Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was driving 580-e and merging onto I-5 s when I hit a humongous pot hole with my left font tire causing it to immediately blow out. That in-turn caused my stability tracking to engage, which caused me to slow down drastically. That caused another vehicle to near miss ramming me in the back and me side swiping another vehicle. I was driving approximately 70 MPH and almost lost control of the vehicle and had to immediately pull over to a very narrow shoulder of the road with my emergency flashers blinking. …”
NHTSA complaint #10958331, filed 2017-03, 21,000 miles“I heard a very big devastating noise while driving my 2015 mercedes benz-C300 on a local road in raleigh, nc at about 40 MPH. Since I did not see any TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system) or any other kind of alert on the screen, I continued to drive. After driving about 2 more miles, I heard another big pop and the car became non-drivable by then. I did not feel hitting any object or going thru a pot hole. That's when I got down the car and noticed the right front tire outer wall got separated from the tire and the the tire was just flat to the ground. I could not, of course, drive further. …”

Brake pads wear out every 30,000 miles back passenger side tire and valve has been replaced 4 times in less than 70,000 miles and still looses air intermittently. Car can be parked or moving.

NHTSA complaint #11286700, filed 2019-12, 27,000 miles“Vibration at high speed around 70 m/h. Vibration during warm up after a cold start. Noise coming out from unknown parts possibly suspension when running over bumps at low speed around 7 m/h.”
NHTSA complaint #10705070, filed 2015-04, 1,000 miles“Every time I start my car it smells like gas and it's so strong to the point where it gives me headaches. Also I was on the freeway and the roads were wet from previous rain and I almost died and hydroplaned on the freeway. Even if it's a small bit of rain my car starts shaking as if I don't have control. I do not feel safe in this car and I just got the car a month ago.”
