NHTSA complaint #11290820, filed 2019-12, 6,500 miles“The car does not detect a properly fastened seatbelt sometimes and the seatbelt will not adjust automatically even when properly fastened. Both driver and passenger side seatbelts are affected. Took the car to the dealership twice for the same problem and the seat belt malfunction continues. In my opinion, this is a major safety issue for drivers since the airbags do not activate when the car is unable to detect that seat belt has been fastened. Please investigate. See repair invoice from dealership that includes the description of the problem and what was done to fix it. …”
NHTSA complaint #11235255, filed 2019-07, 1,100 miles“On May 23, 2023, the audible and visual seat belt alerts activated to notify me that the driver and/or passenger that the seat belt was not properly secured. However, both the driver and/or the passenger had the seat belt on at all times the car was moving. We tried unbuckling then re-buckling to the seat belts to see whether this would affect the alerts, but it did not. We took the car to the Mercedes-Benz dealership on May 31, 2023, but they could not replicate the problem and it resolved on its own. At the time of this first occurrence, our car had 25,053 miles. …”
