Example complaints

Wheels: “I own a 2019 Mercedes AMG C43. I had 2 cracked rims which the insurance company claims that it is a manufacturers defect and not due to hitting holes in the road. The city of Chicago, where I reside, has many pothole problems. Which can be tough to avoid. After reading Mercedes Benz forums and finding there are many people having issues with these rims cracking. Most of my driving is in the city and not high speed but others have reported that the rims have cracked during highway driving and they have had tire losses as well. …”

NHTSA complaint #11478570, filed 2022-08

Transmission and drivetrain: “Was stopped at red light. When it turned green, pulled up waiting for traffic to clear for a left turn; once traffic cleared, attempted to accelerate through turn but vehicle would not move. Moved foot back to brake then to gas, still no moved. Tried to confirm vehicle was in drive, noticed message on instrument panel transmission failure . Vehicle would not shift into or out of any gear, and would not move. Shut off vehicle and restarted, vehicle then shifted and moved normally. Was able to clear intersection.”

NHTSA complaint #11204150, filed 2019-04, 1,000 miles

Electrical system: “The vehicle exhibits an intermittent, severe electronic-hydraulic transmission control defect where it completely rejects gear shifts from Park (P) to Drive (D), or forcefully defaults back into Park upon operation. The servicing dealership's diagnostic tear-down confirmed an internal failure of the mechatronic valve body and the integrated park solenoid at only 62,141 miles. …”
