2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA250 Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors) Problems

“Driver left side mirror does not give adequate view of traffic on highway to left of driver. It cannot be adjusted far enough so there is an excessive blind spot. I dare not change lanes to left without turning my head excessively, and this presents a risk when driving at highway speed. This is not the case with the right side mirror. Also, we have a 2012 mercedes c250 and this does not have the problem.”

“I was driving my car on local streets, suddenly I heard a cracking noise from the sunroof. After that I pulled my car aside and notice that there was a small crack on the sunroof. (see attached photos) there was no falling foreign objects, no impact from the weather. I have no clue what is the cause of the day crack. My first reaction was to call the insurance company and find a parking lot to store the car. After I contacted the insurance company and I was on my way to the parking lot, the sunroof shattered completely. Some of the glass piece even fell and caused injury to my wife. …”

“Driving on highway at 70 MPH when I nearly caused a collision because I encroached on another car's space in the next lane to my left. I believe this was due to the fact that the CLA250 driver side mirror does not adequately cover the blind spot and does not provide safe and effective view of the left lane. The mirror is adjusted all the way out but can only see the quarter panel of the CLA250. During my near-collision, I did physically turn my head and shoulders to view the traffic on the left lane (three lane highway). It was clear. …”

“Received the car new in november 2013 and immediately reported that the drivers side view mirror would not adjust to the left enough to adequately see vehicles in the left lane. The blind spot was the largest I have ever seen on any vehicle that I have driven. It would adjust to the right far enough to see the front seats inside the car but would not adjust enough to the left to adequately see the left lane next to the car. The view was of the side of my car and a little of the left lane. In the first two weeks of driving I almost had two accidents when changing lanes on a highway. …”
