“I bought a mercedes GL450 about a year ago, is well taken care of ever since I got it, also the reason I purshased this vehicle because I've heard good things from mercedes that it's safe and a reliable vehicle . So I thought and I would've never imagine this vehicle put me my family and I at risk. Starting with the airbag. The sensor keeps on triggering it so its malfunctioned. Also I have an ABS/esp sensor on as well. So as I am driving the car the car suddenly brakes frequent, there's times that it doesn't at all and the brake system doesn't work at all. Huge red flag!!! …”
