Engine: “The car has a eco system which makes the engine stop when you come at complete stop to save fuel. When the incident happened, the car started with a huge jerk as if the gear box is broken. Now it is giving two difference messages: 1. Auxiliary battery malfunction 2. Pre-safe functions limited (see operator's manual) the car is jurking heavily. I took it to mercedes dealer in pleasanton, ca. The service agent asked me if I bought the vehicle from them. …”

NHTSA complaint #10733426, filed 2015-07, 38,420 miles

Brakes: “Brake lines are rusted and corroded. It appears that the rust may have spread from rust on the rear subframe. The rear subframe warranty was extended for premature rust and failure, but the brake lines are not covered. This could have led to a dangerous situation. I've never had a vehicles brake lines rust like this. They should also extend the warranty coverage to cover rusted brake lines.”
