RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR AIRBAG NHTSA ID 19V010. I HAVE TRIED FOR 2 YEARS TO GET IT REPLACED. THEY SAY IT IS STILL ON HOLD. NO PARTS.IT APPEARS THEY ARE NOT THAT CONCERNED ABOUT THIS. I THOUGHT AIRBAGS ARE NECESSARY IN A ACCIDENT TO SAVE LIVES. THE CAR IS NOW 7 YEARS OLD. ARE THEY WAITING FOR IT TO DIE FIRST?

MERCEDES HAS FAILED TO COMPLY WITH ITS OBLIGATION UNDER ITS RECALL CAMPAIGN 201901001 TO REPLACE THE TAKATA PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. IT HAS BEEN NEARLY TWO YEARS SINCE THE RECALL NOTICE DATED "FEBRUARY 2019" WAS RECEIVED.

MY STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT TELESCOPE UP/DOWN. I HAVE HAD THIS REPAIRED 2X'S IN THE PAST 3 YEARS. 5/2017, 6/2018, 8/2019, 12/2020 ADDITIONALLY, THE BLIND SPOT ASSIST NOTIFICATION GOES OFF WHEN THERE'S NOT A CAR AROUND ME. TYPICALLY HAPPENS WHEN I'M DRIVING AND GO DOWN A SLIGHT DECLINE IN THE ROAD.

CAR WAS PURCHASED FROM MERCEDES DEALERSHIP IN 2016 AND HAS ONLY BEEN SEEN BY MERCEDES DEALERSHIPS FOR SERVICE. IN 2019, A OIL SEEPAGE WAS NOTED DURING ANNUAL MAINTENANCE HOWEVER NO REPAIR OR DIAGNOSIS WAS PERFORMED. AT THIS TIME, THE CAR ONLY HAD 36,000 MILES ON IT. IN NOV OF 2020, THE CAR WAS TAKEN IN TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP FOR ANNUAL SERVICE. THE CAR NOW ONLY HAD 40,000 MILES BUT WAS GIVEN A 50K SERVICE. AT THE TIME OF SERVICE, THE TECHNICIAN EXPLAINED THAT OIL WAS LEAKING FROM THE ENGINE COVER AND HAD ALSO CONTAMINATED THE DRIVE BELTS. REPAIRS TO ENGINE COVER, BELT AND TENSIONER CAME TO $3000+. DEALERSHIP HAD NO EXPLANATION FOR WHY AFTER SUCH A SHORT TIME WITH LIMITED DRIVING, THE CAR HAD SUCH SIGNIFICANT REPAIRS NEEDED. A TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR HAD ALSO FAILED. FROM MY RESEARCH THIS ISSUE IS KNOWN, HOWEVER SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING TO A CAR BEGINNING ONLY 5 YEARS AFTER OF MANUFACTURING WITH LESS THAN 37,000 MILES.

BURNING SMELL INSIDE THE CAR AND STATIC AND CRACKLING NOISE FROM THE SPEAKER SYSTEM. NOISE CONTINUED WITH ENGINE OFF. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE MERCEDES BENZ DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THE SOUND AMPLIFIER AND THE CENTER DASH SPEAKER WERE FOUND TO BE BURNT. THEY REPLACED THE SOUND AMP., FLASH & SCN CODE COMMAND UNIT, AND SATELLITE RADIO CONTROL UNIT

I RECEIVED A LETTER OVER 2 YEARS AGO AND HAVE CALLED MB REPEATEDLY ABOUT THE REPAIR. THEY SAY IT HASN'T BEEN RESOLVED YET BUT ONCE THEY DO THEY WILL LET OWNERS KNOW. AS BEST I CAN TELL THE ISSUE IS NOT REPLACING THE FAULTY AIRBAG BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO OUTLAY THE COST. BMW TRIED THIS WITH ANOTHER CAR I OWNED AND AFTER SEVERAL CALLS THEY FINALLY SENT A REPLACEMENT TO THE DEALER AND REPLACED IT,. HOW IS IT MB CAN KEEP GOING ON ALMOST 3 YEARS WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING? IF MY CHILD GETS HURT DUE TO THIS I WOULD BE FORCED TO PURSUE LITIGATION. IT SEEMS LIKE THEY ARE JUST DRAGGING THEIR FEET.

TRUNK HAS OPENED 6 - 8 TIMES ON ITS OWN. IN JUST OVER 5,000 MILES OF OWNERSHIP AND TWO DOCUMENTED ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. THE TRUNK OPENS ON ITS OWN IN NEARLY ANY COMBINATION OF; IN MOTION, STOPPED, IN GEAR, OUT OF GEAR, MODERATE SPEED (40-50 MPH), LOW SPEED (A CRAWL) COOL TEMPS., WARM TEMPS., TOP UP, TOP DOWN. I HAVE EVEN TRIED, WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION, TO DELIBERATELY OPEN THE TRUNK WITH THE KEY FOB AND WITH THE DOOR MOUNTED RELEASE. IT DID NOT OPEN WHEN I TRIED TO REPLICATE AN UNINTENTIONAL OPENING. MOST RECENT INCIDENT, 10/24/2020- WHILE IN MY GARAGE, TEMPERATURE COOL ~ 65 DEGREES, KEY IN IGNITION ENGINE AND RUNNING FOR ABOUT 1-2 MINUTES, BOTH CAR DOORS CLOSED, PUTTING ON SEAT BELT, EMERGENCY BRAKE STILL ON, STILL IN PARK, HEARD THE TRUNK POP OPEN. CONFIRMED THE OPEN TRUNK IN THE REAR-VIEW MIRROR. THE EIGHT + MONTHS BETWEEN THIS OCCURRENCE AND THE LAST ATTEMPT TO REPAIR IS MISLEADING AS THE CAR'S BEEN DRIVEN LESS THAN 500 MILES BETWEEN THE LAST REPAIR AND WHEN THE TRUNK OPENED ON ITS OWN THIS TIME.

RECALL NOTICES AND FAILURE TO PROVIDE A REMEDY FOR STEERING COLUMN ISSUES, ETC. WHICH PRESENT POTENTIAL FOR DANGEROUS AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, HAVE SURFACED NO RESOLUTION. DEALERSHIPS HAVE IGNORED QUESTIONS AND REPRESENTATIVES HAVE BEEN HOSTILE WHEN ASKED ABOUT NUMEROUS SAFETY ISSUES.

AFTER DRIVING FOR 1 HOUR, BACK SEAT SHELF SPEAKER MADE A LOUD POPPING AND HUMMING NOISE AND EMITTED A STRONG BURNING SMELL. TRUNK OPENED AND CONFIRMED SMOKE COMING FROM REAR AMPLIFIER, STRONG SMELL OF PLASTIC MELTING AND SPEAKERS WERE TOO HOT TO TOUCH. DISCONNECTED AMPLIFIER FROM BATTERY AND TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER WHO CONFIRMED. DEALER RE-HOOKED AMPLIFIER TO BATTERY, CONFIRMED THAT AMPLIFIER WAS INDEED SMOKING AND SPEAKERS WOULD NEED REPLACING AS WELL. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 57,750 MILES AND IS OUT OF WARRANTEE. LOCAL DEALER MAINTENANCE REPRESENTATIVE AGREED THAT A VEHICLE WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE SHOULD NOT BE CATCHING FIRE BUT DEALER WOULD NOT COVER COST OF REPAIR.

WEATHER WAS HOT AND HAD BEEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAY FOR HOURS AT TIME OF INCIDENT. SPEAKERS STARTED POPPING WITH SOUND LIKE GUNFIRE. SMELLED LIKE ELECTRICAL FIRE WAS HAPPENING THEN SOME SMOKE SEEN. STOPPED CAR. STILL HEARD POPPING SEVERAL MINUTES AFTER CAR TURNED OFF AND EXITED CAR. MECHANIC WAS CALLED AND FOUND POPPING IN SPEAKERS AND ESPECIALLY REAR DECK BASS SPEAKERS. HE RECEIVED 2 SMALL 2ND DEGREE BURNS AFTER TOUCHING THEM WITH BACK OF HIS HAND. HE DISCONNECTED BASS SPEAKERS AND PROBLEM WAS MOSTLY SOLVED THOUGH SIMILAR BUT SINGLE POPS STILL PERIODICALLY CONTINUE ON/NEAR OTHER SPEAKERS IN CAR. WILL PROBABLY HAVE SAME FAILURE ISSUE ON REMAINING SPEAKERS IN NEAR FUTURE.

CAR PURCHASED 12\18,DEALER SAID HE HAD SAME PROBLEM WITH RECALL I SHOULD CALL MERCEDES. MERCADES SAID THEY WERE WAITING FOR AIR BAGS TO COME IN.HAVE NOT GOT ANY NOTICE THAT PROBLEM IS FIXED.I AM LEFT WITH A CAR THAT I WILL NOT HAVE A FRONT PASSENGER. +

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,579.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL COMING FROM INSIDE THE CAR. MY SON PULLED OVER AND OPENED THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM THE FRONT DOOR SPEAKER. WE FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ONLINE OF THE SAME ISSUE WITH SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL OF MERCEDES. WE BROUGHT IT TO RAY CATENA IN EDISON NJ EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM AND THEY STATED IT WAS NOT COVERED EVEN THOUGH THEY STATED A FAULTY AMPLIFIER AFTER TRYING TO REPLACE THE SPEAKER WHICH MELTED ON THEM AS WELL. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE AS MY SON COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED BE SO HE WAS DRIVING AT THE TIME. THIS WAS NOT A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR REPAIR.

HAVE WAITED OVER 3 YEARS TO GET AIR BAG REPLACED; MERCEDES BENZ DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY ARE STILL WAITING FOR PARTS

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT 40MPH ON A CITY STREET, ALL WARNING LIGHTS SUDDENLY CAME ON AND THE MOTOR STALLED. THE VEHICLE LOST ALL STEERING, BRAKING AND SPEED CONTROL. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE REMOVED FROM THE ROAD BY A TOW TRUCK. IT WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AS THE VEHICLE LOST ALL CONTROLS WHILE IN MOTION. THE VEHICLE WAS LOCKED IN PARK AND DASH WARNING OF "PRE-SAFE CONDITIONS, DO NOT SHIFT."

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR DOWN 880 UNTIL I SUDDENLY HEARD A CRACKLINGS NOISE COMING FROM THE BACK OF MY CAR. I HAD JUST GOTTEN THE CAR SERVICED A WEEK BEFORE SO THIS WAS VERY UNPLEASANT AND SURPRISING. I ENDED UP TURNING BACK AND PARKING MY CAR AT HOME. THE NEXT DAY WHILE DRIVING TO THE DEALER I STILL HEARD THE NOISE AND THERE WAS A WEIRD BURNING SMELL. THE NOISE CONTINUED EVEN AFTER SHUTTING OFF THE CAR. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY DIAGNOSED THAT THE RIGHT PASSENGER SPEAKER HAD MELTED AND THEY ALSO CHANGED MY AMP. IN MY DEALER NOTES, IT STATES THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES YET IT SEEMS LIKE THERE IS NO RECALL. *TR

ELECTRIC STEERING FAILED WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. ALMOST CRASHED, WIFE'S CAR, I WAS DRIVING. SHE WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO SAFELY GET THE CAR OFF THE ROAD.. STEERING FAILURE ALERT CAME ON DASH. WEEKEND, PROBLEM NOT DIAGNOSED YET. A WEB SITE SHOWS THAT THERE WAS A FACTORY RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM WITH CARS BUILT BETWEEN AUG. 2013 TO AUG. 2015. BAD ELECTRIC MOTORS. CAR HAS 32,000 MILES

I WAS EASING INTO MY GARAGE AND SUDDENLY THE CAR ACCELERATED AND THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK. *TR

'STEERING WHEEL MALFUNCTION' DISPLAY WHILE DRIVING. THE STEERING WHEEL COULDN'T BE TURNED. I COULD EITHER GO STRAIGHT OR REVERSE, BUT COULD NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I WAS DRIVING OUT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD, ALL OF THE SUDDEN, THE DISPLAY POPPED UP, BEFORE I WAS GOING DOWN THE CURVY HILL. THIS IS DANGEROUS THAT IT CAN JUST HAPPEN WHILE YOU DRIVE. IT CAN TAKE SOMEONE'S LIFE IF DRIVE OUT ON THE FREEWAY AT A HIGH SPEED AND THE STEERING WHEEL CANNOT BE TURNED. IT IS ALSO DANGEROUS FOR ME TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE I COULDN'T TURN LEFT OR RIGHT TO EVEN PARK THE CAR SAFELY. I WAS LUCKY THAT THE DISPLAY POPPED UP AND THE STEERING WHEEL MALFUNCTION OCCURRED BEFORE I DRIVE DOWN THE CURVY HILL TO GET ON THE FREEWAY. HAD THIS HAPPENED WHEN I GOT ON THE CURVY HILL OR THE FREEWAY, A POTENTIAL DEATH ACCIDENT COULD HAVE OCCURRED. *TR

MY 2014 MERCEDES-BENZ E350S WAGON HAS KNOWN DEFECTIVE WOOD TRIM THAT HAS FADED WITHIN 5 YEARS AND HAS BECAME CLOUDY, AND DETERIORATED OVER TIME DUE TO INADEQUATE UV RAY PROTECTION. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL LAW SUITES FOR MODELS 2009 TO 2016. THE DEALER AND MERCEDES-BENZ USA HEADQUARTERS TOLD ME THAT THAT THE WOOD WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT MY COST. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT AND THE DEALERS HAVE BEEN TOLD TO SELL CARS AND DON'T MENTION THAT THE WOOD WOULD FADE OVER TIME.

WHILE DRIVING THE ONBOARD COMPUTER FAILED RESULTING IN ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS GOING ON AND DISABLING THE POWER STEERING. MY MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT IT WAS DUE TO THE BLIND SPOT SENSORS WHICH ARE LOCATED IN THE REAR BUMPER GOING BAD BECAUSE OF SALT CORROSION. WROTE TO MERCEDES BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED EVEN A RESPONSE.

NOT YET REPLACED - RECALL INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE.

I RECEIVED AIRBAG RECALL NOTICE ONE YEAR AGO IN FEBRUARY 2019 AND AFTER CALLING THE MERCEDES BENZ DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES, HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE NEW PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. THE MB DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THE SITUATION.

2ND RIM TO CRACK UNDER NORMAL USE [IN FL, NOT THE NORTH EAST WITH POTHOLES] MERCEDES MECHANIC TOLD US THAT THEY NEVER SHOULD HAVE MOUNTED LOW PROFILE TIRES ON THIS RIM. THE TIRES DO NOT OFFER ENOUGH PROTECTION FOR THE RIM FROM NORMAL DRIVING HAZARDS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM AS A CRACKED RIM CAUSES FLATS, AT HIGH SPEED THAT CAN BE DEADLY

ACCORDING TO TAKATA, IN THE EVENT OF AN INFLATOR EXPLOSION, METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIR BAG CUSHION MATERIAL, WHICH MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. HOWEVER, A REMEDY IS NOT YET AVAILABLE? STILL??? I HAVE BEEN WAITING SINCE 2017!

POWER STEERING MALFUNCTION (CANNOT TURN BUT THE POWER WAS STILL ON. THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF DRIVER'S SEAT ALSO SHOWED THE MESSAGE.) SUDDENLY HAPPENED IN A SECOND WHEN I DROVE IN A LOW SPEED (AROUND 25-30). I WAS VERY VERY LUCKY ENOUGH TO SLIDE MY CAR SLOWLY BY THE CURB SINCE THE TRAFFIC WAS NOT HEAVY. I GOT MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER WHICH I JUST FINISHED MY YEARLY MAINTENANCE 10 DAYS AGO. THEY FOUND MY CAR'S COMPUTER HAD A BUG. THEY RE-PROGRAMMED MY CAR'S COMPUTER IN THE NEXT DAY. THE PROBLEM HAS SOLVED SO FAR. THIS HAD HAPPENED ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO. I GOOGLED TO FIND THIS PROBLEM SEEMS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES BEFORE BUT NO RECALL. I DID THE MAINTENANCE WITH THE DEALER EVERY YEAR. DUE TO THE DEFECT AND DEALER'S NEGLIGENCE, MY LIFE HAD SERIOUSLY THREATENED BY THIS CRITICAL SITUATION. I WOULD URGE YOU TO INVESTIGATE THE SEVERITY FOR THIS CASE TO AVOID OTHER ACCIDENTS HAPPENING.
