MERCEDES DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THE REAR MAIN SEAL OF MY AUTOMOBILE IS LEAKING AND COULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THEY HAVE REFUSED TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY VIOLATION. THEY HAVE TO PULL THE ENGINE TO CORRECT IT. THIS LEAKAGE COULD CAUSE A FIRE CAUSING LOSS OF LIFE. I WAS INFORMED THE DEALER WOULD REPAIR THIS FOR ANYONE DRIVING A 2014 DIESEL AUTO. SINCE LESS THEN 3% OF CARS ARE DIESEL POWERED THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A WAY FOR MERCEDES TO AVOID REPAIRS. THEY STARTED REPAIRING THIS PROBLEM IN DIESEL CARS BEFORE MY WARRANTY EXPIRED. I HAVE BROUGHT MY MERCEDES IN FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE CHECKS. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE COMPANY IS TRYING TO AVOID LOSSES RATHER THAN REPAIRING SAFETY PROBLEMS. MY AUTO WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW. I AM WORRIED ABOUT MY LIFE AND MY CHILDREN. THIS IS GROSS NEGLIGENCE AND COULD LEAD TO LOSS OF LIFE IF NOT CORRECTED.

I HAVE HAD 6 BLOW OUTS OR BUMPS IN MY TIMES IN 2.5 YEARS WITH THESE CONTIPROCONTACT 245/40 R 18 97V TIRES IN NORMAL, URBAN DRIVING. THE REP AT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE TIRES AND HE DOES NOT RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE. THE MOST RECENT BLOWOUT HAPPENED WITH I WAS DRIVING 40 MPH AND I DID NOT HIT A POTHOLE OR BUMP. THAT TIRE WAS ONLY 3 MONTHS OLD WHEN IT BLEW. IN THE PREVIOUS 10 YEARS, I HAD 2 BLOW OUTS ON MY PREVIOUS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE

THE VEHICLE WAS IN TRANSIT ON THE HIGHWAY AT CRUISING SPEEDS WHEN SUDDENLY THE RIGHT REAR SPEAKER BEGAN TO MAKE NOISES THAT SOUNDED LIKE A RATTLING OR CRACKLING. PREVIOUSLY, THE CAR HAD BEEN MAKING SIMILAR CRACKLING NOISES FROM THE FRONT DASHBOARD, HOWEVER UPON THE SPREAD OF THIS NOISE TO THE RIGHT REAR SPEAKER, THE CAR SOON FILLED WITH THE SMELL OF BURNING RUBBER AND SMOKE. AS THE SMELL PROGRESSED, I PULLED OVER IN FEAR OF A POTENTIAL FIRE AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED AFTER I WAS TOLD THAT IT COULD CATCH ON FIRE IF I CONTINUED DRIVING IT. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT COULD MORE SEVERELY EFFECT ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL SHOULD THEY NOT BE AS KEEN ON NOTICING CABIN SOUNDS AND OR THE SMELL OF SMOKE. THE SMELL OF SMOKE IS RATHER POTENT AND INTENSE THOUGH, SO IT IS UNLIKELY THAT WOULD GO UNNOTICED.

SPEAKER IN RIGHT REAR DOOR HAS MELTED FOR THE SECOND TIME IN 5 MONTHS, CREATING A BURNING ODOR IN VEHICLE.

FOOT ON BRAKE TO EFFECT REVERSE AND THE ENGINE ACCELERATED AT HIGH SPEED UNCONTROLLED AND HIT TWO CARS IN REVERSE AND TOTALLY DESTROYED MY CAR.. THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED IN A PARKING LOT

REPEATED FLAT TIRE/TIRE DAMAGE WHILE DRIVING OVER SMALL POTHOLES IN ROAD IN WASHINGTON DC METRO AREA(SMALL ROADS/HIGHWAY). FREQUENTLY 2 TIRES ARE DAMAGED ON THE SAME SIDE. . REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF NINE TIRES SINCE 2015 WITH FIVE TIRES CHANGED OVER THE LAST 5 MONTHS(SINCE AUGUST 2018).APPARENTLY, LOW PROFILE CONTINENTAL TIRES(245/40R18) USED BY MERCEDES FOR THE E350 ARE KNOWN TO BE A ROAD HAZARD. ON ONE OCCASION, A "BUBBLE" WAS NOTED DURING INSPECTION OF TIRE. I WAS TOLD NO OTHER/MORE DURABLE TIRES CAN BE USED WITH THE E350 MODEL! CLEARLY, THIS TIRE MODEL IS PRONE FOR FREQUENT FAILURE AND MAY PRESENT A ROAD HAZARD FOR DRIVERS AND CAR OCCUPANTS.

PRE SAFE COLLISION WARNING- THE LIGHTS BEEPS WHEN THERE IS NOTHING IN FRONT OUR NEXT TO ME. IT IS VERY DISTRACTING. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES ALREADY FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. NOW IT IS STILL BEEPING. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BECAUSE IT IS VERY DISTRACTING AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

I WAS DRIVING ON ROUTE 40 (SPEED LIMIT 55MPH, BUT 45 MPH DUE TO CONSTRUCTION) WHEN I BEGAN HEARING RATTLING IN MY REAR PASSENGER SIDE SPEAKER, THEN CRACKLING, A BURNING SMELL AND THEN SMOKE FILLED MY VEHICLE. I BELIEVED MY VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE. HAD I NOT REMAINED CALM, I COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I ENDED UP DRIVING TO A NEARBY WALMART PARKING LOT WHERE I LEFT MY VEHICLE UNTIL IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER ALSO CONFIRMED SMELLING THE BURNING UPON STARTING MY VEHICLE TO PULL IT ONTO THE TOW TRUCK. THIS HAPPENED ALTHOUGH NO AUDIO WAS BEING USED IN THE VEHICLE. I GOOGLED THE ISSUE AND LOCATED SIMILAR STORIES ON MBWORLD.ORG FORUM DATING BACK TO 2016. THE ISSUE IS MELTING HARMON KARDON SPEAKERS IN THE 2014 E350 MODEL. SPEAKERS DO NOT MELT AS A PART OF NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR, BUT BECAUSE OF POOR WIRING, ADHESIVE AND/OR CRAFTSMANSHIP. MY SERVICE ADVISOR CALLED ME TODAY AND CONFIRMED MY SUSPICIONS THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SPEAKER HAD IN FACT MELTED AND MY FRONT DRIVER SIDE SPEAKER IS ALSO IN THE PROCESS OF SUFFERING THE SAME FATE. BOTH NEED REPLACING. BECAUSE MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN OUT OF WARRANTY FOR JUST OVER A YEAR, THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE AND IT IS NOT A "KNOWN ISSUE" I AM EXPECTED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR 2 MALFUNCTIONING/ MELTING SPEAKERS CAUSED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, COULD HAVE CAUSED BOTH AN ELECTRICAL FIRE IN MY VEHICLE (NEAR MY GAS TANK) AND ME TO HAVE GOTTEN IN AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL BEFORE

RIGHT REAR SPEAKER STARTED MAKING A CRACKLING SOUND AND INTERIOR SMELLS LIKE BURNING RUBBER OR WIRES. SOUND HAPPENS EVEN IF RADIO IS TURNED OFF.

08/13/2018 WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME TODAY STEERING AND BRAKES FAILED FOR LIKE 1-2 MINUTES AND I LOST CONTROL.. THEN ALL THE INSTRUMENT WARNING LIGHTING STARTED TO FLASH CONTINUALLY THE TEMP GAUGE AND RPM WAS IN MOTION. SRS AND ALL PRE SAFE FUNCTIONS MALFUNCTIONED I CAN SEND AN VIDEO OF THIS IF THERE IS A WAY TO UPLOAD. I THINK THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHAT IF I LOST CONTROL ON A HIGHWAY, EVEN FOR A SPLIT SECONDS. WHY I BOUGHT A MERCEDES I THOUGHT ITS A SAFER CAR WELL THAT'S HOW THEY ADVERTISE IT THE BEST OR NOTHING. BUT THAT COUPLE OF MINUTES WAS SCARY AND SHOCKING FOR ME

PRE SAFE COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM FAULT, WITH REPEATED FALSE ALERTS WHILE VEHICLE IN MOTION, WITHOUT ANY NEARBY VEHICLES OR OBSTRUCTIONS AHEAD. FALSE ALERTS CAN RESULT IN SUDDEN BRAKING RESPONSE, WHICH CAN BE A HAZARD TO FOLLOWING OR SURROUNDING TRAFFIC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 MERCEDES-BENZ E350. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE SPEAKERS IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE AND THEN BEGAN TO SMOKE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (MERCEDES-BENZ OF SOUTH ORLANDO, 4301 MILLENIA BLVD, ORLANDO, FL 32839, 888-398-3936) WHERE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING FOUND NO FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,968.

WHILE DRIVING EAST BOUND ON HWY20 A SMALL PIECE OF GRAVEL/ROCK HIT THE WINDSHIELD AND MADE A SMALL DING. OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS A CRACK BEGAN TO FORM THAT BEGAN AT THE BASE OF THE WINDSHIELD AND SPREAD UP AND ANGLED ACROSS THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 MERCEDES-BENZ E350. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED, THE STEERING ABILITY SEIZED AND THE POWER STEERING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 23,500.

WHILE PARKED FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES AFTER A SHORT DRIVE SMOKE BEGAN COMING OUT FROM THE FRONT GRILL, FROM UNDER THE HOOD, AND FROM WHEEL WELLS. FIRE DEPT. WAS CALLED IMMEDIATELY. THE FIRE STATION WAS NEXT TO THE PARKING LOT WHERE THE CAR WAS PARKED SO THEY ARRIVED QUICKLY. THE INSURANCE COMPANY DETERMINED THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS..

THE MB-TEX UPHOLSTERY HAS A 10 INCH TEAR ALONG THE "SEAM" OF THE UPHOLSTERY ON THE DRIVER'S SEAT NEAR THE CENTER OF THE SEAT. ON FURTHER RESEARCH, THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM RELATED TO MERCEDES WITH MB-TEX (NOT SIMPLY THIS YEAR AND MODEL).

I HAVE RECEIVED NOTICE TO REPLACE A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG. NOT A SINGLE DEALERSHIP IN GA HAS ONE TO REPLACE IT WITH.

TAKATA AIRBAGS: WARNING LIGHTS CONSTANTLY COME ON AND GO OFF INDICATING: "PASSENGER AIRBAG INOPERATIVE" & STEERING COLUMN MODULE GROUND: RECALL NOTICE GIVE, BUT NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX - THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE

NO REMEDY TO REPLACE DANGEROUS AIR BAGS. I LIVE IN HIGH HUMIDITY STATE OF FLORIDA WHICH PUTS ME AT HIGHER RISK.

I SAW "POWER STEERING MALFUNCTION" LIGHT APPEARED AND MY POWER STEERING STOP WORKING IMMEDIATELY. THE CAR WAS IN DRIVABLE CONDITION AND I HAD TO MAKE ONLY ONE RIGHT TURN TO REACH HOME. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN MILEAGE ON MY CAR WAS 30509 WELL BELOW 50,000-MILE WARRANTY. EARLIER YEAR AGO, I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH SALVAGE LICENSE. SALVAGE LICENSE WAS ISSUED AS CAR WAS STOLEN AND INSURNACE COMPANY WAS NOT ABLE TO RECOVER. IT WAS RECOVERED AFTER THAT WITHOUT ANY DAMAGE.NO ACCIDENT TO THE CAR. MB HAS VOIDED THE WARRANTY DUE TO SALVAGE LICENSE. I WANT TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION (IRRESPECTIVE OF TYPE OF TITLE) AS INHERENT PROBLEM EXIST.

HELLO, I AM WRITING IN CONCERNS FOR MY AIR BAG SAFETY ISSUES. MY LIGHT HAVE BEEN ON STATING THAT THERE IS A ISSUE WITH THE FRONT LEFT PANEL AIRBAG AND I INFORM NY DEALERSHIP OF THE LETTER I RECEIVED AND I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED MORE INFORMATION IN ORDER FOR THEM TO COVER THE COST TO REPAIR. PLEASE ADVISE. ALSO MY FRONT DRIVERS SEAT KEEP CRACKING. I HAVE HAD THE SPLITS REPAIRED TWICE AND NOW OTHERS HAVE APPEARED.

THE VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT USED WITH 10000 MILES IT NOW HAS APPROX 25000 SO IN 15000 I'VE HAD 6 TIRES CHANGED ON THE VEHICLES DO TO FLATS. IN ONE OF THE INSTANCE I GOT A DOUBLE FLAT AT THE SAME TIME AND SINCE THE TIRES ARE NEW ON THE VEHICLE I UNFORTUNATELY HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRES WITH THE SAME TIRES. THESE TIRE GO FLAT AT A BLINK THE SIDE WALLS ARE THIN AND GET SLICED EASLY THE TREAD PART OF THE TIRE GETS PUNCTUED EASILY AND OFTEN THE REPAIR SHOP TELLS YOU THAT THE FLATS HAVE DAMAGE THE TIRES AND CANNOT BE REPAIRED SO YOU HAVE TO BUY A NEW ONE @$275.00. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A VEHICLE THAT HAS HAD THIS MANY TIRE PROBLEMS. I BELIEVE THESE TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE AND ARE GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THEY ARE EASILY DAMAGED. THERE ARE ALSO SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THESE TIRES AND CONTINENTAL NOT EVEN ACKNOWLEGING PEOPLES COMPLAINTS, SOME ONE NEEDS TO CHECK THESE OUT.

THIS VEHICLE IS. A 2014 MERCEDES BENZ E350 CABRIOLET ON THIS VECHILE THERE IS A LATCH ON FRONT SEATS THAT IF PULLED FORWARD WILL MAKE WAY TO ENTER REAR SEATS BEING THAT IDLY IS A TWO DOOR CAR THIS IS THE SAME LAY OUT FOR ACCESSING BACK SEATS FOR THE COUPE MODEL THE LATCH THAT MUST BE PULLED IS SOME KIND OF PLASTIC COVERED IN SOME KIND OF METAL. DECORATIVE MATERIAL THIS METAL HAS PEELED OF WITH NO CAUSE HE EDGES OF THIS METAL THAT IS DEFECTIVE ON THESE CARS IS EXTREMELY SHARP WE HAVE SEVERELY CUT ARE HANDS WITH OUT REALIZING THESE DEFECT WAS THERE I WAS INFORMED THAT OTHER CARS ALSO HAVE THESE PROBLEM IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY RISK BECAUSE IT IS A PART OF THE VEHICLE YOU MUST PHYSICALLY GRAB WITH YOUR HANDS TO HAVE BACK SEAT ACCESS THIS PATCH IS VERY DANGEROUSE PLEASE BE CARFULL IT CAN APPEAR OUT OF NO WHERE LIKE IT HAPPENED TO US EVERY THING WAS OK THEN THE METAL COATING JUST BECAME DEFECTIVE AND PEELING OF ON ITS OWN PS I HAVE BEEN TOLD FROM SERVICE ADVISORS THEY HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE AND OTHER PEOPLE HAVE BEEN INJURED THE BROWN STUFF ON THE LATCH IS BANDAIDS WE PLACED THERE SO OUR CHILDREN DON'T GET INJURED FROM THE METAL

ROTORS FAIL AFTER VEHICLE WAS IDLE FOR 12 WEEKS. RUST CAUSED THE ROTORS TO MAKE BRAKES PULSATE. DEALER WOULD NOT HONOR WARRANTY, AND MAINTAINED THAT THE ROTORS WERE WEAR AND TEAR ITEMS. BUT SHOP FOREMAN INFORMED ME THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS AND THAT THEY REPLACE ROTORS OF VEHICLES ON THE LOT WHICH HAVE SAT FOR SEVERAL WEEKS IN THE WINTER. UPON MY INSPECTION OF THE ROTORS IT WAS CLEAR TO SEE THAT THE RUST DID INDEED CAUSE THE SURFACE OF THE ROTORS TO SCORE AND DEFORM.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR STARTED TO SMELL OF FIRE ON 4/10/2017 @ APPROXIMATELY 1600 LESS THAN 1/4 MILE FROM HOME. PULLED CAR INTO DRIVE AND SHUT ENGINE DOWN, IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED MERCEDES-BENZ OF TAMPA. REP ASKED ME TO BRING CAR IN TO SERVICE DEPT. DID SO.

MY ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING STOP WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING. ON DASH"POWER STEERING MALFUNCTION-CHECK USER'S MANUAL" I WAS ABOUT GET CRASH, LUCKLY . PULLED OVER SAFELY. BARELY CAN TURN THE POWER STEERING. I TRY TO DRIVE NEXT DAY,STILL NOT WORKING.

THE PASSENGER SEAT HAD BEEN MOVED FORWARD USING THE LEVER OR HANDLE ON THE UPPER SEAT BACK SIDE TO MOVE THE SEAT FORWARD TO ENABLE A WOMAN WHJO HAD RECENTLY HAD BILATERAL KNEE REPLACEMENT SURGERY TO BE SEATED IN THE BACK SEAT. WHEN THE SEAT BACK WAS ERETURNED TO ITS UPRIGHT POSITION IT MOVED BACK FORCEFULLY INTO THIS WOMAN'S KNEES AND DID NOT STOP UNTIL HER HUSBAND REACHED THE SEAT BACK LEVER RLELEASED IT AND MOVED THE SEAT FORWARD. THIS CAUSED HER PAIN SHE SCREAMED AND FLAILED ABOUT WITH HER ARMS DAMAGING A REAR WIND SCREEN IN THE CAR. THE CAR WAS NOT IN MOTION. IT WAS STATIONARY IN MY DRIVEWAY. THERE IS NO SAFETY SENSOR. THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A TERRIBLE OUTCOME IF HER HUSBAND HAD BEEN SLOWER OR IF THERE HAD BEEN A SMALL CHILD OR A PET IN THE WRONG PLACE.

FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS WHEN I PUT MY 2014 E350 SPORT IN PARK IT WOULD JERK FORWARD. NEVER REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT IT BEING A PROBLEM. I WAS DRIVING MY CAR INTO MY NEIGHBORS DRIVEWAY AND WENT TO TURN AROUND AND JUST AS I WENT TO PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE, THE CAR PROPELLED FORWARD DIRECTLY INTO HER TREE. IF THE TREE HAD NOT BEEN THERE MY CAR WOULD HAVE WENT INTO THE FRONT OF HER HOUSE. I AM THANKFUL THAT I AM JUST SHAKEN UP AND A LITTLE SORE. I AM ALSO THANKFUL THAT I WAS THE ONLY ONE IN THE CAR DURING THIS FREAK EVENT AND THAT IF HAPPENED WHERE IT DID BECAUSE THE 2 OTHER TIMES THAT I WAS IN MY CAR THAT DAY IS WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND I WOULD HAVE DONE MAJOR DAMAGE TO MYSELF AND POSSIBLY SOMEONE ELSE. AT FIRST I BELIEVE MY SHOE GOT CAUGHT ON THE ACCELERATOR, BUT THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY THIS COULD BE THE ISSUE AS I WAS APPLYING IT TO THE BRAKE WHEN THE CAR PROPELLED FORWARD. FOR AS HARD AS I HIT THE TREE THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR BACK HOME WITH ALL THE COOLANT LEAKING FROM IT. *TR

I'M CURRENTLY DRIVING A 2104 E350 4MATIC WITH ABOUT 20,000MILES ON IT, THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL CRACKED FROM THE INSIDE. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH IT SEEMS THAT THE WHEELS CRACKING ON THE MERCEDES IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND A CLASS ACTION LAW SUITE HAS BEEN FILED IN NY FOR THE SAME. AFTER CONTACTING CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY SAID THEY DON'T HAVE THIS ISSUE IN THE DATABASE AND THEY WOULD NOT GIVE ME AN ESCALATION LINE OR ANYONE THAT'S WILLING TO LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM AND TAKE CARE OF.

JULY 23RD 2016 MY TIRE HAD A LEAK FROM UNKNOWN REASON , HAD IT REPLACED AND HAD A LEAK AGAIN ON SAME WHEEL ON AUGUST 5TH 2016 SAME TYPE OF LEAK , CONTINENTAL CONTIPROCONTACT SIZE 245/40/18 97V SIZE

WHILE DRIVING THE AIR PRESSURE NOTIFICATION LIT UP ON THE DASHBOARD. WITHIN 10 MINUTES I WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY I GLANCED AT THE TIRES TO SEE IF THEY ARE LOW (ONLY 3 LBS DIFFERENCE WAS LIT UP ON THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE) AND NOTICED ON THE FRONT LEFT TIRE THAT A BUBBLE ON THE SIDEWALL THAT HAD SUDDENLY APPEARED WHICH WAS NOT THERE EARLIER IN THE DAY.
