out and caught fire luckily I had been in the garage at that time to witness and put it out. The car will start up and drive and stall out randomly now at any speeds or even being stopped.”
