2015 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA250 Complaints

On May 10th while driving on I-35 Texas highway, San Antonio Texas, the panoramic sunroof of our 2015 Mercedes Benz CLA 250 completely shattered while wife driving and daughter as a passenger, they heard a big bang and suddenly pieces of shattered glass fell all over the interior some of the glass hitting my wife and daughter in the face, they immediately pulled over to evaluate the situation. This could have caused an accident or significant injury. She had SAPD meet her at a gas station as she thought someone has shot at the glass, but officer confirmed that indeed the panoramic sunroof completely shattered. We tried to fix the panoramic roof and both Mercedes dealerships in San Antonio and Boerne Texas refused to repair the panoramic sunroof, we had to file a claim with our insurance and take the car to a collision center. The collision center stated that the sunroof was on back order from Mercedes Corp and had no timeline as to when the part would be available. Due to the car was not safe to drive and timeline on the parts, our insurance offered to total the car, but the car is almost new, low miles and in perfect mechanical condition so we declined. We received a call 4 months later that the car was fixed and the panoramic roof was installed.

On May 10th while driving on I-35 Texas highway, the panoramic sunroof of our 2015 Mercedes Benz CLA 250 shattered the whole panoramic sunroof, my daughter describes as some shot at the car. there was particles of glass on the driver side and passenger, very dangerous situation. She pulled over into a gas station and noticed there were pieces of glass shattered all over the interior some. The second incident happed about 2 weeks ago on the recalled part, while driving the panoramic sunroof stationary roof panel located between the windshield and the panoramic sunroof part came off while driving and hit the behind, luckily no one was harmed during the incident. I took the recalled letter to the local Mercedes in San Antonio refusing to fix the recalled part and apparently the part is not available and there is no date as to when is going to be available, in the meanwhile we can't drive the car. Also it took almost 4 months to replace the panoramic roof, I will file another complaint about the panoramic roof, apparently this is a common thing with this model CLA250.

I noticed for the last several weeks my car sometimes hesitates when I start the engine. I hadn't looked into it and wasn't sure what it could be because I changed my battery less than 2 years ago. I hoped it was a fluke or do to the increasing cold weather. Also the car occasionally shudders and hesitates when I increase and decrease speed and one or two the radio shut off on it's own. This morning, the automatic windshield wipers came on even though it was not raining and my windshield was not wet. This lasted for a few minutes before it stopped on it own. Then I drove about a mile and was at a stop light. When I eventually tried to accelerate, I wasn't able to and it was then that I noticed my car had slipped to neutral on it's own. I was on a busy road when this happened. The car also restarted on its own and I was able to shift to drive and continue driving. Thinking this was a fluke or perhaps a battery issue, I continued to drive for a few more minutes and again I found myself at a stop light and again, the car slipped into neutral. I quickly put my emergency lights on and restarted the car. The radio came but on, but I noticed the A/C did not come back on. I didn't bother turning it back on. I was able to drive 23 miles to my destination with no other incident. The majority of the 23 mile drive, after the car had stopped 2 times, was highway driving, so I did not need to stop much.

Incident on 10/18/21, while coasting into a parking space, my car suddenly accelerated and smashed into a concrete wall. Damage was extensive and car was determined a loss. Service was maintained throughout ownership. There was no warning, no lights, messages, no ABS brakes. Airbag did not deploy. Extensive seatbelt bruising. I'm upset car was a loss but I would never feel safe driving it. It was as if someone else had taken over control and I was powerless to alter the situation.

My collision assist keeps deactivating while driving. This causes my car to go into neutral. However there is not read of an issue with my vehicle per dealership

I checked the Carfax report for my car and there is a minor damage reported on 01/27/2020. It s not correct. My car never had any damage. Never. And there`s nothing there showing who did this report so I understand that it is a mistake and should be fixed please. Thank you.

)N 6/15/20 WHILE DRIVING TO A DOCTORS APPOINTMENT ON THE HIGHWAY, MY ENGINE SUDDENLY OVERHEATED AND IT WARNED ME TO PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY. THE VEHICLE HAD 37,800 MILES ON IT. ON DIAGNOSIS, IT WAS FOUND THAT A VALVE IN THE WATER PUMP HAD SEIZED FROM A COOLANT LEAK, PREVENTING IT FROM OPENING AND CIRCULATING COOLANT INTO THE ENGINE. UNFORTUNATELY, THE CAR WAS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY.,
