TAKATA RECALL" THE RECALL ON MY AIR BAG HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE JAN 2019 AND THE PART STILL ISN'T IN. IT SAYS IF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY, METAL FRAGMENTS CAN FLY OUT AND KILL THE PERSON, THIS IS SERIOUS BUSINESS AND SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF ASAP! IT DIDN'T HAPPEN YET BUT I WANT A PUSH TO GET THIS RECALL COMPLETED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.

TAKATA RECALL - MANUFACTURER HAS STONEWALLED AND SLOW WALKED A RESOLUTION TO REPLACEMENT OF THE POTENTIALLY DEADLY AND DANGEROUS TAKATA AIRBAGS. CONSEQUENTLY, I DO NOT ALLOW MY WIFE AND FAMILY TO DRIVE THIS CAR FEARFUL OF THE IMPLICATIONS OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THE CAR BASICALLY SITS IN MY GARAGE AND HAS LOW MILES. MERCEDES COMMUNICATED A SOLUTION IN FEBRUARY 2018 VIA THE ATTACHED CORRESPONDENCE BUT HAS FAILED TO REMEDY THE ISSUE. I'M STUCK WITH THIS CAR SINCE ITS TRADE-IN VALUE IS NEGATIVELY AFFECTED UNTIL THE AIRBAG IS REPLACED.

SUSPENSION ISSUES, I JUST PLACED 4 NEW TIRES ON MY CAR IN JUNE OF 2018. ON DEC 28, 2019 MY CAR FELT AS IF SOMEONE WAS UNSCREWING ALL OF MY WHEELS OFF AND I SPENT OUT LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I AM UNABLE TO GET MERCEDES-BENZ USA TO SHARE GROUND CLEARANCE SPECIFICATION FOR MY VEHICLE. MY CAR HAS 100.000 MILES. MBUSA DIRECTED ME TO THE LOCAL DEALER BUT THE DEALER COULDN'T FIND THE SPEC. I WAS TOLD I WOULD RECEIVE A CALL BACK AND NEVER DID. I GOOGLED INFO REGARDING MY ISSUES AND SAW THIS SITE AND WAS LIKE WOW.

I WAS TOLD I WOULD RECEIVE A CALL BACK AND NEVER DID. I GOOGLED INFO REGARDING MY ISSUES AND SAW THIS SITE AND WAS LIKE WOW. IT WAS RAINING AND I WAS DOING 60 MILES NOTHING MORE.

DESPITE ALL ATTEMPTS, I AM UNABLE TO GET MERCEDES-BENZ USA TO SHARE THE GROUND CLEARANCE SPECIFICATION FOR MY VEHICLE. MY CAR HAS 145,000 MILES. I NEED TO REPLACE FRONT SHOCKS/STRUTS. I NEED THE GROUND CLEARANCE SPEC IN ORDER TO DETERMINE WHETHER TO REPLACE FRONT SPRINGS AT THE SAME TIME. GROUND CLEARANCE IS COMMONLY PUBLISHED AS PART OF TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR ALL OTHER CARS. THIS IS THE FIRST CAR I HAVE OWNED FOR WHICH THE GROUND CLEARANCE SPECIFICATION IS NEITHER PUBLISHED NOR AVAILABLE THROUGH OTHER MEANS FROM THE MANUFACTURER. MBUSA FIRST DIRECTED ME TO THE LOCAL DEALER BUT THE DEALER COULDN'T FIND THE SPEC. THEN THEY SAID THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THIS SPECIFICATION AND THEY COULDN'T HELP. NEXT, I REACHED OUT TO THE MERCEDES CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER IN EUROPE. BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND THE SPECIFICATION EITHER. FINALLY, I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM MERCEDES-BENZ USA CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER. THEY GAVE ME A GROUND CLEARANCE SPECIFICATION THAT IS FAR LOWER THAN THE CLEARANCE ON MY CAR. FOR HIGH-MILEAGE CARS, THE GROUND CLEARANCE SHOULD BE LOWER THAN SPEC, NOT HIGHER. WHEN I STATED THIS, THEY GAVE ME A DIFFERENT HIGHER NUMBER. BOTTOMLINE - UNLESS I HAVE THE TRUE GROUND CLEARANCE SPECIFICATION FOR MY CAR, I CAN'T DETERMINE WHETHER MY CAR'S SUSPENSION IS IN GOOD HEALTH. A TIRED, SAGGING, SUSPENSION COULD LEAD TO SAFETY ISSUES. ON A RELATED NOTE, MERCEDES-BENZ HAS ZERO STOCK WORLDWIDE FOR THE FRONT SPRINGS FOR MY 2013 VEHICLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A CAR THAT

ALSO THEY SAY THAT THIS CAR COME WITH HYDROLIC PUMP PUSHES OIL TO TOP OF ENGINE MAY BE THE PROBLEM. BUT THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $4000.

FUEL LEAKING FROM RIGHT REAR AREA - WHEN CAR IS FILLED UP - I STOPPED WHEN PUMP CLICKED OFF - DID NOT OVERFILL - YOU HAD A EXTENSION OF WARRANTY ON MERCEDES UP TO 2009 BUT THIS 2013 HAS THE SAME PROBLEM ITS UNDER THE REAR SEAT PASSENGER SIDE - RIGHT WHERE A CAR SEAT WOULD BE FOR A KID - SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED BY THIS. THIS SHOULD BE A MANDATORY SAFETY RECALL !! 2013 SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE EXTENTION BIG PROBLEM WE BOUGHT THIS CAR USED AND 1ST TIME WE FILLED IT UP

THE ELECTRIC STEERING COLUMN ADJUSTMENT TO MOVE STEERING WHEEL UP AND/OR DOWN HAS BECOME INOPERABLE. HOWEVER THE IN & OUT ADJUSTMENT STILL WORKS. THIS MAKES PROPER STEERING WHEEL AND AIR BAG LOCATION IMPOSSIBLE. IT WAS NOTICED WHILE DRIVING THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS NOT IN THE PROPER/COMFORTABLE POSITION. I HAVE GONE ONLINE AND THIS APPARENTLY IS A KNOWN AND COMMON PROBLEM IN MERCEDES BENZ AUTOMOBILES. SAFE ADJUSTMENT IS IMPOSSIBLE. VEHICLE STATIONARY.

AD BLU HEATER FAILURE WITH CHECK ENG LIGHT MULTIPLE FAILURES AND CODES.

CAR: 2013 MERCEDES-BENZ E-350 4-DOOR V6 SEDAN WITH SPORTS PACKAGE, 28,000 MILES. INCIDENT: VEHICLE WAS ACCELERATING FROM 25 MPH ON RAMP TO ENTER FREEWAY. BEFORE REACHING FREEWAY SPEED OF 65 MPH, CAR BEGAN TO MAKE LOUD NOISES FROM THE FRONT AND VIBRATE VIOLENTLY. ACCELERATING MADE IT WORSE. AT 35-40 MPH, DRIVER DECIDED TO EASE BACK TO 25-30, TURN ON HAZARD LIGHTS, AND TAKE NEXT EXIT. CAR WAS TOWED TO MERCEDES-BENZ DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS AND SERVICING. DIAGNOSIS FROM DEALERSHIP: "CAR HAS A BAD CYLINDER HEAD THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. CYLINDER HEAD #3 IS THE BAD ONE. THIS IS ALSO CAUSING THE MISFIRING OF CYLINDER #1 AND #2." SERVICE REQUEST: "R/S CYLINDER HEAD COMPLETE COOLANT GASKETS EST HOLE JOB PARTS". OVER $11,000 PARTS AND LABOR. COMMENTS: CAR HAD VERY RECENTLY BEEN SERVICED AS PER RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE BY SAME DEALERSHIP. EVEN THOUGH I AM SECOND OWNER AND BOUGHT CAR FROM A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, MBUSA CONFIRMED THAT THE CAR HAD BEEN SERVICED AS PER SCHEDULE FROM THE BEGINNING, AND THERE WAS NO HISTORY OF MECHANICAL FAILURE. THIRD-PARTY MECHANICS HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A 2013 MB E-CLASS WITH ONLY 28,000 MILES SUFFERING FROM THIS KIND OF ENGINE PROBLEM UNLESS IT MISSED SERVICING ALONG THE WAY.

"TAKATA RECALL" ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHEN I TRAVEL BACK HOME FROM WORK (DRIVING 85+MILES), I HEAR THIS BUBBLING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BUT THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I TOLD THEM TO DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY AT HIGH SPEED AND THEN PARK THE CAR AND TURN OFF AND YOU SHOULD HEAR THE SOUND. IT SOUNDS AS THO SOMETHING IS BOILING. DEALER CLAIM THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT I'M AFRAID THAT ONE DAY SOMETHING WILL BURST AND I GET SCULLED.

WHILE PARALLEL PARKING IN FRONT OF A SMALL RESTAURANT IN A LARGE NORTH TEXAS CITY THE VEHICLE QUICKLY ACCELERATED BACKWARDS AT A HIGH SPEED BACKWARDS, CLIMBING OVER A SIDEWALK CURB AN THEN CLIMBED OVER A NEARLY 3 FOOT HIGH RETAINING WALL. THE REAR END OF THE CAR RESTED ON TOP OF THE RETAINING WALL. IF THE RETAINING WALL BETWEEN THE SIDE WALK AND THE RESTAURANT HAD NOT STOPPED THE VEHICLE IT WOULD HAVE LIKELY CONTINUED TO PICK UP SPEED AND GONE THROUGH THE RESTAURANT. MAY HAVE BEEN THE CRUISE CONTROL MECHANISM OR RELATED ACCELERATION SYSTEM.

I FIRST HAD A TIRE BLOW-UP IN A MINOR POTHOLE. GOT IT REPAIRED AT THE DEALERSHIP. HOWEVER, RECENTLY I HIT ANOTHER MINOR POTHOLE IN NEW JERSEY, AND THIS TIME, THE RIM OF THE WHEEL CRACKED! THIS TIME I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY CHILD IN THE CAR SEAT, AND COULD HAVE GOTTEN INTO A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I DO NOT THINK THE SO CALLED "HIGH PERFORMANCE" WHEELS ARE MEANT FOR THE US ROADS. THE MATERIAL SEEMS SUB-STANDARD. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO MERCEDES, BUT THE REP DID NOT SEEM TO CARE OR SHOW ANY CONCERN. I HAVE KEPT THE DAMAGED RIM WITH ME IF YOU'D LIKE TO SEE. SENDING PICTURES ALSO. THANKS.
