Defect. Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) is recalling certain 2024-2026 AMG GT, C-Class, E-Class, SL, CLE, and GLC vehicles. The infotainment control unit may reset while the vehicle is in motion and cause the instrument panel display to go blank.

I was driving the car in comfort mode. The car jerks forward when downshifting. It also brakes heavily when trying to come to a gradual stop. I was turning right into a driveway, there was another car exiting the driveway, I was braking normally, the car jerked forward during downshifting and the brakes overengaged which caused me to hit the curb while moving up into the driveway. Almost slammed into the other car.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
