Example complaints

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

“While stopped at a red light, my 2020 Mercedes-Benz A220 unexpectedly shut off and shifted into Neutral without warning. All warning lights illuminated on the dashboard, and a message instructed me to release the brake and restart the engine. The vehicle restarted, but this has now happened twice.

“The first incident: upon departing from our location and pulling out onto the highway, the car's check engine light appeared, and immediately went into limp mode.

Being that this incident occurred very suddenly, oncoming traffic was forced to go around us, thus placing us unnecessarily in harm's way. …”

NHTSA complaint #11541786, filed 2023-08

“My 2020 Mercedes-Benz A220 experienced the same defect described in NHTSA Recall 21V961000 (fuel injector leakage and potential fire hazard). In March 2023, my vehicle was diagnosed with leaking fuel injectors that were causing fuel to leak back through electrical connections, creating circuit issues and a fire risk. I paid $2,902.65 out-of-pocket at a certified service center to have all four OEM fuel injectors replaced (invoice available). Later, I took my car to a Mercedes-Benz dealership, where they performed additional work on the fuel injector system at no cost to me. …”
