Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The right rear door on my mercedes benz 1999 E320 did not latch completely and opened while driving with my daughter in the back seat next to it. The door appeared closed when we started becuase I always check that the kids have shut the door completely becuase they are hard to close. I stopped the vehicle and jiggled the handle until the latch would work again. A few days later the door would not open from the inside. I took the vehicle to the dealer and was told it was not a safety issue. The dealer fixed the vehicle and indicated that the latch was jammed. …”
