2010 MERCEDES-BENZ E350 Complaints

There’s a squeakly sound coming from my brakes. I have to start breaking very early in order for to be safe. It you feels very dangerous to drive this vehicle. I had my brakes change twice in the same year because of the same problem and it has not fix the problem.

My family has owned this vehicle since 2013 when it was purchased from the local Mercedes dealership as certified pre-owned. In the past few years, we have had to have several of the rear brake lines replaced due to rust. The last time, we were told by the mechanic that the complete rear subframe would have to be replaced due to rust. Specifically the attachment points from the subframe to the rear suspension have completely rusted through. I contacted the dealership where the car was purchased. They stated they are aware of this issue on almost all of the cars of that period but offered no solution other than a repair of $5,000. Many of the cars of that era and class have serious rust issues but Mercedes chooses to do nothing about it. This is a serious safety issue because the entire rear suspension and brakes attach to the subframe and could come loose at any point while driving. I would like this to be repaired by the manufacturer. Thank you

Even though the my Mercedes is a 2010, it has forty three thousand miles and garaged for it's lifetime. The brakes lines are rotted and leak. This is a serious safety issue and should be looked into. I'm sure I'm not not the only person with this issue. [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Very strong exterior exhaust odor, like gasoline, consistent and always prevalent but more so when fuel is at half or above. Afraid may spark if near open flame
