“I have mercedes benz GLA 250 year 2015 and the engine light is already appearing in my dash board . I have only driven this car from home to work which is 10-20 miles away.

NHTSA complaint #11203129, filed 2019-04, 50,000 miles“Back door was ajar and there was no warning display to state the door was not closed completely. I was able to pull out of my driveway and the warning did not display until I was driving. Safety issue especially with small children in the back seat.”
NHTSA complaint #10928181, filed 2016-11, 21,000 miles“I was driving at 45mph during day time, in normal slow-traffic conditions on a california freeway, when my panoramic sunroof exploded. Outside temperature was 66f, I was not driving under a bridge and I didn't hear any noise of impact generated by a foreign object. At the time of the explosion I was passing a truck and by the sound of it, I immediately thought that one of the truck's tires exploded. Instead I looked up and my entire panoramic sunroof was in pieces. Luckily the sunshade lining was closed and it protected my face from being exposed to the pieces of broken glass.”
NHTSA complaint #11004296, filed 2017-07, 16,300 miles“The door open warning sign on the dash did not come on until after driving about 100 feet. A backseat passenger fell out of the car as it started to move forward. The driver assumed the back door was closed securely when he started forward because there was no warning light.”
NHTSA complaint #10876225, filed 2016-06, 4,800 miles“When vehicle is parked in a space under power lines the vehicle locking system deactivates and the vehicle will not lock. The vehicle must be moved to a space where there no power lines above the vehicle.”
