Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I backed the car out of the garage at my condominium building in sarasota and placed the car in park to remove something from the windshield (I believed the car was in park -- but it could have failed to engage it or I possibly nicked it on my way out of the car). I started to move out of the car, while my right foot was on the brake -- about 90% of my body weight was out of the car and then I took my right foot off the brake. …”
NHTSA complaint #10550105, filed 2013-10, 30,000 miles“I was pulling into a parking spot at my health club. As I was about to stop, my vehicle suddenly and violently accelerated going into the curb, up a dirt berm and over some very large boulders. I never made it over the berm because the car got lodged onto of a large rock. When it was over, it took a couple of seconds, I know that my foot was pushing hard on my brake. However, I doubt that would have stopped the car. I will report this to mercedes benz, have it checked, but I am not optimistic they will find anything wrong.”
NHTSA complaint #10439321, filed 2011-12, 24,000 miles“When accelerating hard, the car looses all power and goes into 'limp mode'. This is a extremely dangerous position to be in. If you're on the highway with a cement wall right next to you and everyone is going well over 80 and you loose all power, you're a sitting duck. There is no way to make it across 4-6 lanes to pull over, turn off the car and wait 20 seconds to reset and start again. I have seen many complaints on forums and mercedes is denying the issue. It's a well known issue and needs to be recalled and fixed. This issue has been going on for 4 years now and no help from mercedes. …”
NHTSA complaint #11203617, filed 2019-04, 70,000 miles“The turn signal lever and cruise control lever are too close together and dangerous. Activated cruise control too many times in error. Not good engineering. To correct it they can take out the current cruise lever and put in a shot stubby one or extend the turn signal lever which would be harder as it controls the w/s wipers also. It can be corrected and needs immediate attention. Going to result in a serious problem from accidents. Needs immediate attention!!!!recall necessary. When it happens car speeds up!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
