Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Failure of trunk to close evenly. I have been informed this problem is with all the mercedes s600 vehicles and that it cannot be repaired without the installation of a second motor on the other side of the trunk. This will cause water to enter in the trunk, and cause rust to the body of the car.”
