“Suspension issues, I just placed 4 new tires on my car in june of 2018. On dec 28, 2019 my car felt as if someone was unscrewing all of my wheels off and I spent out losing control of the vehicle. I am unable to get Mercedes-Benz USA to share ground clearance specification for my vehicle. My car has 100.000 miles. Mbusa directed me to the local dealer but the dealer couldn't find the spec. I was told I would receive a call back and never did. I googled info regarding my issues and saw this site and was like wow.”

NHTSA complaint #11204983, filed 2019-05, 100,000 miles“I first had a tire blow-up in a minor pothole. Got it repaired at the dealership. However, recently I hit another minor pothole in new jersey, and this time, the rim of the wheel cracked! This time I was on the highway with my child in the car seat, and could have gotten into a major accident. I do not think the so called high performance wheels are meant for the us roads. The material seems sub-standard. I have complained to mercedes, but the rep did not seem to care or show any concern. I have kept the damaged rim with me if you'd like to see. Sending pictures also. Thanks.”
NHTSA complaint #10893192, filed 2016-08, 50,000 miles“The component that failed was the front passenger wheel. The safety of others were not affected, however, because of the nature of the incident, the vehicle had to come to a stop in the middle of the highway and then the driver, my husband, was able to pull the car over to the shoulder. My husband originally thought he had a flat because the car was hard to steer, but upon further investigation after removing the front passenger tire/wheel, he noticed that the wheel had a large crack that had broken away from part of the tire. …”
