Example complaints

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

“Getting message malfunctioning and compressor cooling down even though changing front struts and making roaring noise when car is idle, and burnt smell inside car.”

NHTSA complaint #11040004, filed 2017-10, 79,255 miles

“Malfunction with the air suspension. The vehicle is currently lowered and will not rise which is causing the tires to sit in a bent position and a horrible ride. The tires appear that they will detach from vehicle which is a safety risk for myself and others. After repairs from someone who presented themselves as a certified Mercedes’ mechanic, the issues still exist. The problems first existed about a year and a half ago, about 6 months after purchasing. I am making payments on a vehicle I am unable to safely drive or use for travel with my family. …”
