2010 Mercedes-Benz E350 complaints

SAFETY RECALL ON DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAGS HAS NOT BEEN REMEDIED YET

FAULTY VALVE BODY ON A CAR WITH LESS THAN 50K MILES. CAR HAS BEEN MAINTAINED AS PER DEALER RECOMMENDATIONS. TRANSMISSION FLUID HAD BEEN RECENTLY CHANGED 4 MONTHS PRIOR. TRANSITION FAILED IN A LIFE THREATENING MANNER WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL OF DRIVING CAPABILITIES. PROBLEM RESULTED IN A TOTAL OF $5585.29 IN A REBUILT TRANSMISSION AND NEW VALVE BODY. UPON RESEARCHING THIS SEEMS TO BE A REOCCURRING ISSUE WITH THE 722.9 TRANSMISSION. A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED.

TAKATA RECALL

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MERCEDES-BENZ E350. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V081000 (AIR BAGS). THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. MERCEDES-BENZ OF SOUTH BAY (3311 PACIFIC COAST HWY, TORRANCE, CA) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 50K MILES. I AM THE ONLY OWNER AND I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2010 (NEW) WITH ONLY 9 MILES. I HAVE COMPLETED ALL REQUIRED SERVICES TO DATE. IN MAY I HAD THE AB SERVICE COMPLETE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I WAS TOLD IT WAS LIKELY DUE TO THE NEED OF HAVING THE SPARK PLUGS CHANGE BASED ON TIME NOT MILEAGE. NOW I AM BEING TOLD THE OUTCOME OF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON IS DUE TO A MISFIRE CODE FOR CYLINDER ONE, FAILED SDS COMPRESSION TEST. CYLINDER ONE FAILED CYLINDER LEAK DOWN TEST AT 80%. EXHAUST VALVE SEATS FAILING CAUSING EXHAUST VALVES NOT TO FULLY CLOSE. WE ARE UNABLE TO REPAIR THE VALVE SEAT ON CYLINDER HEAD AND IT IS NECESSARY TO REPLACE PASSENGER SIDE CYLINDER HEAD. ONLY CAMSHAFTS AND CAM ADJUSTERS CAN BE TRANSFERRED. NEW HEAD WILL COME WITH NEW VALVES. THERE ARE REPEATED REPORTS FROM OTHER OWNERS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE-RESULTING IN ENORMOUS REPAIR COST. THIS IS A DEFECT AND MERCEDES-BENZ NEED TO CONSUME THE COST, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN $50K MILES.

RECALL #2016020003 TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. STILL NO PART AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL- SOLD VEHICLE IN DECEMBER OF 2016 DUE TO WORRY OF AIRBAG DEPLOYING AND FLYING METAL KILLING ME, WHICH ISN'T SAFE AS IT WAS RECALLED AND THERE WAS NO REMEDY AT THE TIME, WHICH SUBSTANIALLY LOWERED THE VALUE. WOULD LIKE TO BE COMPENSATED FOR LOSS IN VALUE. HAVE ALL DOCUMENTATION, PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU NEED. THANK YOU

I HAVE CONTACTED MERCEDES BENZ DEALERS A FEW TIMES. THEY KEEP TELLING ME THAT WHEN THEY GET THE REPLACEMENT FOR THE RECALLED AIRBAGS THEY WILL CONTACT ME. THEY NEVER DID. I RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FROM TK HOLDING INC THAT MY DEADLINE TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS IS COMING TO AN END. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

I HAVE CONTACTED MERCEDES SEVERAL TIMES TO GET AIRBAGS REPLACED BUT THEY CLAIM THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS. I HAVE BEEN CALLING AND WAITING FOR 2 YEARS.

TAKATA RECALL - SINCE THE INCEPTION OF THE RECALL AND THROUGH TODAY, I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO OBTAIN A REPLACEMENT AIRBAG(S) AND HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO OBTAIN ANY INFORMATION AS TO WHEN THAT MAY OCCUR FROM THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW. AS A RESULT EVERY DAY I DRIVE THE VEHICLE, BASED ON THE NOTICES I HAVE RECEIVED, I AM AT RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. IN ADDTION, IF I ATTEMPT TO SELL OR TRADE THE VEHILCE AT THIS TIME THE VALUE OF THE VEHILE IS DIMISHED FOR THE SAME REASONS.

I HAVE CONTACTED DEALER MANY TIMES AND THEY WILL NOT REPLACE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG. THIS IS THE CAUSE OF DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE THAT ACCORDING TO THEM CAN CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH TO THE DRIVER.

TAKATA RECALL - RECEIVED LETTER OF RECALL MAY 1016 FROM MERCEDES-BENZ AND HAVE NOT HAD ANYTHING DONE SINCE. HAVE CALLED MY DEALER AND THEY ARE WAITING ON TAKATA TO PROVIDE THE PARTS. I JUST RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM TAKATA THAT THEY ARE FILING FOR BANKRUPTCY. WHAT DO I DO!!

WHINING SOUND FROM THE ENGINE. GETS LOUDER AS IT GOES FASTER. TOOK IT A MBZ DEALER IN LYNNWOOD WASHINGTON. THEY SAID THE CAR NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION. THE CAR HAS 57K MILES. DEALER SAYS ITS VERY UNUSUAL..... STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. THIS HAPPENED WHEN TURNING THE CORNER IN A HEAVY TRAFFIC. TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE HAD TO REPLACE A PUMP? *TR

REQUEST NHTSA IMMEDIATELY RE-OPEN THE INVESTIGATION OF MERCEDES-BENZ' DELIBERATE & CONTINUED USE OF DEFECTIVE FUEL SYSTEM COMPONENTS. THE WARRANTY EXTENSION OFFERED BY MB FOR 2003-2009 E-CLASS SEDANS ON FUEL TANK COMPONENTS, INCLUDING FUEL TANK, FUEL FILTER/SENDER, FUEL PUMP & RELATED GASKETS/SEALS/RETENTION RINGS, IS NOT SUFFICIENT. PLEASE REQUIRE MB TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY TO LATER MODEL YRS & ALL E-CLASS VEHICLES SUCH AS 2-DR COUPE, NOT JUST THE SEDAN. MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY 48,000 MILES (DRIVEN <7,000 MI/YR) & FUEL SENDING UNIT CLOSING COVER IS NOW LEAKING. GAS FUMES/LEAKAGE IS SO OVERWHELMING THAT CAR CANNOT BE DRIVEN OR PARKED IN A GARAGE. DRIVER IS IN EMINENT DANGER OF CAR BURSTING INTO FLAMES IF A SPARK OR MATCH IS LIT NEARBY. PLUS OWNER RISKS DAMAGE/THEFT/BODILY HARM NOW BEING REQUIRED TO PARK ON STREET RATHER THAN A SECURED GARAGE. I'VE OWNED 8 OTHER VEHICLES IN MY LIFETIME INCL. FIAT, OLDSMOBILE, FORD, TOYOTA & LEXUS. NEVER HAS ANY OTHER VEHICLE HAD THIS PROBLEM. PLUS SEVERAL WERE 2X+ THE AGE OF THIS CAR & HAD 2-3X GREATER MILEAGE. THIS FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEM IS NOT CAUSED BY NORMAL WEAR-&-TEAR OR ANY FAULT OF AN OWNER. REPAIRS MUST BE MANDATED BY THE NHTSA TO BE COVERED BY MB DUE TO FACT THAT THEY HAVE CONTINUED TO USE DEFECTIVE DESIGN & DEFECTIVE COMPONENTS, EVEN KNOWING FOR YEARS PRIOR TO MANUFACTURING 2010+ MODELS, THIS ISSUE EXISTS. THE MB DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE $1133.89 PLUS TAX FOR THE INITIAL "CLOSING COVER" REPAIR & WILL NOT GUARANTEE THAT WILL EVEN FIX THE PROBL

MY 2010 E350 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF BUT MOSTLY ON FOR 5 DAYS OUT OF 1 WEEK, 2 DAYS OFF. BEEN DOING THIS SINCE I GOT IT BOUGHT IT IN NOV OF 2015. I WAS TOLD BY OTHER OWNERS THAT THIS MAY COST UP TO $8/12GS TO GET IT FIX. WHY THERE WASN'T A RECALL FOR THIS? PLEASE EXPAND, ANYONE??????

REAR DIFFERENTIAL PINION BEARING. THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS MAKING A HOWLING AND LOUD NOISE. THE CAR ONLY HAD ABOUT 60K MILES AND THE BEARING FAILED. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR THIS MODEL AND OTHER MERCEDES MODELS AS WELL. I GOT QUOTED AROUND $3000 TO FIX THIS. THIS SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE ON A $65,000 CAR AT THIS MANY MILES. MERCEDES BENZ NEEDS TO DO A RECALL ON THE RED DIFFERENTIAL SINCE THEY FAIL AT A VERY LOW MILEAGE.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MERCEDES-BENZ E350. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V081000 (AIR BAGS) EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR REPAIR. IN ADDITION, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTIFICATION OVER A YEAR AGO. THE DEALER (HOEHN MOTORS, 5475 CAR COUNTRY DR, CARLSBAD, CA, 92008) STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR AND THEY WERE UNSURE WHEN THEY WOULD BE AVAILABLE. THE DEALER REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE RECALL WAS JUST PRECAUTIONARY, AND THAT THEY HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE OR DEATHS. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

SPORADICALLY THE CAR GOES INTO PARK WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THIS HAPPENS WITH A SUDDEN JERK AND IS DANGEROUS TO THE OCCUPANT AND ALSO TO OTHER VEHICLES AS IT COMES TO A SUDDEN HALT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND CAN EVEN BE FATAL/OR CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES TO THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE AND TO THE OCCUPANTS OF OTHER VEHICLES. AT OTHER TIMES IT WILL KEEP SHIFTING TO PARK WHEN THE DRIVER PUTS IT INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE WHEN STATIONARY. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY THEIR DIAGNOSTICS DOES NOT SHOW A PROBLEM. WHEN WE CALLED MERCEDES THEY SAY THAT IF THE DEALER CANNOT SEE THE PROBLEM THERE IS NO PROBLEM. WE HAVE FINALLY BEEN ABLE TO MAKE A VIDEO RECORDING BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE FILE IS TOO LARGE TO ATTACH DUE TO THE POTENTIAL DANGEROUS OUTCOME WE REQUEST THAT THE HIGHER LEVEL MERCEDES ENGINEERS LOOK INTO AND IN THE MEANTIME THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED

TAKATA RECALL: I WAS NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL REGARDING MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG ALMOST A YEAR AGO WITH NO CONTACT OR REMEDY SINCE. MERCEDES HAS ALSO REFUSED TO PROVIDE ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION AT THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER LEVEL, SAYING NO ONE HAS BEEN INJURED YET. I FEEL MERCEDES SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SAFETY OF ITS CUSTOMER AND PROVIDE LOANER VEHICLES WHILE WE WAIT FOR REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS. I DON'T FEEL MY LIFE SHOULD BE PUT AT RISK FOR THIS ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL. IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR AND PARTS STILL ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO REMEDY THIS RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MERCEDES-BENZ E350 EQUIPPED WITH FALCON TIRES, SIZE: 285/25/ZR20 (NA). WHILE UNDERGOING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT BOTH REAR TIRES EXPERIENCED TREAD SEPARATION ON THE INNER WALLS. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000 AND THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

"TAKATA RECALL" SIX MONTHS AFTER THE TAKATA SAFETY RECALL WAS ISSUED I CONTACTED MERCEDES BENZ COSTUMER SERVICE VIA PHONE ASKING FOR A TIME LINE AS TO WHEN AND HOW THEY PLAN TO RESOLVE THE SITUATION. THE ANSWER I RECEIVED WAS THAT THEY NOT ONLY HAVE NO TIMELINE TO RESOLVE THE MATTER BUT THAT THE PROBLEM INVOLVING MY CAR MODEL WAS NOT A PRIORITY SINCE THEY HAVE HAD NO INCIDENTS. I AM FILLING THIS COMPLAIN BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURER IS FAILING TO RESOLVE THE MATTER IN A TIMELY MANNER. MERCEDES BENZ IS UNABLE TO PROVIDE ME WITH ANY SPECIFIC PLANS TO REMEDY THE SAFETY RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE SIX MONTHS AFTER THE RECALL WAS ISSUED. THEY CITED THE RECALL IS A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE, THAT THEY HAVE HAD NO INCIDENTS AND WHEN CONFRONTED WITH THE FACT THAT OTHER MANUFACTURERS HAVE PLANS OR ARE FIXING THE ISSUE, I WAS TOLD "THEY MUST HAVE HAD INCIDENTS". AM I TO CONCLUDE THEY ARE WAITING FOR AN ACCIDENT IN ONE OF THEIR CARS TO START ACTING UPON THIS ISSUE?
