2017 MERCEDES-BENZ E300 Complaints

WHEN APPLYING GAS AFTER BRAKING, THE CAR HAS AN INTERMITTENT STUTTER. THE CAR WAS RECALLED FOR A TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND AFTER THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED, THE PROBLEM APPEARED. LOCAL DEALER CALLS IT NORMAL

THIS SUNDAY, MY BROTHER IN LAW WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND I WAS SITTING I. PASSENGER SEAT AND MY 5 YEAR OLD NIECE IN THE BACKSEAT. SUDDENLY, THERE WAS A LOUD POP SOUND AND AFTER FEW SECONDS THE GLASS STARTED FALLING IN THE CAR FROM ABOVE, WE FOUND OUT THAT THE SUNROOF GLASS SHATTERED FOR NO REASON, NOTHING HIT THE CAR, NO POTHOLES, NOTHING AT ALL. MY BRO IN LAW DID GET HURT ON ON ARM AS A SMALL PIECE OF GLASS HIT HIM. IMMEDIATELY I CALLED MERCEDES BENZ ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND TOLD THEM TO PICK MY CAR FROM MY BRO IN LAWS HOUSE ONCE WE REACHED. NEXT DAY NO RESPONSE FROM MERCEDES BENZ AND AFTER 3 DAYS (TODAY IS WEDNESDAY) THE DEALERSHIP 'TEXTS' (STILL NO CALLS) SAYING THAT I WILL HAVE TO PAY $2126, THE THING IS I DON'T MIND PAYING SINCE I HAVE INSURANCE BUT WHAT ABOUT THE SAFETY FEATURES, WHEN I TOLD THAT SERVICE GUY ABOUT IT, HE SAID THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I EVEN TOLD ME ABOUT COMPLAINING IT TO YOU GUYS BUT STILL NOTHING. IT'S MERCEDES BENZ OF FOOTHILL BLVD, IRVINE, CA. APART FROM THAT, I LOOKED UP ONLINE AND I SAW FEW PEOPLE WHO HAVE SAME ISSUES AS ME (SUNROOF SHATTERING/BREAKING MERCEDES BENZ).

ROOF SPOILER DETACHED AFTER BEING REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES AND SAID TO BE FIXED BY MERCEDES BENZ DEALERSHIP. BRAKES VIBRATED FOR THE LIFE OF THE CAR WHEN NEW, REPORTED ISSUE 3 TIMES UNTIL FULLY WRAPPED ON FOURTH TIME VISITING SERVICE CENTER. DEALERSHIP DENIES FIX EVEN THOUGH PREVIOUSLY REPORTED.

MY 2017 MERCEDES BENZ E300 CAR SEEMS TO HAVE SEVERE TIRE RIM BREAKING ISSUE. SO FAR I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 2 RIM'S ON THIS CAR AND 3 TIRES. I USE THIS CAR FOR COMMUTE TO WORK AND DRIVE ON HIGHWAYS IN CT WHICH ARE IN PRETTY GOOD CONDITION. SO THIS CAR IS NOT GOING OVER ON POTHOLES OR LIKE. HENCE I AM VERY WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE RIMS ON THIS CAR. THE STAFF AT THE DEALERSHIP REPORTED THAT THEY HAVE SEEN OTHER CARS OF THE SAME MODEL COME FOR RIM REPLACEMENTS MUCH MORE FREQUENTLY THAN OTHER MODELS. I HAVE CALLED MERCEDES AND COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS AND HAVE RECEIVED NO RESPONSE.

THE DRIVERS EXTERIOR LEFT SIDE REARVIEW MIRROR IS OVERLY TOO LARGE AND IS MOUNTED APPROXIMATELY 2" TO 2.5" TOO HIGH . COMBINED WITH THE CO-LOCATED BODY ROOF SUPPORT BEAM BEING VERY LARGE THE DRIVER IS THEREFORE GREATLY IMPACTED BY THE COMBINED REDUCTION IN VISABILITY IN THAT ARC OF VISION WHILE TURNING LEFT. I'VE LEASED IN SUCCESSION 11 M/B SEDANS AND HAVE NEVER BEEN FACED WITH THIS PROBLEM. I'M 5'8", ATHLETIC, WELL AWARE OF ERGONOMICS, I'M A PE - SAFETY ENGINEER AND REALLY ANNOYED AND CONCERNED WITH THIS BIG BLIND SPOT AREA. I'VE FOUND THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY DRIVING LIFE I'VE HAD TO BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN TURNING LEFT PARTICULARLY IN VERY CONGESTED TRAFFIC SITUATIONS DUE TO THE LARGE REDUCTION IN VISIBILITY IN THAT AREA. PROBLEM STARTS IMMEDIATELY FROM A PARKED OR STOPPED SITUATION, LIKE AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT TO THEN INITIALLY START MOVING PARTICULARLY WHEN IMPLEMENTING A LEFT HAND TURN. VEHICLE LEASED ON 07/31/2017. PROBLEM HAS BEEN CONSTANT SINCE THEN.
