Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The exhaust actuators were determined bad and replaced now at 47,000miles they are bad again and not warrantied as the state I reside in does require emissions control inspection and mercedes is aware there is a defect this should prompt a recall. I have tried unsuccessfully to resolve this matter with mercedes.”
