2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA250 Brakes Problems

“The breaking system has gone out on this car while driving three different times. It's extremely scary and has almost caused an accident each time as there is no warning when the system fails. One minute the car is fine and the next you cannot stop. No way to know it's about to happen until you press the break pedal. The first time we had it fixed from the mechanic he seemed to believe it was a fluke the break booster part went bad so we fixed it. Second time we returned to the same mechanic and he said the entire system failed and replaced all the parts including the booster. …”

“As I was driving on the highway around 65 miles per hour, the vehicle's check engine came up and said inoperative, pre safe inactive I freaked out. I was at highways speeds and it was inoperative. I noticed that the power steering was affected and the vehicle was unresponsive when I accelerated. The ABS system was disabled, I was scared even to brake because I know that when the ABS system is disabled the brakes can lock up and cause an accident, injuries and even death. I have noticed that many CLA250 owners have the same problem.”

This is unacceptable! …”

“I purchased a new new new mercedes cla-250c automobile late september 2013. In mid-october I experienced un-commanded acceleration to above 5500 RPM. This ceased just as I was about to apply braking. The car then behaved normally. On christmas night I experienced un-commanded braking whenever I backed off the accelerator pedal, the force of braking being proportional to the degree of lift-off from the accelerator. I was able to bring the car to a complete stop without touching the brake pedal. At that point I grounded the car. On january 7, 2014 I informed Mercedes-Benz about the above. …”
