Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Mercedes claimes that the Metris is able to tow 5000lbs. We bought the vehicle new with the tow package factory installed. Mercedes never disclosed the fact that it's wiring harness included in the package does not operate electric trailer brakes and that no factory or third party option is available. We almost had an accident due to our inability to stop quickly enough. Thats how we found out that the factory installed trailer wiring harness does not operate electric brakes. Mercedes should have warned us about this issue. …”
