MY SUNROOF EXPLODED/SHATTERED WHILE I WAS DRIVING TODAY, TRAVELING AT A SPEED OF 45MPH ON CITY ROAD AFTER TURNING A CORNER. OUTSIDE TEMP WAS AROUND 85 AND INSIDE CAR WAS 75. CAR HAS AROUND 6800 MILES, AND THERE WAS NOTHING THAT HIT THE SUNROOF. SCARY SITUATION FOR THE DRIVER! CAR IS CURRENTLY UNDER WARRANTY AND AT THE DEALER FOR REPAIR, BUT THEY WANT MY INSURANCE TO PAY. I INSIST THIS BE INVESTIGATED BECAUSE I BELIEVE IT TO BE A MANUFACTURE DEFECT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 MERCEDES-BENZ C300. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM FAILED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 MERCEDES-BENZ C300. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER WITHOUT WARNING.

I WAS DRIVING 580-E AND MERGING ONTO I-5 S WHEN I HIT A HUMONGOUS POT HOLE WITH MY LEFT FONT TIRE CAUSING IT TO IMMEDIATELY BLOW OUT. THAT IN-TURN CAUSED MY STABILITY TRACKING TO ENGAGE, WHICH CAUSED ME TO SLOW DOWN DRASTICALLY. THAT CAUSED ANOTHER VEHICLE TO NEAR MISS RAMMING ME IN THE BACK AND ME SIDE SWIPING ANOTHER VEHICLE. I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND HAD TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER TO A VERY NARROW SHOULDER OF THE ROAD WITH MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS BLINKING. TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE, MY SELF AND OTHER PASSENGERS IN THE CAR, I HAD TO DRIVE APPROXIMATELY 0.5 MILES TO THE NEXT EXIT (67) TO SAFELY GET MY VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD TO A SAFE LOCATION. I THEN CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO TOW MY VEHICLE BACK TO SANTA ROSA WHERE I LIVE TO GET THE TIRE REPLACED AND FRONT BUMP REPAIRED. I AM UNSURE OF THE CAUSE OF THE UNSAFE CONDITION OF THE HIGHWAY OR WHAT CAUSED THE POT HOLE. THERE WERE SEVERAL CARS STRANDED WITH DAMAGES TO THEIR VEHICLES AS WELL. ONE PERSON CAME TO THE SAME EXIT (FOOD MART ON PATTERSON ROAD) WITH A BLOWN OUT TIRE AS WELL. I HAVE HER CONTACT INFORMATION IF YOU NEED TO CONTACT HER.

NEW CAR PURCHASES IN 2015, FEWER THAN 25000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING LOCALLY, "COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST" MALFUNCTION AND "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHTS LIT UP THE DASH BOARD. VEHICLE WOULD NOT PICK UP SPEED AND DRIVING WAS WEIRD. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO DEALERSHIP WHICH IS ABOUT 8 MILES AWAY. SITUATION COULD BE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS IF HAPPENS ON A HIGHWAY AND IT WARRANTS ATTENTION. *TR

WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP LIGHT FROM 0 TO SLIGHTLY OVER 40 MPH RECEIVED ERROR CODE OF ANTI COLLISION ASSIST INOPERABLE AND THE VEHICLE WENT FROM 40 MPH TO 0 LIKE I HIT A TREE. IT WAS NOT A SLOW SMOOTH MOTION OF SLOWING TO A STOP. THIS WAS A VIOLENT STOP THROWING ME FORWARD AND CAUSED MY SEAT BELTS TO ACTIVATE. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THERE WAS NOT A SINGLE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME, BEHIND ME OR BESIDE ME. THIS WAS NOTHING SHORT OF A MIRACLE BECAUSE IF ANYONE HAD BEEN BEHIND ME, I WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED AND IF ANYONE HAD BEEN IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE I WOULD HAVE HIT THEM AS THE VEHICLE PULLED TO THE RIGHT VERY HARD WHEN IT MALFUNCTIONED. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND TOLD THEM I DID NOT WANT THE CAR BACK UNLESS THEY COULD DETERMINE WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND COULD PROMISE THAT IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN. UPON READING SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME LIFE THREATENING ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION, THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY THAT MERCEDES BENZ IS NOT FULLY AWARE OF THE POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I HAVE CALLED MB USA AND WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD NEED TO FILE A CUSTOMER INQUIRY. DONE. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN APRIL 2016 WITH 7,200 MILES ON IT. I AM COMPLETELY TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THE CAR.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY & LOCAL ROADS, THE CAR SUDDENLY BECAME UNRESPONSIVE AND STARTED SHOWING MESSAGES THAT ALL SYSTEMS ARE INOPERATIVE. PRE SAFE FUNCTIONS LIMITED,AND INOPERATIVE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON ALONG WITH THE BLINDSPOT NOT ACTIVATED, ESP SYSTEM WAS OFF AS WELL. THE CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND HAD TO BE PULLED OVER TO TURN OFF AND ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3-4 TIMES AND ON BUSY ROADS, CAR IS SENT TO THE SHOP AND ONLY HAS 27000 MILES. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE AS I COULD DIE IN A CAR ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS [XXX] CAR. MERCEDES NEED TO RECALL THIS ASAP, IF THEY ARE NOT THEN WE SHOULD OPEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM AS THEY ARE PLAYING WITH OUR LIVES. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 MERCEDES-BENZ C300. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS INOPERATIVE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,800.

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
