Tires: “The contact owns a 2019 Mercedes Benz Metris equipped with Hankook Tires, Tire Line: Ventus S1 Noble, Tire Size: 225/55/R17, DOT Number: (N/A). The contact stated that while driving approximately 70 MPH, the rear driver's side tire experienced a blowout. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who replaced the tire. The contact stated that all the original tires on the vehicle were replaced due to premature treadwear. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 23,000.”

NHTSA complaint #11617821, filed 2024-10, 23,000 miles

Engine: “My 2019 Mercedes-Benz Metris, with approximately 78,000 miles, developed a check-engine light and diagnostic code P052E/P052E71 for a failure involving the positive crankcase ventilation/crankcase ventilation regulator system. I was advised that the repair will cost approximately $3,000 because the failed ventilation component is part of a larger assembly. I am concerned because Mercedes-Benz has acknowledged this same P052E71 crankcase ventilation failure on other Mercedes-Benz models equipped with the M274 engine and has provided extended warranty coverage on certain vehicles. …”

NHTSA complaint #11763551, filed 2026-09

Wheels: “This recall was issued on July 7, 2022, nearly 6 months ago. The recall involves a sticker. This vehicle is rented out on Turo. Turo delisted this vehicle due to this open recall costing us over $1,000 in lost rental income for our business. Payments on this van are nearly $800/month. This is causing enormous financial pressure on our business with no end in sight. We do not believe it should take 6+ months to replace a sticker. Additionally, the VIN plate on this van is nothing more than a sticker on the dashboard. The VIN plate was damaged when the windshield was replaced last July. …”

NHTSA complaint #11500257, filed 2023-01

Brakes: “THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH ELECTRONICS STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) WHICH INCLUDES CROSSWIND ASSIST. THE CROSSWIND ASSIST IS THE SOURCE OF THE SAFETY PROBLEM. The crosswind assist will engage in strong crosswinds and in certain road conditions such as a dip in the road or an off camber dip it immediately brake one side or the other causing the vehicle to quickly and unexpectedly lurch to one side or the other. I've experienced this multiple times and it has the potential for causing serious accidents. I communicated this complaint to my Mercedes service tech. …”
