Example complaints
Forward collision avoidance: “While carrying my carbon fiber bicycle on a rear hitch mounted bicycle carrier, the vehicle severely and violently applies the brakes and swerves either left or right or both. This catastrophic maneuver has put me and other drivers in a non avoidable highly calamity. This “AUTO” maneuver happens dozens of times in during a fifteen mile trip to local bicycle trails. Dealer replaced the Trailer Recognition Module 9-24-2025. As expected, dangerous situation remains. Happens every opportunity when carrying bicycles. First exhibited after purchase 6-29-2024 to current.”
NHTSA complaint #11690219, filed 2025-09Body and structure: “The rear lift gate closes unexpectedly when standing behind the vehicle and loading or unloading the cargo area. The keyless soft close activates even though there is no foot movement, or when there is minimal movement. This happens without warning. On several occasions this has happened to me, and also to my wife. It has caused minor bruises, but more importantly we are both older and it has been difficult extricating ourselves and reaching the control to raise the gate again. …”
NHTSA complaint #11749171, filed 2026-07Back-over prevention (rear camera): “New car was purchased from Rocklin Mercedes in California. Soon after the rear back up camera kept opening and closing when the car was in drive and at random times. The was then taken into Autobahn Motors in Belmont California to have the problem checked. I was told Mercedes was working on a software fix at which time the service tech never wrote up the problem. In 2025 the car again was taken into Mercedes for service at which time I brought up the same issue and was told most newer cars have this problem and there is NO fix, even the loaner they gave me had the same problem.”
