A DEFECTIVE RIM ON MY 2013 C250 CRACKED FROM INSIDE WHILE THE CAR WAS GOING AT BARELY 25MPH AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI CAMPUS CAUSING A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHICH COULD HAVE JEOPARDIZED MY DAUGHTER'S LIFE HAD SHE BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY AT A HIGHER SPEED. THE CAR IS NEW AND THE TIRES ARE IN IMMACULATE CONDITION. GEICO SAYS BENZ SHOULD PAY FOR THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT, BENZ SAYS GEICO SHOULD PAY FOR IT. I THINK THIS RIM SHOULD BE RECALLED BECAUSE IT IS A DANGEROUS PRODUCT THAT CAN GET PEOPLE KILLED IF IT HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS TRAVELING AT HIGHER SPEED. THANK YOU. *TR

HEAD ON COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE AND THE FRONT END OF A BRAND NEW 2013 MERCEDES C CLASS WAS DESTROYED. VEHICLE WAS LESS THAN A MONTH OLD. AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND I WONDER HOW THAT COULD BE WHEN THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WAS SMASHED IN. MERCEDES PRIDE THEIR VEHICLES ON SAFETY AND I'M VERY CONCERNED THAT THEIR NEW MODELS MAY NOT LIVE UP TO THAT STANDARD. AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED IN THIS ACCIDENT TO MINIMIZE INJURY OR DEATH. THESE NEW MODELS ARE SLOWLY TAKING TO THE STREETS AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED TO SEE IF THERE IS WARRANT FOR AN AIRBAG RECALL. MERCEDES NEEDS TO BE AWARE OF THIS BECAUSE THEY WILL BE DISTRIBUTING THESE VEHICLES ALL OVER THE GLOBE. NOT MUCH IS AVAILABLE ON A 2013 MODEL AND THIS IS A VITAL TIME TO INVESTIGATE BEFORE THE MASSES HAVE THESE VEHICLES WHERE MAJOR INJURIES OR DEATH MAY OCCUR. I FEEL LUCKY TO HAVE WALKED OUT WITH A CONCUSSION AND I HOPE THIS INVESTIGATION CAN PREVENT ANYONE ELSE FROM FUTURE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. *TR
