“On december 29th while traveling with my family on I-77 north in virginia the metal sunroof wind deflector on my 1998 mercedes ml320 completely and without warning broke off and flew into the path of several automobiles. A major traffic accident was narrowly avoided. My ml320 is well maintained and only serviced by the dealer whom sold me the car.”
