On Tuesday, January 16, I parked my vehicle on level ground at a shopping center and it rolled backwards out of the parking space and nearly hit a pedestrian. I had to press the brakes to stop the vehicle. I then pulled back into the space and put the vehicle in park again and the vehicle rolled backward out of the parking space. I repeated the sequence a third time and the vehicle rolled a little and stopped on its own. I immediately contacted mercedes of annapolis and the service person explained that the gears work on an electronic system and the issue was a �fluke. � the next day, the same thing happened with my vehicle. This time I paralleled parked, placed my vehicle in park and it rolled forward. I had to apply the brakes to keep from hitting the vehicle in front of mine. I backed up my vehicle and placed the vehicle in park and it rolled forward again. I did it a third time and the vehicle came to an abrupt and jerky stop.
The interior door handles are not engineered correctly and break easily. I have had to replace mine 3 time at $1000 every time it breaks. This is a big safety hazard should I have to exit the vehicle for any type of emergency. It can also put people in harms way as most people due not have $1000 on hand to dump out every time one of these handles break and would have to wait conciderable time before repairs can be made. The car may be the only means they have to get to work. Very unsafe situation.
