“I was driving to meet a friend for lunch. I came up upon a stop light that was already red and I would have been the third car in line. I came to what I thought was a stop. I was about a car length or more behind the car in front of me. Next thing I know, I hear a loud bang as my car had accelerated into the car in front of me with my foot on the brake. That car, in turn, hit the car in front of them. I was very confused. I received a traffic ticket for uncontrolled speed. The policeman thought I was I was crazy when I said that I had come to a stop. …”
NHTSA complaint #11234599, filed 2019-07, 40,000 miles“I have leased GLA 250 mercedes benz while I was driving on the freeway, I felt the gas pedal stop working and the car stopped accelerating with sign of collision prevention assist plus on the carpool lane. I do not understand why this is happening even though there was no car in front of me. I have been a mercedes benz customer past 5 years and I never had this accident. I might have an accident if a car behind me did not stop its car. This is a definitely mechanical problem and I want mercedes benz to take a responsibility and solve this issue. Thank you.”
NHTSA complaint #10711863, filed 2015-04, 2,400 miles“Upon start, got a reverse not possible warning. Tried to drive home, but shifting was very erratic and car slowed dramatically between shifts. On several occasions, cars behind me had to swerve to avoid me. And, if I would have had to reverse out of danger, I would have been in serious trouble. After too many close calls, I stopped to arrange a tow. When I returned to the car to move it, the problem went away. I am afraid to put my family in this car.”
