“I am writing to raise serious concerns about the run-flat tires installed on my 2014 cla 250. After 12,830 miles, I experienced my first flat tire. After consulting the owner's manual, I learned that I had run-flat (moextended) tires and could proceed (having the ability to drive 50 miles on the flat, according to my manual). I was shocked to learn that this tire, could not be repaired and that my only option was to purchase a new tire. …”

“My tires had less than 15k miles and the tire has a bulge on the sidewall. I mentioned to the dealer and they said that is normal for these tires. It now has 35k miles on the tire and it will not pass virginia state inspection. I now have to buy 2 to 4 new tires due to this defect poor workmanship. The dealership said that this is not covered under road hazard and everyone is telling me it happened going over a pothole. The tire is now dangerous to drive on and can have a blow out at anytime. …”

“Good day, I am attaching photos of a failed rim from my 2014 cla 250. The car has just over 54,000 miles on it and the failure-crack has propagated to where the tire will no longer hold air and car is not safe to drive. This is the 2nd failed rim, the first cracked in a similar fashion at just over 44,000 miles and was replaced by my local mercedes dealer at not charge. They will not replace the 2nd failed rim. While we live in the mid-western USA (chicago area) where the roads are rough and there are potholes, there is no evidence of damage or deformation in the area where this crack formed. …”

NHTSA complaint #11143573, filed 2018-10, 54,384 miles

“Tires lose air all during these 3 yrs that I had this car lease, always at the dealer, I'm afraid for my safety due to the imbalanced tire pressure. Can't make plans to drive it far, afraid tires might cause me to lose control and create an accident!! Many times I can't go right away, because it takes time out of my life.... I work 12 hour days, I bought this luxury car for its name and its reliable , actually it's the opposite because they are not able to fix it!!! Frustrated!!”
