2014 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA250 Complaints

SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW IN DECEMBER 2014, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES AT LEAST TWICE EACH. THEY CONSTANTLY GET BUBBLES ON THE SIDEWALLS. I HAVE THE SPORTS EDITION, SO I HAVE THE GOODYEAR RUNSFLATS WHICH COST OVER $350 EACH.

THE FACTORY TIRES ON THE MERCEDES BENZ CLA 250 ARE DEFECTIVE. ALL 4 TIRES GOT BUBBLES IN THEM WHICH IS A DANGER TO ANYONE DRIVING AS THE TIRES COULD BLOW AT ANY TIME. THESE BUBBLES ARE NOT OBVIOUS SO I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THEM UNTIL I BROUGHT IN FOR SERVICE. LESS THAN A YEAR ALL 4 TIRES HAD ISSUES AND AFTER DOING RESEARCH I HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE POSTS ABOUT THESE TIRES AND BUBBLE ISSUES. GOODYEAR F1RUN FLATS.

WHILE DRIVING MY CLA THAT I HAVE ONLY HAD 4 MONTHS THE CAR TURNED OFF AND SAID IT'S INOPERABLE! I WAS ALMOST HIT MULTIPLE TIMES, WHEN DROPPED IT OF AT DEALER THEY WOULDN'T EVEN GIVE ME A LOAN. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW! *TR

CAR HAD NO ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC ON A MAJOR PARKWAY. VEHICLE INOPERABLE PRE SAFETY FEATURES DISABLED FLASHED ON THE MESSAGE CENTER. ENGINE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. VEHICLE TAKEN TO BE SERVICED AND THE ACCELERATOR MODULE REPLACED. MY CAR SEEMED OKAY UNTIL IT HAPPENED 4 MORE TIMES AGAIN WHILE DRIVING ON A PARKWAY. THIS OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 5 WEEKS AFTER THE CAR WAS "FIXED". SAME EXACT PROBLEM AND MESSAGE. IS MB WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET KILLED? SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I DON'T NEED TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT. I THOUGHT I WAS BUYING A SAFE DEPENDABLE VEHICLE WITH EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE. I SHOULD HAVE KEPT MY SONATA. I'M REALLY AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR AGAIN ONCE I GET IT BACK. *TR

RECENTLY, EVERY TIME I MA DRIVING IN THE RAIN, NO MATTER HOW LIGHT THE RAIN IS, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND A MESSAGE STATING"PRE SAFE, FUNCTIONS LIMITED, INOPERATIVE" SHOWS UP. THE VEHICLE HAS LOOSES ACCELERATION. THIS HAPPENED TO ME ON THE FREEWAY TODAY. THIS IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS AS IT COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRENT PROBLEM BASED ON A SIMPLE ONLINE SEARCH. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE PRE SAFE MODE POPPED UP SAYING "INOPERATIVE" AND "SEE OWNERS MANUAL". THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS SOME SORT OF TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. I WAS NEARLY IN A ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. WHEN GETTING STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AFTER PUSHING THE PEDAL. THEN IT WOULD ACCELERATE REAL FAST. LUCKILY I WAS ONLY 20 MINUTES FROM MY LOCAL MERCEDES DEALER SO I CALLED THEM AND TOLD THEM I WAS BRINGING THE CAR DIRECTLY TO THEM. THIS IS VERY SCARY AND FROM SEEING OTHER COMPLAINTS THERE MUST BE SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

INOPERATIVE - PRE-SAFE FUNCTIONS LIMITED - I'VE HAD THIS ERROR COME UP 3X SO FAR, IT HAPPENED 2X JUST LAST NIGHT ON A 10 MINUTE DRIVE. FIRST TIME WAS ON THE FREEWAY, HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND RESTARTED THE CAR. THE 2X OTHER TIMES HAPPENED LAST NIGHT, DRIVING 10MINS IN THE EVENING, BOTH HAD TO PULL OVER AND RESTART. THE SECOND TIME, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME UP. I HOPE THIS IS ADDRESSED QUICKLY AS I CAN SEE THAT THE COMPLAINTS ARE PILING UP ON HERE. *TR

INOPERABLE MESSAGE FLASHED ON THE DASH AS I LOST ALL ACCELERATION POWER. WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A SEMI, BUT WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE. LUCKILY I WAS NOT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT THE TIME AND DIDN'T GET HIT. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES NOW AND I AM STILL WAITING FOR MB TO GET BACK TO ME. *TR

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE CAR STARTED HESITATING, AND LURCHING REPEATEDLY. I WAS JUST ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT OFF OF THE BUSY STREET THAT I HAD BEEN DRIVING ON. ONCE IN THE PARKING LOT THE ENGINE TOTALLY DIED AND A MESSAGE OF "INOPERABLE" APPEARED ON THE MESSAGE SCREEN. THIS REQUIRED TOWING OF THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE INTAKE MANIFOLD PRESSURE SENSOR WAS FAULTY AS WELL AS THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR WAS FAULTY. ELECTRICAL INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT A GROUND STUD ON THE CHASSIS WAS PAINTED OVER AND NOT MAKING CONTACT. UPDATE OF SOFTWARE, CLEANING OF CONTACTS, AND REPLACEMENT OF SENSORS RESULTED IN SMOOTH RUNNING ENGINE. *TR

ACCELERATING FROM AN INTERSECTION AFTER THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, THE ENGINE BEGAN CHUGGING AND THUMPING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IMMEDIATELY AND THE ECO LIGHT STARTED FLASHING . THE ENGINE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES. WE DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE CAR. AT EVERY INTERSECTION WITH A RED LIGHT, IT SEEMED AS THOUGH THE CAR WOULD STALL AGAIN. WE DID MAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY KEPT IT FOR THREE DAYS, AND DETERMINED THAT IT WAS A DEFECTIVE MANIFOLD PRESSURE SENSOR. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE MANIFOLD PRESSURE SENSOR HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED. IN THE FIRST EPISODE ON OCTOBER 9TH, 2014, THE CAR DIED COMPLETELY AND THE MESSAGE "INOPERABLE" APPEARED IN THE MESSAGE SCREEN. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED IN THAT TIME. BOTH INSTANCES REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF THE SAME SENSOR AND AN UPDATE TO THE SOFTWARE. *TR
