2013 MERCEDES-BENZ GLK350 Complaints

THE CAR PUTS ITSELF INTO AUTOMATIC "PARK" MODE WHEN SLOWING DOWN, APPLYING BRAKES AND SPEED DROPS BELOW 7 MPH. 9 INSTANCES HAVE HAPPENED, ONCE IN REVERSE. THE TEMPERATURE OF CAR NOT AN ISSUE, THIS OCCURRED WHETHER USING KEY FOB INSERTED TO START CAR OR USING PUSH BUTTON. DEALER BULLETIN LI54.25-P-056472 ADDRESSES ISSUE BUT NOT COVERED BY MANUFACTURER. LAST OCCURRENCE 6/7/2018.

TAKATA RECALL - WHERE IS THE REPLACEMENT PART FOR MY VEHICLE? I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM MERCEDES-BENZ STATING THAT "I WOULD BE CONTACTED IN THE FUTURE". THIS SEEMS LIKE INACTION FOR A RECALL THAT HAS BEEN IN EFFECT NOW FOR OVER THREE YEARS! PLEASE HELP.

MANUFACTURER IS STATING REPAIR TO A POTENTIALLY DEADLY AIRBAG WILL TAKE TILL JUNE 2019 TO REPAIR WHICH FAR EXCEEDS A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. THIS CAR IS DRIVEN EVERYDAY AND MERCEDES BENZ SHOULD HAVE AN INTERIM FIX TO PREVENT INJURIES, EVEN DEATH TO PASSENGERS IN THIS VEHICLE. I FEEL AS THOUGH I'M DRIVING THIS CAR WITH A LOADED GUN TO MY HEAD.
