Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“When the supplemental restraint system light (srs) came on I was told the harness under the seat had to be replaced at considerable cost. I had it repaired an a short time later it came on again. I am told again I have a faulty harness and again I must do the same repair at my expense. This is not safe and mercedes takes no responsibility.”

NHTSA complaint #10826116, filed 2016-02, 35,000 miles

“Srs light comes on. Had vehicle scanned and appears to be the passenger side air bag but doesn't say which one. After deleting the code, the light stays off until someone rides with me. Once they get out the light comes on. The digital ring on the dash that is associated with the cruise control flashes in sections and intermittently. Cannot find any code or reason for this problem anywhere. Not internet and no code stored.”

“The srs (supplemental restraint system) light came on and a message saying there was a fault and the vehicle needs to be taken to the workshop. I took it to the dealer and was told the wiring harness in the driver seat needs replaced. This harness is connected to the side air bag located in the driver seat. The estimate to replace the harness is $850. The mechanic at the mb dealer said the wires wear away from seat movement over the years and now need replaced. This should not happen. …”

The contact stated while driving 10-15 MPH and making a turn, the contact became aware of an abnormal sound, and the driver's side roof air bags and driver's side door air bag inadvertently deployed. The contact was able to drive to the residence. The contact's neighbor later informed the contact that the rear driver's side tire was flat. The contact inspected the tire and noticed a blowout of the sidewall. The vehicle was towed to Costco, where the tire was replaced. …”
