2014 MERCEDES-BENZ E350 Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 MERCEDES-BENZ E350. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED, THE STEERING ABILITY SEIZED AND THE POWER STEERING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT CALLED MERCEDES-BENZ AT QUIRK AUTO PARK (327 HOGAN RD, BANGOR, ME 04401, 207-299-1641) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 23,500.

WHILE PARKED FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES AFTER A SHORT DRIVE SMOKE BEGAN COMING OUT FROM THE FRONT GRILL, FROM UNDER THE HOOD, AND FROM WHEEL WELLS. FIRE DEPT. WAS CALLED IMMEDIATELY. THE FIRE STATION WAS NEXT TO THE PARKING LOT WHERE THE CAR WAS PARKED SO THEY ARRIVED QUICKLY. THE INSURANCE COMPANY DETERMINED THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS..

THE MB-TEX UPHOLSTERY HAS A 10 INCH TEAR ALONG THE "SEAM" OF THE UPHOLSTERY ON THE DRIVER'S SEAT NEAR THE CENTER OF THE SEAT. ON FURTHER RESEARCH, THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM RELATED TO MERCEDES WITH MB-TEX (NOT SIMPLY THIS YEAR AND MODEL).

I HAVE RECEIVED NOTICE TO REPLACE A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG. NOT A SINGLE DEALERSHIP IN GA HAS ONE TO REPLACE IT WITH.

TAKATA AIRBAGS: WARNING LIGHTS CONSTANTLY COME ON AND GO OFF INDICATING: "PASSENGER AIRBAG INOPERATIVE" & STEERING COLUMN MODULE GROUND: RECALL NOTICE GIVE, BUT NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX - THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE

NO REMEDY TO REPLACE DANGEROUS AIR BAGS. I LIVE IN HIGH HUMIDITY STATE OF FLORIDA WHICH PUTS ME AT HIGHER RISK.

I SAW "POWER STEERING MALFUNCTION" LIGHT APPEARED AND MY POWER STEERING STOP WORKING IMMEDIATELY. THE CAR WAS IN DRIVABLE CONDITION AND I HAD TO MAKE ONLY ONE RIGHT TURN TO REACH HOME. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN MILEAGE ON MY CAR WAS 30509 WELL BELOW 50,000-MILE WARRANTY. EARLIER YEAR AGO, I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH SALVAGE LICENSE. SALVAGE LICENSE WAS ISSUED AS CAR WAS STOLEN AND INSURNACE COMPANY WAS NOT ABLE TO RECOVER. IT WAS RECOVERED AFTER THAT WITHOUT ANY DAMAGE.NO ACCIDENT TO THE CAR. MB HAS VOIDED THE WARRANTY DUE TO SALVAGE LICENSE. I WANT TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION (IRRESPECTIVE OF TYPE OF TITLE) AS INHERENT PROBLEM EXIST.

THE VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT USED WITH 10000 MILES IT NOW HAS APPROX 25000 SO IN 15000 I'VE HAD 6 TIRES CHANGED ON THE VEHICLES DO TO FLATS. IN ONE OF THE INSTANCE I GOT A DOUBLE FLAT AT THE SAME TIME AND SINCE THE TIRES ARE NEW ON THE VEHICLE I UNFORTUNATELY HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRES WITH THE SAME TIRES. THESE TIRE GO FLAT AT A BLINK THE SIDE WALLS ARE THIN AND GET SLICED EASLY THE TREAD PART OF THE TIRE GETS PUNCTUED EASILY AND OFTEN THE REPAIR SHOP TELLS YOU THAT THE FLATS HAVE DAMAGE THE TIRES AND CANNOT BE REPAIRED SO YOU HAVE TO BUY A NEW ONE @$275.00. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A VEHICLE THAT HAS HAD THIS MANY TIRE PROBLEMS. I BELIEVE THESE TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE AND ARE GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THEY ARE EASILY DAMAGED. THERE ARE ALSO SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THESE TIRES AND CONTINENTAL NOT EVEN ACKNOWLEGING PEOPLES COMPLAINTS, SOME ONE NEEDS TO CHECK THESE OUT.

HELLO, I AM WRITING IN CONCERNS FOR MY AIR BAG SAFETY ISSUES. MY LIGHT HAVE BEEN ON STATING THAT THERE IS A ISSUE WITH THE FRONT LEFT PANEL AIRBAG AND I INFORM NY DEALERSHIP OF THE LETTER I RECEIVED AND I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED MORE INFORMATION IN ORDER FOR THEM TO COVER THE COST TO REPAIR.
