“Right passenger air bag warning malfunction light came on 2x within a 3 week period. Second time occurred after I took the car in to fix the issue and dealer claimed issue was fixed. The issue occurred after I started the car and pulled away from a stationary position.”
NHTSA complaint #11207919, filed 2019-05, 2,500 miles“My A220 has numerous problems starting the airbag failure light comes on very often which I took in for a repair - Mercedes of downtown stated they fixed but it still has the airbag failure light appearing every now and again. The second issue that keeps happening is what I believe is a transmission failure, the first time I bought the car I noticed it kept jolting when accelerating and or going up a hill. I was quite scared because I had a ford focus that did the same thing and would die on me all the time. This A220 has the same exact jolting as my ford focus did but does not die. …”
