Example complaints

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

“We leased a 2018 mercedes E300 exactly one month ago. For our test drive we took a short trip taking all right turns. Since we have had the car my wife has had serious visibility problems looking to the left, especially at 4 way stops. She has had 2 very close incidents at these stops, the latest near collision just yesterday. She is short (5 ft.) and the seat does not raise high enough. As a result, when she gazes to the left there is a large blind spot created by the side view mirror. …”
