Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“There is an error message !'1 malfunction!( displayed at the front digital panel as I chose not to active the !'tele-aid!( program. I was never disclosed by the mercedes dealer for this problem. Mercedes gives one year free of service to active for the 1st year, but the message will start to show again after de-activating it. This misleading error message would seriously cause ignorance of real problems such from engine, mechanics or electronics if the service is de-activated after 1st year. I can foresee my huge liability in the future. …”
