Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Few miles driven and a squeaking noise from under the windshield do not allow to drive with necessary serenity. After 5 intervention on the car finally they solved the problem, replacing 3 times the plastic cover under the windshield, one time completely replaced the windshield. Now that the winter and cold temperatures are back the noise is back again. Unbelievable for a Mercedes-Benz.”
