Example complaints

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

“08/13/2018 when I was driving home today steering and brakes failed for like 1-2 minutes and I lost control.. Then all the instrument warning lighting started to flash continually the temp gauge and RPM was in motion. Srs and all pre safe functions malfunctioned I can send an video of this if there is a way to upload. I think this is a serious safety issue what if I lost control on a highway, even for a split seconds. Why I bought a mercedes I thought its a safer car well that's how they advertise it the best or nothing. But that couple of minutes was scary and shocking for me”

NHTSA complaint #11119760, filed 2018-08, 36,000 miles

“While driving on a side street looking for an address, a warning message appeared something like lane guidance system inoperative . Subsequently, the engine lost power and would not move the vehicle more than about 3 MPH. We pulled off to the side, not knowing what to do. I shut off the engine and restarted it and it appeared to work normally for the rest of the trip home. We wonder what would have happened if we had been in a middle lane on a freeway when this happened. I plan on contacting the dealer today for more information and to have them inspect the car.”

NHTSA complaint #10702888, filed 2015-03, 1,100 miles

“Cruising at 65 MPH the ESC lights came on and the car lost power. It no longer responded to the accelerator and required that you pull off the road, come to a stop, and restart the car. This same problem has happened 3 more times once at 35 MPH on a straight road; once at about 20 MPH making a turn and again cruising on an expressway at ~50 MPH. This is an extremely dangerous defect, since a failure of this type when entering a highway or trying to overtake another vehicle could cause a high speed accident, resulting in serious injuries or fatalities. …”
