Right after the manufactures warranty ended, the left front srs malfunction light came on in my vehicle, accompanied by the air bag light. I did research and found that there are several people who suffer from this malfunction. The light does not go off and the air bag system will not deploy in case of an accident. This is a major issue that is incredibly expensive to fix (approx. Costs are over $1000. 00 at my dealership) and since it has been a recurring defect in the vehicle year after year, it needs to be fixed by mercedes at no cost to myself and other mercedes owners.

I was crossing two lanes of traffic and was hit on the passenger side by two suvs. The impact of the collision caused me to go airborne, I went front end first into a ditch embankment. The drivers side of the front end and¾ of the front end was pushed back into the motor area, causing the hood of the car to bend back towards the front window. The car was a total loss with approximately $21,000 worth of total damages. The only airbag that deployed was the passenger side airbags. Neither the front airbags nor the drivers side airbags deployed upon the collision. I sustained a fractured neck and broke my left arm. The break was so severe that I had to undergo surgery to have pins and plates put into my arm. My doctor told me that the hard force of the impact was the cause of my severely fractured arm with permanent nerve damage. I filed a complaint with mercedes because I felt the front air bag as well as the drivers side airbag should have deployed upon my collision into the embankment. Mercedes replied to my complaint stating the airbags worked properly. I purchased the car based on their advertised safety features and the outcome of my collision was totally not what I expected. Based on my research via the mercedes C300 online crash test demonstrates the front airbags deploying with the same front end damage with a similar type impact. Mercedes told me they sent an inspector out to look at the car but refused to provide me with details of their investigation, stating it was consider internal information. To this day, I still don't know why the airbags did not deploy. With the amount of front end and passenger side damage, I would have never thought the airbags would not have deployed. I would like a third party investigation to be done to determine if the airbag did deploy properly. I have pictures of the car and would be willing to send them.

I was driving on the parkway at ~40 mph and attempted to slow down by stepping on the brake. The car did not slow down but accelerated. And struck the car in front of me. Every time I pressed on the brake, the car accelerated so that the car struck the car in front twice. I tried to turn off the ignition and was unable to. Finally, I pushed hard on the brake enough to slow it down and I was ten able to put the car in neutral. The engine raced but I was then able to turn it off. Despite damage to the front of the vehicle, the airbags did not deploy.
