Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Since the time I purchased this car, the brakes have repeatedly made loud squealing noises. Mercedes has repeatedly examined the car and told us it is fine and not dangerous. They have never fixed the noise. However, more recently in december 2019, the car developed a strong fuel order in both the cabin and outside the vehicle.

The smell is very strong, and I am scared to drive this vehicle. …”
