“My mercedes 350 ABS brake system failed and caused very rapid acceleration. I avoided crossing a busy intersection and crashed into a beverly hills lamp post which caused over $25,000.00 damage to the post and my car. Mercedes not accepting any responsibility.”

NHTSA complaint #10291541, filed 2009-11, 13,000 miles

“Bought the car in july 2013 third brake light lens fell off.I checked my brake lights with someone pushing the brake pedal and observed the electrical component dangling loose inside trunk third light space but no cover lens. Didn't notice the lens had fallen off until several strangers tailing me told me. I know there is a brake light issue that is being recalled on a different mercedes model and year. I was thinking that perhaps my vehicle might have the same issue. So I googled this issue and to my disappointment found many more mercedes benz owners had the same problem as me. …”
