Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“We moved to high altitude (6750 ft elevation). From a stop it takes over three seconds for the vehicle to have proper power to accelerate. It will start to roll, but no real power. I have taken it to the mercedes benz (walter's mercedes of riverside, ca) dealer three times. They refuse to test it at altitude and say they can't duplicate the problem at sea level (of course not). It is a safety issue. I can't pull out onto the highway by myself without fear of being hit because I am unable to properly accelerate.”
