The contact owns a 2020 Mercedes-Benz C300. The contact stated that suddenly the vehicle's sensors were illuminating and activating a warning stated that the sensors were defective. Many of the vehicle's sensors began to deactivate and malfunction. While reversing out of a parking space the rear view camera and sensor system failed causing the contact to crash into another vehicle. Both vehicles were damaged. A police report was filed. There were no injuries reported. The vehicle was not towed. The contact took the vehicle to a repair facility and stated that there was damage to the internal sensor and camera system. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer however the vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired as of yet. The contact then received a recall notice NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V232000 (BACK OVER PREVENTION) however the VIN tool confirms remedy not yet available. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 3,000.

Automatic emergency braking system & forward collision warning. I experienced a medical emergency and blacked out, hitting 3 cars. The incident happened the morning of Dec. 31, 2021 and my car still has not been evaluated by Mercedes. I was taken to the ER and spent 3 days in the hospital.

On July 17, 2021 I was driving at the posted rate of speed down I-275 Southbound here in Michigan. All of the sudden and without warning, there was a loud explosion which happened, from as near as I can tell, in the driver's side windshield pillar, where there is an airbag. No warning lights came on, and the car did not change its driving characteristics. Only after I reached my destination and searched under the dash, and every where else (including the exterior), did I find that the plastic "cover" on the pillar is pushed away from the pillar and much more loose than the plastic cover on the passenger side. Since the incident, I have had severe tinnitus in my left ear which was about 15-18" away from it. The air bag did not deploy. I did not hit a pothole, did not hit a bump, did not hit another vehicle.

My car has failed to accelerate after being stopped. The first time, I was attempting to enter a shopping center parking lot by making a left turn across a busy road. When I engaged the gas pedal, the car finally got to 5MPH when I got into the parking lot. It was unsettling sitting in the road watching cars coming to you!! Then it did it again last week at the entrance to our complex. That time, I just turned it off and restarted it and it was fine. If it had not moved, I would have had the entire complex entrance blocked. I took it to Mercedes-Benz of Athens on 7/8 for 10,000 mile service. I informed them of the issue. The outcome this was "we unplugged a few things and hopefully this resets things". If you have the issue, bring the car in again! WOW!!! Is this before or after someone broadsides me? I think a vehicle that can not be depended on to accelerate when needed is dangerous to drive!

While driving on the turnpike without warning my steering locked and I lost control of my car.

The contact owns a 2020 Mercedes-Benz C300. The contact stated that her son was driving at an undisclosed speed when another vehicle's muffler detached and crashed into the undercarriage of the contact's vehicle. The front driver and passenger side tires exploded and fractured the rims. The contact stated that the vehicle's alert system failed to warn her son of the incoming object which resulted in the collision. The contact's son did not receive medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 6,000.

ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS, I HAVE RECEIVED AN AUDITABLE WARNING, AND A RED LIGHT ON THE DASH THAT DISAPPEARS AS QUICKLY AS IT HAPPENS. I CANNOT CONTRIBUTE ANY CAUSE FOR THE WARNING AND THERE ISN'T ANY RESIDUAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE SOURCE OF THE WARNING.

MY 2016 C300 (IN-LINE 4 TURBO, "PETROL" WITH 241HP) AT 55K MILES HAD 1ST CYLINDER CRACKED WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, AND MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I TALKED TO MY DEALERSHIP AND THE CORPORATE SEPARATELY. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD COVER THE COST OF THE PARTS WHETHER THE ENGINE NEEDS REPLACEMENT OR NOT, AS I BOUGHT MY CAR THERE NEW AND HAVE BEEN USING THEM THROUGH PREPAID MAINTENANCE. I DECIDED TO FIX THE CAR AND PAY THEM PRE-ARRANGED LABOR.
