The driver had skin lacerations from airbag and I dn't know what went off where and have memory loss so the insurance company would be better able to asess.”
NHTSA complaint #11048126, filed 2017-11, 350,000 miles“Same part had been recalled from all other models but not my model. It's the same part being used across Mercedes and they won't sale the valve and force customers like me there are thousands other to spent $2700 plus to replace whole system. Should have been recalled since it's same valve that may be using across all vehicles. Failed the emission test which is a big problem they should have addressed.”
NHTSA complaint #11640785, filed 2025-02“Check engine light on my 2015 MB GLA250 4matic came on and the error is P052E PCV Regulator Valve Performance . There is a recall for other MB vehicle with the same engine. I believe the 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA250 and other models with the same engine should be included in the recall.”
NHTSA complaint #11670346, filed 2025-06“When it first started to malfunction, my car would suddenly loose power out of nowhere and pretty much stop wherever. It's done it when I was crossing a busy intersection and it stalled right in the middle of the road causing other cars to have to stop or go around me. It has also stopped while I was driving on the freeway. I didn't even have enough power or momentum to pull off to a safe lane and almost caused an accident and several times while I was driving up a narrow two way road in the mountains. …”
