Brakes failed without warning. Repair shop removed the covering over brake lines and said they were rusted through. Towed to Mercedes dealership thinking it was part of recall and they said it wasn’t only the brake booster. Said nothing about rusted through brake lines! Someone’s going to get seriously injured driving not knowing their brake lines are rusted through.
All 1 complaints, reproduced as filed.
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
