Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I slowed down to make a turn and the car would not accelerate. It appeared to be stuck in high gear and did not shift back down to a low gear. This happened twice over a 3 week period. Both times I almost caused a traffic accident by being stuck in the middle of the road. I took the car to the mb dealer and was told it was the conductor plate sensor board that controls the transmission. The fix was $1300 to replace the unit.”

The car shutdown before I was able to get the car completely in the lane. I waited and attempted to restart the vehicle. The car restarted and I moved off the exit. As soon as I exited, the car stopped accelerating again, and shutdown in motion. …”
NHTSA complaint #10733661, filed 2015-07, 120,000 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.

Not internet and no code stored.”

There is no on/off control for the m-b cruise control. The 'stalk' type lever is 'always active' and ready to engage the cruise control. It is all too easy to confuse the cruise control lever with the turn signal lever due to their proximity. …”
