“I have had numerous issues with my 2019 A220. At 92k mi my cylinder head had to be replaced. My check engine light came on and they said there was a cylinder head leak. At 108k miles I had to have it replaced yet again because my car lost power driving uphill when shifting between 4th and 5th gear. Now at 112k mi the check engine light came on and sure enough they need to replace all 4 ignition coils… Additionally, I have issues with my air vents. They will frequently send air out of a section I have turned off (ex. turn air on my upper body and it sends air to my feet instead). …”

“For about two years, I have been experiencing problems with my Mercedes Benz, and Mercedes Benz has done nothing to help. The jolting issues on my 2019 Mercedes Benz A220 4 matic have never been fixed. I am afraid to drive because I am a young woman, and I cannot afford to get a new car due to financial issues. I have been without a car for several weeks because they haven't been able to fix the same issue. In addition, I have had to request Mercedes loaner cars consistently when my vehicle is being repaired. I want this to be over and to have my car fixed for good. …”

“On 03/10/23, I contacted the Mercedes-Benz service department regarding the black screen on the driver's side display. The Mercedes-Benz service personnel informed me that the screen needed to be replaced, with an estimated cost of around $2000. I agreed to their suggestion and authorized the replacement. Later, the Mercedes-Benz service personnel contacted me again, stating that the black screen issue was not resolved and recommended replacing the computer mainframe, which would cost over $6500. I refused their suggestion as the cost exceeded what I was willing to pay. …”

“The display screen of the driver's seat was damaged due to the automatic update last month. The dealer told me to replace the display screen for US$2,000. After I agreed to pay, I was told that the central control display screen was broken again and needed to be replaced for nearly US$7,000. I refused the dealer. However, the central control display screen was still good originally. Now the main driver does not have a display screen, and even the central control screen is damaged. The central control screen is damaged due to their operation. How should I protect my rights in this situation?”
