WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH I RECEIVED A RED PARKING BRAKE ERROR AND MY CAR BEGAN TO BE VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER. I THEN PULLED OVER AND RECEIVED A YELLOW PRE-SAFE MODE ERROR WHICH ILLUMINATED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, ABS LIGHT, PARKING LIGHT. I TOOK IT TOOK THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A RIGHT TIRE SENSOR. THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS AND IT'S DEFINITELY NOT SAFE. THIS DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

LAST WEEK ON MARCH 31ST I WENT TO TURN MY VEHICLE ON SINCE I WANTED TO MOVE IT FROM MY PARKING SPOT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO MY GARAGE IN ORDER FOR ME TO GO TO THE GROCERY STORE SHORTLY WITH MY 2 MONTH OLD BABY. AS SOON AS I PUT THE KEY IN THE INGNITION SLOT AND TURN THE KEY I HEARD LIKE A ZAPPING NOISE INSTANTLY AND NOTICED IN A MATTER OF SECONDS SMOKE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE STEERING WHEEL AREA. SORT OF NEAR THE FLOOR OS THE DRIVERS SIDE. I IMMEDIATELY HOP OUT OF THE VEHICLE TO SEE WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND WHERE THE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM AND JUST AS QUICKLY FLAMES STARTED COMING FROM THE SAME AREA AS THE SMOKE. I CALLED 911 AND IN LESS THAN 3 MINUTES THE ENTIRE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WAS IN FLAMES, BURNING DOWN. THE FLAMES THEN BLEW ALL THE WINDOWS AND MOON ROOF TRYING TO ESCAPE THE VEHICLE AND BY THE TIME THE FIRE RESCUE CAME MOST OF THE VEHICLE WAS GONE. I THANK GOD I DIDNT GET TO MOVE THIS VEHICLE AS I HAD ORIGINIALLY PLANNED BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE COST ME MY LIFE AND MY FAMILIES. I OWNED THIS VEHICLE ONLY ABOUT 3 YEARS AND IT NEVER EVER GAVE ME PROBLEMS. ALL OF ITS MAINTANANCE WAS UP TO DATE AND NEVER HAD ANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES OR MAJOR REPAIRS DUE TO ANYTHING. I AM ALMOST CERTAIN THIS WAS A FUSE OR ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO BURST INTO FLAMES DUE TO THE ZAPPING NOISE I HEARD AS THE VEHICLE WAS BEING TURNED ON. I HAD BEEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE PERFECTLY FINE WHICH IS WHY THIS CAME AS A HUGE SURPRISE. I WANT TO MAKE SURE OTHERS ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE SINCE

CARS ECO BUTTON FUSES . ELECTRICAL FUSE . CAR STALLS DOESN'T DRIVE WELL SINCE I BOUGHT IT FROM MERCEDES DEALERSHIP

THE BREAKING SYSTEM HAS GONE OUT ON THIS CAR WHILE DRIVING THREE DIFFERENT TIMES. IT'S EXTREMELY SCARY AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT EACH TIME AS THERE IS NO WARNING WHEN THE SYSTEM FAILS. ONE MINUTE THE CAR IS FINE AND THE NEXT YOU CANNOT STOP. NO WAY TO KNOW IT'S ABOUT TO HAPPEN UNTIL YOU PRESS THE BREAK PEDAL. THE FIRST TIME WE HAD IT FIXED FROM THE MECHANIC HE SEEMED TO BELIEVE IT WAS A FLUKE THE BREAK BOOSTER PART WENT BAD SO WE FIXED IT. SECOND TIME WE RETURNED TO THE SAME MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE ENTIRE SYSTEM FAILED AND REPLACED ALL THE PARTS INCLUDING THE BOOSTER. EXCEPT THIS TIME HE WAS ABLE TO EXCHANGE THE BOOSTER UNDER A PART WARRANTY. NOW IN THE LAST FEW DAYS THE ENTIRE SYSTEM FAILED AGAIN WITH NO EXPLANATION. ALL THREE INSTANCES HAVE HAPPENED IN LESS THAN A YEAR. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN FLAW IN THIS CAR AND IT'S EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. WE GOT LUCKY NOT HAVING AN ACCIDENT AS WELL AS SOME OF THE SECOND AND THIRD REPAIRS BEING UNDER A PARTS WARRANTY. THERE CURRENTLY IS NOT A RECALL WE CAN FIND FOR OUR MODEL BUT IF YOU LOOK UP OTHER MERCEDES MODELS THEY HAVE A BREAK SYSTEM FAILURE RECALL. THIS NEEDS ATTENTION!

AIR BAGS: FRONTAL- SOUNDS LIKE THE AIRBAG LOCK SPRING IS BROKEN FOR NO REASON. I CAN HEAR THE CLICK WHEN I TURN. THE DIGITAL DASH READS "FRONT LEFT MALFUNCTION" AND WON'Y GO AWAY NO MATTER WHAT I PUSH. IT ALSO HAS AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: STARTER ASSEMBLY ISSUE- THE ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION WON'T TURN OVER A LOT DUE TO IT. MY CAR ONLY HAD 40K MILES.

THE COOLANT PUMP FAILS AFTER ABOUT ONLY 48000 MILES, WHICH CAUSES THE ENGINE OVERHEATED. I DID MY RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THAT MANY OTHERS WHO OWN A MERCEDES CLA 250 HAD THE SAME COOLANT PUMP PROBLEM AT LOW MILEAGES (LESS THAN 50000 MILES). THUS, I DOUBT THAT THIS COOLANT PUMP FAILURE IS A DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FOR. MY CAR IS STILL WITH THE DEALERSHIP SO I DO NOT HAVE A REPORT/RECEIPT FROM THEM STATING THE PROBLEM YET.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR SLOWED DOWN AND THE STEERING BECAME STIFF. THE PRE SAFE LIGHT CAME ON THE SCREEN ALONG WITH "PARKING BRAKE" "TRACTION CONTROL" ALTHOUGH THE PARKING BRAKE WAS NOT APPLIED. I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED HOME BECAUSE IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

TAKATA RECALL THE CAR WON'T START AND THIS MESSAGE APPEARS

SEE UPLOADED DOCUMENT PROTECTED AUTO ISSUES FOR FULL STORY. HENNESSY BUICK, MAZDA, GMC SOLD ME A CAR 8/18/2017 UNKNOWINGLY I DISCOVERED ON 2/5/2019 THAT IT HAD AN ILLEGAL CAN BLOCKER/SWITCH (MANIPULATES COMPUTER SYSTEMS IN CAR AND TAMPERS TRUE MILEAGE ON CAR) INSTALLED IN IGNITION SWITCH. AFTER OBTAINING EMISSIONS TEST 12/26/2018, SEVERAL CAR FAILURES BEGAN TO HAPPEN WHILE STATIONARY AT TESTING CENTER. WHILE IN MOTION THAT DAY, SEVERAL LIGHTS BEGAN TO STOP WORKING. IN JANUARY 2019, WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEERING FAILED CAUSING ME TO BE UNSAFE AS I COULD NOT BRAKE, GAS OR TURN WHEEL. THE BLOCK AFFECTED ALL ITEMS ABOVE, EXCLUDING WHEELS & VISIBILITY,BUT DUE TO LIMITATIONS I WAS ONLY ABLE TO SELECT 3

WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL STREET SPEED "COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST INOPERATIVE" DISPLAYED AND CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I WAS IN TRAFFIC, BUT WAS ABLE TO EXIT AND PULL OVER AND PARK, TURNED CAR OFF, & BACK ON. DISPLAY RESET AND CAR NORMAL. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY-REPAIR WAS "NON CONNECTING PINS". TOO EARLY TO TELL IF THIS SOLVES. UPON INVESTIGATION, THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH 2014 MB AND I WANT TO DOCUMENT THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PERFORMANCE.

INOPERATIVE PRE SAFE FUCNTIONS LIMITED. VEHICLE LOSES POWER AND BECOMES INOPERATIVE WITHOUT ANY ISSUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. IT IS A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT RISK OF GETTING REAR ENDED. THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER AS SOON AS THE MESSAGE APPEARS AND DOES NOT GIVE ENOUGH TIME TO PULL OVER ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING ON HIGHWAY WITH LOTS OF CARS AND HARDLY ANY GAP TO PULL OVER SHOULDER. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON A CLEAR STRAIGHT ROAD AND ON HIGHWAYS AT 55-60 MILES AN HOUR. I AM SUBMITTING THE DATE OF LATEST OCCURRENCE OF THE INCIDENT IN THIS REPORT.

GOOD DAY, I AM ATTACHING PHOTOS OF A FAILED RIM FROM MY 2014 CLA 250. THE CAR HAS JUST OVER 54,000 MILES ON IT AND THE FAILURE-CRACK HAS PROPAGATED TO WHERE THE TIRE WILL NO LONGER HOLD AIR AND CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. THIS IS THE 2ND FAILED RIM, THE FIRST CRACKED IN A SIMILAR FASHION AT JUST OVER 44,000 MILES AND WAS REPLACED BY MY LOCAL MERCEDES DEALER AT NOT CHARGE. THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THE 2ND FAILED RIM. WHILE WE LIVE IN THE MID-WESTERN USA (CHICAGO AREA) WHERE THE ROADS ARE ROUGH AND THERE ARE POTHOLES, THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF DAMAGE OR DEFORMATION IN THE AREA WHERE THIS CRACK FORMED. IT'S UNACCEPTABLE THAT MERCEDES-BENZ WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IN THE CHICAGO AREA FOR 40 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER, NEVER HAD A CRACK IN A RIM LIKE THIS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT THAT MERCEDES-BENZ NEEDS TO CORRECT AND REPLACE FAULTY RIMS ON OWNERS CARS. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME FOR ANY ADDITIONAL DETAILS YOU NEED. I WILL BE SENDING THIS SAME MESSAGE TO THE NHTSA. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC *TR

THERE IS A DESIGN DEFECT IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. MULTIPLE INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOPS HAVE REPORTED THIS. MERCEDES BENZ HAS AN INTERNAL "SERVICE TECHNICAL BULLETINS" TO THEIR DEALERS ON THIS.ISSUES. THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS ON THIS ON DIFFERENT FORUMS ON MERCEDES CARS.

DRIVING HOME FROM WORK YESTERDAY ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED, CAUSING ME TO SWERVE AND ALMOST RUN OFF THE SIDE OF A CLIFF. UPON DOING RESEARCH I'VE LEARNED THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH MERCEDES AND THERE HAS ALREADY BEEN MANY CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS FILED.

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY IN LEFT LANE DOING AROUND 60MPH AND CAR GOES INTO LIMP MODE TAKING AWAY ALL THROTTLE CONTROL. I WAS FORCED TO COAST ACROSS LANES NARROWLY AVOIDING A COLLISION AND MANAGED TO PULL INTO A BUS STOP. I LEARNED THAT LIMP MODE IS TO PROTECT THE CAR FROM FURTHER DAMAGE BUT THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVER SHOULD COME FIRST. THERE SHOULD AT LEAST BE SOME KIND OF ADVANCED WARNING TO PULL VEHICLE OVER BEFORE IT SHUTS DOWN. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND ENDANGERS THE LIFE OF THE DRIVER AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD.

OVER A YEAR I AM COMPLAINING THAT I AM GETTING UNUSUAL NOISE FROM MY CAR. MERCEDES BENZ SILVER SPRING TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE IT HAS LOW PROFILE TIRE AND RIMS GET BEND FROM INSIDE CAUSING THE NOISE. I TOOK THEIR WORD BUT ISSUE REMAIN THERE. I JUST TOOK THE CAR FOR OTHER ISSUE AND TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER LOOK INTO THE ISSUE AND THEY CAME BACK WITH ISSUE 'SPLIT DIFFERENTIAL ISSUE' IN THE CAR WHICH WILL COST AROUND $4100.00. I DID INTERNET SEARCH AND FIND OUT THAT THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE WHO CLA 250 IN 2014 GOT THE EXACT ISSUE. I OWN CARS FOR SO MANY YEARS BUT NEVER HEARD ANYBODY HAVE SIMILAR ISSUE. MERCEDES IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON LOCAL STREETS, SUDDENLY I HEARD A CRACKING NOISE FROM THE SUNROOF. AFTER THAT I PULLED MY CAR ASIDE AND NOTICE THAT THERE WAS A SMALL CRACK ON THE SUNROOF. (SEE ATTACHED PHOTOS) THERE WAS NO FALLING FOREIGN OBJECTS, NO IMPACT FROM THE WEATHER. I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF THE DAY CRACK. MY FIRST REACTION WAS TO CALL THE INSURANCE COMPANY AND FIND A PARKING LOT TO STORE THE CAR. AFTER I CONTACTED THE INSURANCE COMPANY AND I WAS ON MY WAY TO THE PARKING LOT, THE SUNROOF SHATTERED COMPLETELY. SOME OF THE GLASS PIECE EVEN FELL AND CAUSED INJURY TO MY WIFE. THIS WAS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURE DEFECT BECAUSE THERE WAS NO IMPACT FROM THE OUTSIDE AT THAT TIME AND YOU CAN ALSO CLEARLY TELL FROM THE PICTURE OF THE CRACK. IT IS NOT CAUSED BY ANY FALLEN FOREIGN OBJECT. I WAS NOT ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR ANYMORE AT THE RISK OF MY FAMILY'S INJURY SO I CALLED THE MB ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO HAVE THE CAR TOLLED. THE SHATTERED SUNROOF NOT ONLY CAUSE DIVERSION OF THE DRIVER'S ATTENTION AND ALSO CAUSE BODY INJURY FROM THE FALLEN GLASS PIECES. MERCEDES IS NOT RESPONDING TO THE COMPLAIN. DEALER IS TAKING THE RESPONSIBILITY ON THIS ISSUE AND CHARGE ME $2,400 TO REPAIR THE SUNROOF. I DID A SEARCH ON INTERNET AND I NOTICED THAT SIMILAR CASES ARE WIDELY SEEN WORLDWIDE, SEE BELOW LINKS TO RECENT INCIDENTS IN CALIFORNIA AND UK.

ON MAR 6 2017 MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, I CALLED FLETCHER JONES ON ELSTON IN CHICAGO, AND LET THEM NO MY LIGHT WAS ON, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A CHARGE FOR THIS. I TOLD THEM ANYTIME THERES A PROBLEM WITH AIRBAG I SHOULDNT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT, THEY ARGUED ME DOWN AND MADE ME PAY ALMOST 800.00 NOW I GET A LETTER SAYING ITS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS,I CALL AND TALK TO SANDY IN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SHE TELLS ME IM EXACTLY RIGHT THEY SHOULDNT CHARGED ME. SHE TOLD ME WHEN I RECEIVE MY RECALL LETTER I SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET A REFUND. SO NOW I TALKED TO DAN HOFFMAN AND HE TELLS ME SHE SHOULDNT OF TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE THERE FIXING A DIFFERENT PART. BUT IT SHOULDNT MATTER ANYTIME YOUR AIRBAG IS NOT WORKING THATS ON THE MANUFACTURER NOT ME. SO THEY REFUSE TO GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK.

AFTER HAVING 40K SERVICE ABOUT 6 WEEKS AGO ON MY 2014 CLA250, 'SERVICE REQUIRED: DO NOT SHIFT GEARS, VISIT DEALER' LIGHT CAME ON FROM A PARKED POSITION. THANK GOODNESS I WAS PARKED! I'VE READ SEVERAL POSTS WHERE THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS! THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS OCCUPANCY... A CRITICAL FAILURE! ANYWAY, THE ERROR MESSAGE CAME ON WHEN I STARTED THE CAR AND THE CAR IMMEDIATELY SHUT DOWN. IT HAD TO BE TOWED ON A FLATBED AS THERE WAS NO WAY TO EVEN START THE CAR AND IS AT THE SHOP NOW. MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 42K MILES. THIS REALLY IS UNACCEPTABLE AND I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR NOW AFTER READING IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING TOO! I HAVEN'T READ ANYWHERE WHAT THE ACTUAL ISSUE IS, ONLY THAT AFTER SONE PEOPLE GET IT BACK AFTER A SOFTWARE UPDATE IT HAPPENS AGAIN. MB REALLY NEEDS TO FIND OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THIS CRITICAL ERROR AND FIX IT SINCE IT IS SO DANGEROUS!

WHEN L DRIVE, SUDENTLY THE PRE SAFE MALFUNCTION ESP COME UP IN MY DASH, AND L LOST MY ACCELERATION IMMEDIATLY L PULL MY CAR OVER THE SIDEWALK.UNTIL NOW L STILL GET THE SAME PROBLEM. I WENT TO 3 MECANIC SHOP, THEY CAN NOT DO NOTHING. ITS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE A CAR LIKE THAT.

EARLY AFTERNOON WHILE JUST DRIVING OFF AN EXIT IN TN. MY SUNROOF EXPLODED CAUSING SHARDS OF GLASS TO FLY INTO MY CAR. I HAD MINOR CUTS ON MY LOWER BACK AND ARM FROM THE GLASS COVERING ME WHILE DRIVING. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OVER TO ASSESS WHAT HAPPEN BECAUSE MY INITIAL THOUGHT WAS THAT SOMEONE WAS SHOOTING AT ME. THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT CLAIMING ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECT . THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS AROUND SO THE DAMAGED COULD NOT HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY A ROCK OR FALLING OBJECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA250. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY, THE SUN ROOF EXPLODED. THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF BREAKAGE FROM THE OUTSIDE AND NO WARNING PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MERCEDES-BENZ OF NEW ORLEANS (3727 VETERANS BLVD, METAIRIE, LA 70002, (504) 456-3727), BUT COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,000. *TT *TR

PURCHASED MY NEW CLA250 IN SEPTEMBER 2014. IN AUGUST OF 2015 MY CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED ACCELERATING WHILE DRIVING 65MPH ON THE NJ GARDEN STATE PARKWAY!. THE PRE-SAFE WARNING WAS PRESENT ON MY DASHBOARD. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR CATASTROPHE KILLING ME AND OTHERS. I RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND DROVE TO MY DESTINATION MAKING SURE I STAYED IN THE RIGHT LANE ON THE PARKWAY. IT FAILED 2 MORE TIMES WHILE NOT ON THE HIGHWAY BUT STILL A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. TOOK THE CAR (WHICH HAD 16,000 MILES) TO A MERCEDES DEALERSHIP WHEN I RETURNED AND THEY PERFORMED A SERIES OF TESTS. THEY FOUND A PRODUCT TECHNICAL SUPPORT SYSTEM UPDATE WHICH INVOLVED UPDATING THE SOFTWARE. THE FAILURE DID NOT OCCUR AGAIN UNTIL NOV. 2017. I ALMOST GOT HIT BY A BUS IN PHILADELPHIA WHEN MY CAR DECIDED TO STOP ACCELERATING. FINALLY, DRIVING TO THE AIRPORT DOING 70MPH THE CAR AGAIN DISPLAYED THE PRE-SAFE WARNING AND RAPIDLY SLOWED DOWN ALMOST CAUSING A CRASH ON I-78 IN NJ. TOOK THE CAR TO A MERCEDES DEALERSHIP NEAR ME AND THEY SAID SINCE THE CAR IS 2,000 MILES BEYOND THE 50,000 MILE WARRANTY IT'S NOT COVERED. THEY ARE REPLACING A SERIES OF PARTS THAT WILL COST ME OVER $4,000 TO REPAIR! THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THIS WILL EVEN FIX THE PROBLEM. IS MERCEDES WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE BEFORE THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THIS CAR HAS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM? I HAVE TO WONDER IF THERE HAS BEEN ANY CRASHES INVOLVING THIS CAR AND NOBODY SURVIVED TO DETAIL WHAT WAS H

THE STABILITY LIGHT CAME ON, AND IT WAS DIFFICULT TO PULL AWAY. ONCE MOVING A BIT THE CAR THEN WENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA250. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN IN INCLEMENT WEATHER BECAUSE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO OPERATE AS INTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MERCEDES-BENZ OF DELRAY (LOCATED AT 1001 LINTON BLVD, DELRAY BEACH, FL 33444, (561) 291-6095) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE WINDSHIELD AND WIPER BLADES WERE REPLACED, AND THE WINDSHIELD WAS BUFFED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THREE SEPARATE UNKNOWN DEALERS A TOTAL OF 27 TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TIRES LOSE AIR ALL DURING THESE 3 YRS THAT I HAD THIS CAR LEASE, ALWAYS AT THE DEALER, I'M AFRAID FOR MY SAFETY DUE TO THE IMBALANCED TIRE PRESSURE. CAN'T MAKE PLANS TO DRIVE IT FAR, AFRAID TIRES MIGHT CAUSE ME TO LOSE CONTROL AND CREATE AN ACCIDENT!! MANY TIMES I CAN'T GO RIGHT AWAY, BECAUSE IT TAKES TIME OUT OF MY LIFE.... I WORK 12 HOUR DAYS, I BOUGHT THIS LUXURY CAR FOR ITS NAME AND ITS RELIABLE , ACTUALLY IT'S THE OPPOSITE BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO FIX IT!!! FRUSTRATED!!

YESTERDAY I WAS TRAVELLING BACK HOME FROM OFFICE IN THE EVENING ON HIGHWAY, AND SUDDENLY MY CLA250 STARTED SHOWING MESSAGE ON CONSOLE SAYING "PRE SAFE FEATURES LIMITED - SEE OPERATORS MANUAL' AND "VEHICLE INOPERATIVE - SEE OPERATORS MANUAL" AND LOST ITS THROTTLE, I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE, FROM 50MPH I CAME DOWN TO 20MPH WITHIN SECONDS AND IT WAS VERY SCARY AS THERE WERE VEHICLES BEHIND ME THINKING WHAT I WAS UPTO. I IMMEDIATELY SWITCHED ON FLASHERS AND TRIED MY BEST TO PULL IT BACK TO SMALL SPACE BETWEEN DIVIDER AND EXIT, THERE WAS NO PROPER SHOULDER SPACE SO GOT SOME SCRATCHES ON MY CAR. I HAD PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM DEALER AS CERTIFIED PREOWNED VEHICLE JUST TWO MONTHS AGO, AND THIS WAS FIRST TIME I WAS IN SUCH PATHETIC SITUATION. I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANT AND THEY WERE READY TO SEND TOWING TRUCK, MEANWHILE I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED IT AND ALL THE MESSAGES DISAPPEARED AND EVERYTHING LOOKED OKAY. I MADE A DECISION TO GO BACK HOME, AS IF MY CAR WERE TO BE TOWED LATE IN THE EVENING , I WOULDN'T GET CAR BACK THE SAME DAY,AND SERVICE CENTER IS LIKE 30 MILES AWAY AND THERE IS NOBODY TO DROP ME BACK HOME. SO I DECIDED TO TAKE IT HOME AND CANCEL TOWING TRUCK CALL. CAR MOVED FINE FROM THEN ON. TODAY I CAME TO OFFICE IN CAR FEARING WHEN IT WOULD STOP AGAIN. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WHAT THEY SAID WAS "OH DON'T WORRY, THAT MUST BE SOME SOFTWARE GLITCH ON PRE SAFE CONDITION, IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN BRING IT TO DEALERSHIP!!" . SO LITERALLY I NEED TO PUT MY LIFE AND OTHER D

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA250. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 68 MPH, THE PANORAMIC SUN ROOF SHATTERED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT LOCATE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000. UPDATED 06/08/17*LJ *CN

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS,IN THE RAIN UNDER ACCELERATION;THE CAR GOES INTO LIMP MODE-CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND YOU HAVE NO POWER TO GET OUT OF TRAFFICS WAY. ALL BUT ONE CASE,THE CAR RETURNED TO NORMAL AFTER A SHUT DOWN AND RESTART. IN ONE INSTANCE,THE CHECK ENGINE STAYED ON. WHEN A DEALER INSPECTED THE CAR THEY FOUND NO CAUSE -(CODE SAID ENGINE MISFIRE )-THE LIGHT WAS RESET-SINCE THAT DEC.2016 DEALER VISIT THE PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TWICE LEAVING THE CAR TO LOSE POWER WHILE IN HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. A RECENT DEALER VISIT (NO ENGINE LIGHT ON ) RESULTED IN THEIR FINDING NO ISSUE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS,AND NOT WITHOUT MANY OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINT. LIVES ARE IN THE BALANCE HERE-WE NEED GOVERNMENT OVERSITE-PLEASE!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 MERCEDES BENZ CLA250. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER ONE ATTEMPT HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000.

I WAS GETTING OFF WORK AND I WAS ABOUT TO GET OUT OF THE GARAGE AND I DROVE FOR ABOUT 100 YARDS AND I GET THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, POWER TERAIN LIGHT ON SAYING DISABLED AND ON THE DASHBOARD IT SAID INOPERATIVE SEE OPERATORS MANUAL AND ALSO PRE_SAFE FUNCTIONS LIMITED. IT WAS GOING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THESE TWO. WHEN I WAS DRIVING GOING ABOUT 5MPH, THE CAR WOULD SPEED UP BY ITSELF WITHOUT ME TOUCHING THE GAS PEDAL, THEN IT WOULD SLOW DOWN AND SPEED UP AGAIN. IT WAS LIKE I WAS LEARNING TO DRIVING STICK SHIFT, STOP AND GO, EXCEPT THE CAR WAS DOING IT BY ITSELF. THEN I PARKED THE CAR, AND THE ARROW IN TACHOMETER WAS GOING UP AND DOWN. IT WOULD GO TO 1.5 AND THEN DROP TO .5 EVERY SECOND OR SO. THEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS AND FLOORED IT WHILE I HAD IT ON PARK AND IT DID NOTHING. I SHUT IT OFF AND STARTED IT AGAIN TO SEE MAYBE IT WOULD GET FIXED BUT IT DIDN'T. I LEFT THE CAR THERE OVERNIGHT AND THE NEXT MORNING WHEN THE TOW TRUCK CAME I STARTED IT, AND ONLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON, EVERYTHING ELSE WAS GONE. I DROVE IT FOR ABOUT 500 YARD TO GET IT OUT OF THE GARAGE TO MAKE IT EASIER TO TOW. I HAVE HEARD MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAD SOME ISSUES WITH 2014 CLA 250

PURCHASED A MERCEDES CLA 250C, AND HAVE HAD IT BECAME INOPERATIVE WHILE DRIVING ON THE BELTWAY IN WASHINGTON D.C. TRAFFIC, AND MORE RECENTLY ON THE I-5 IN SAN DIEGO ON 1/21/2017 DURING RAIN AT SPEEDS OF 60+ MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE DECELERATED QUICKLY AND LOST SPEED. THE CONSOLE POPPED UP FLASHING MESSAGE 'PRE-SAFE FUNCTIONS LIMITED' ON THE CONSOLE. THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND TO ACCELERATOR. AFTER COASTING TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER I WAS HIT, BY A PASSING CAR, AND THE MOTORIST KEPT ON GOING.THIS HAD HAPPENED ABOUT 10 TIME, AND I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW. MERCEDES AWARE, YET THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY SAID IF THE ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ON WE CANT DIAGNOSE IT. *TR

MY TIRES HAD LESS THAN 15K MILES AND THE TIRE HAS A BULGE ON THE SIDEWALL. I MENTIONED TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT IS NORMAL FOR THESE TIRES. IT NOW HAS 35K MILES ON THE TIRE AND IT WILL NOT PASS VIRGINIA STATE INSPECTION. I NOW HAVE TO BUY 2 TO 4 NEW TIRES DUE TO THIS DEFECT POOR WORKMANSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER ROAD HAZARD AND EVERYONE IS TELLING ME IT HAPPENED GOING OVER A POTHOLE. THE TIRE IS NOW DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON AND CAN HAVE A BLOW OUT AT ANYTIME. THIS IS AN UNSAFE CONDITION IN THAT THE TIRES ARE NEW AND SHOULD HAVE BULGED OUT LIKE THIS RENDERING THEM UNUSABLE. PZERO 225/40R 18 92H

WITH DISTRONIC CRUISE CONTROL ON AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN PASSING A LARGE TRUCK THE DISTRONIC CRUISE CONTROL TAKES OVER AND APPLIES BRAKES HARD ALMOST CAUSING AND ACCIDENT. WE HAVE HAD IT IN A NUMEROUS OF TIME BUT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. THE CAR IS NOT SAFE THIS HAS HAPPEN A NUMBER OF TIMES. WE HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH MERCEDES BUT HAS DENIED TO A BUY BACK. WANT IT ON RECORD THAT THE SYSTEM IS FAULTY AND IS NOT SAFE. I HAVE ATTACHED PICTURES OF THE WARNING THAT SHOWS ON THE DASH.

PRE SAFE FUNCTIONS LIMITED LIGHT AND INOPERATIVE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON CAR IMMEDIATELY LOSES 50 PERCENT POWER AND WILL NOT ACCELARATE. 15 TIMES IN A 1YR PERIOD. DEALER DOESN'T SEE A PROBLEM..TODAY FOR THE 5TH TIME I WAS NEARLY HIT BY AN ONCOMING VEHICLE. TWO WEEKS AGO PROBLEM OCCURED WHILE I WAS IN A FUNERAL PROCESSION GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID A REAR END COLLISION..I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING A CAR I PAID 50,000 FOR.. *TR

I AM WRITING TO RAISE SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT THE RUN-FLAT TIRES INSTALLED ON MY 2014 CLA 250. AFTER 12,830 MILES, I EXPERIENCED MY FIRST FLAT TIRE. AFTER CONSULTING THE OWNER'S MANUAL, I LEARNED THAT I HAD RUN-FLAT (MOEXTENDED) TIRES AND COULD PROCEED (HAVING THE ABILITY TO DRIVE 50 MILES ON THE FLAT, ACCORDING TO MY MANUAL). I WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN THAT THIS TIRE, COULD NOT BE REPAIRED AND THAT MY ONLY OPTION WAS TO PURCHASE A NEW TIRE. ON 8/29/16, I WAS TRAVELING SOUTH ON HIGHWAY 101 IN A VERY RURAL PART OF HUMBOLDT COUNTY IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, AND EXPERIENCED ANOTHER FLAT TIRE (AGAIN WITH ONE OF THE FACTORY INSTALLED TIRES). FROM A DESERTED GAS STATION IN A PLACE CALLED WEOTT, I TRIED TO CALL MERCEDES-BENZ ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE BUT AFTER BEING PUT ON HOLD AND TRYING TO NAVIGATE THE MENU, I GAVE UP. I KNEW THAT THERE WERE ONLY SMALL TOWNS FOR APPROXIMATELY 75 MILES SOUTH OF ME, SO I CHOSE TO RETURN TO FORTUNA (WHERE MY SISTER LIVED), APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES TO THE NORTH). THE MILEAGE AT THE TIME OF THIS FLAT WAS 22, 684. JUST A FEW MILES AWAY FROM MY DESTINATION, I PULLED OVER BECAUSE THE VIBRATION IN THE CAR HAD TURNED TO SHAKING AND I WAS FINDING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL MY VEHICLE. I BECAME FRIGHTENED THAT I MIGHT LOSE CONTROL. I MUST REITERATE THAT AT THIS POINT I WAS EXTREMELY FRIGHTENED FOR MY SAFETY AND PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF HIGHWAY 101 AND CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK. I HAD DRIVEN CAUTIOUSLY FOR ONLY 25 MILES ON THE FLAT TIRE, NOTHING NEAR THE 50 MILES PROMISED IN

VEHICLE BECAME INOPERATIVE WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. HAPPENED TWICE TODAY ON SPEEDS OF 60+ MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. VEHICLE DECELERATED QUICKLY AND LOST SPEED, I WAS LUCKY TO AVOID COLLISIONS. THE CONSOLE POPPED UP FLASHING MESSAGE 'PRE-SAFE FUNCTIONS LIMITED' ON THE CONSOLE. THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND TO ACCELERATOR. AFTER SWITCHING THE IGNITION OFF AND ON AGAIN, THE PROBLEM TEMPORARY DISAPPEARED, BUT THEN HAPPENED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE IS DULY SERVICED AND IS STILL ON WARRANTY, THERE WAS NO ACCIDENTS OR MECHANICAL FAULTS PRIOR TO DATE. SCARY AND VERY DANGEROUS. COULD HAVE EASILY INJURED MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE WHO WOULD HAVE HIT THE VEHICLE WHICH SUDDENLY BECOMES INOPERATIVE.

MY CAR WAS PURCHASED 8/2014 FROM MERCEDES BENZ OF HENDERSON NV. THIS CAR HAS HAD PROBLEMS THE1ST DAY OF OWNING IT. THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP SO MANY TIMES THAT I HAVE LOST COUNT. I HAVE A FOLDER AS THICK AS MY BIBLE. MERCEDES WON'T CLAIM IT AS A LEMON AND THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS EVERY TIME IT IS TAKEN IN. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT EXCHANGE IT FOR A EQUAL CAR WITHOUT THE OPTION OF RENEWING ANOTHER LEASE AND INCREASING THE PAYMENT. I HAVE EXPERIENCED HAZARD LIGHTS ON THE FIRST 30MILES. THE ELECTRICAL WENT OUT/WARNING FLASHERS/MALFUNCTIONING/INOPERABLE THE CAR HAS DIED DRIVING WHICH PUT MINE AND OTHERS LIVES IN DANGER. ALL I'M TOLD IS I AM SORRY. I AM DRAINED WITH DEALING WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND GOING THROUGH ALL OF THEIR TURNOVERS WITH MNGMNT. PABLO RODRIGUEZ WAS A GEM ALONG WITH BUTCH WHO DID NOTHING!!EVERY CODE THAT WAS DCMNTD WAS DELETED FROM THE MEMORY. MY CAR WAS RECENTLY IN AGAIN WITH INOPERABLE/MALFUNCTIONING DISPLAY/ACCELERATION/PRE SAFE SYSTEM ERROR IN WHICH THEY SAID THEY FIXED BUT LESS THE 24HRS THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. THE DEALERSHIP HAD MY CAR FROM JUNE 24TH TO JULY 10TH AND SAME ISSUES BUT NEW ERROR MESSAGES. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A CAR SINCE I PICKED IT UP AND THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT GETTING IT IN SOONER THEN THE 25TH. THEY DON'T CARE AT THIS DEALERSHIP NOR DOES MERCEDES CORP. HRS & HRS OF WASTED TIME TALKING TO PEOPLE WHO CAN DO NOTHING.NO CALLS FROM ANYONE, I RECEIVED SURVEYS IN

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

I HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AS MANY OTHERS. I WAS DRIVING MY CAR DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN THE LEFT LANE AT 65 MPH. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SPEEDOMETER DROPPED TO 0 AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATE. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURN OFF THE CAR. THIS FIRST HAPPENED TO ME TWICE IN DECEMBER 2013. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DID SEVERAL THINGS TO TRY AND FIX IT. THEY TOLD ME THEY UPDATED THE SOFTWARE. I WAS SCARED TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE CAR, BUT THEY ASSURED ME IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. BUT, THE SAME ISSUE JUST HAPPENED TO ME AGAIN (JUNE 2016). WHY HASN'T MERCEDES DONE ANYTHING TO FIX THIS? I DON'T WAN TO DRIVE A CAR THAT LOSES SPEED WHILE I'M ON A BUSY HIGHWAY, IT'S NOT SAFE.

I HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE OF THE CAR, BEING IN PARK FOR OVER 5-10 MINUTES, SUDDENLY LUNGING FORWARD. IT IS QUIET STARTLING TO HAVE IT HAPPEN. I WORRY THAT WHEN I EXIT THE CAR WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING ( DUE TO PASSENGERS STILL IN THE CAR) SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN. THIS HAS HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES WITH ME.
