2010 MERCEDES-BENZ E350 Complaints

I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AT MY HEALTH CLUB. AS I WAS ABOUT TO STOP, MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY AND VIOLENTLY ACCELERATED GOING INTO THE CURB, UP A DIRT BERM AND OVER SOME VERY LARGE BOULDERS. I NEVER MADE IT OVER THE BERM BECAUSE THE CAR GOT LODGED ONTO OF A LARGE ROCK. WHEN IT WAS OVER, IT TOOK A COUPLE OF SECONDS, I KNOW THAT MY FOOT WAS PUSHING HARD ON MY BRAKE. HOWEVER, I DOUBT THAT WOULD HAVE STOPPED THE CAR. I WILL REPORT THIS TO MERCEDES BENZ, HAVE IT CHECKED, BUT I AM NOT OPTIMISTIC THEY WILL FIND ANYTHING WRONG. *TR

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE DEPRESSED THE BRAKES AS HE APPROACHED THE INTERSECTION, BUT THEY FAILED TO RESPOND. FINALLY, AFTER GOING THROUGH THE RED LIGHT, HE CAME TO A FULL STOP. NO ONE WAS INJURED AND THE FAILURE WAS REPORTED. *TR

I BOUGHT THE MERCEDES E350 2010 MODEL ON OCTOBER OF 2010 AND ABOUT NOV 30, MY LEFT SIDE TIRE IS BUST OPEN SECONDARY TO POT HOLE GRAVEL, THE INCIDENCE IS VERY SCARY, ALL THE SUDDEN CAR IS I FULL STOP AND LEAN TO THE LEFT SIDE. I HAVE TO CHANGE THE TIRE AND WENT TO THE MERCEDES DEALER AND OTHER TIRES SHOP FOR REPAIR. THEN I WAS HEARD THIS COMBINATION OF TIRES 245/40 R18 97V WHICH IS RIM IS 18 INCHES AND TIRES THICKNESS IN THE SIDE ARE TO THIN WHICH MAKE EASILY RUPTURE WITH SLIGHT CONTACT OF ANY SHARP. I AM FEELING OF INSECURITY FOR FLAT TIRES ANYTIME EVEN I BOUGHT THE NEWEST MODEL LUXURY CAR. I WOULD LIKE NHTSA FOR LOOK INTO THE DANGEROUS COMBINATION OF TIRES AND RIM FOR SAFETY OF ALL DRIVERS IN THE ROAD. *TR

WE LEASED MERCEDES E350 YEAR 2010 IN FEBRUARY. CAR'S RESPONSE WAS VERY GOOD AND WE LIKED THE CAR VERY MUCH. ON JUNE 16 I DROVE THE CAR ON FREEWAY FOR ABOUT 23 MILES THEN ON THE ROAD FOR ANOTHER MILE WITH COUPLE OF RED LIGHT STOPS. THEN I TURNED LEFT INTO THE PARKING LOT AND RIGHT TURN IN TO THE PARKING SPOT. AS I WAS ABOUT TO PARK I HEARD ENGINE REVVING UP , (THIS SOUND I NEVER HEARD BEFORE EVEN WHEN I STARTED THE CAR) CAR LUNGED FORWARD ON THE PARKING MEDIAN WITH GRASS (INCLINE). TO AVOID RUNNING INTO THE CAR ON THE OTHER SIDE I TURNED RIGHT, I STARTED PUMPING THE BREAK, THERE WAS A TREE AND CAR CLIPPED BARK OF THE TREE, DAMAGING FRONT AND SIDE OF THE CAR. CAR STOPPED CROSSING OVER TO THE RIGHT. IGNITION KEY 'THING' POPPED. BOTH AIR BAGS ON THE DRIVER SIDE WERE DEPLOYED, CAR STOPPED WITH TWO FLAT TIRES ON THE DRIVER SIDE. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ON-COMING CAR IN THE PARKING LOT. IT IS MY OBSERVATION THAT SOME ERROR HAD OCCURRED FOR ENGINE TO REV UP LIKE THIS. KNEE AIR BAG DID LOT OF DAMAGE TO MY LEGS. LEFT LEG WAS BRUISED VERY HEAVILY AND SWELLED UP WHERE KNEE WAS NOT EVEN VISIBLE. THIS IS NOT TO COMPLAIN BUT TO DOCUMENT THE INCIDENCE. I WANT TO MAKE SURE IT DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN TO ME OR ANYONE ELSE. *TR
