Example complaints
Body and structure: “Panaramic glass roof exploded while traveling on highway sending glass all over the car and highway. Sounded like a gun shot right above my head. Fortunately the sunshade was closed at the time and I was able to safely exit the highway to clean up the mess and no one was injured but it could have been very dangerous!”

I now have a letter stating that the warranty on this was extended due to a recall that applies to my vehicle. I would like to add that my vehicle is a AMG and shows a different vehicle in your system when I enter the vin number.”
NHTSA complaint #11665055, filed 2025-06Transmission and drivetrain: “Water is getting into my spare tire wheel in the truck, Board is wet and causing moisture in truck. I took my car in as this was a recall and they said they already closed it and they refused to inspect it. This also damages the fuel pump which I just had to replace which is defected as well. Costumer service is really going down with Mercedes.”
