Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I have experienced recurrent but intermittent issues with the transmission/acceleration of my mercedes glc 300 2017. Today, after I went up and then downhill, the car slowed dramatically on its own. When I pushed the gas pedal to the floor, the car did not respond immediately. After several seconds, the car started to accelerate. In the meantime, I was worried I would be rear-ended by traffic behind me. …”
