Seven problems related to steering have been reported for the 2014 Mercedes Benz CLA250. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Was driving on a road with 3 lanes . I was in the right lane was switching to middle when my stering and brakes just locked up I was not able to control the car I ended up all the way in the left lane crashed into a car and ended up on the divider.
While driving 30 mph I received a red parking brake error and my car began to be very difficult to steer. I then pulled over and received a yellow pre-safe mode error which illuminated the check engine light, abs light, parking light. I took it took the dealer and was told it was a right tire sensor. This appears to be an ongoing problem with these cars and it's definitely not safe. This definitely needs to be recalled.
I was driving my car when all of a sudden the car slowed down and the steering became stiff. The pre safe light came on the screen along with "parking brake" "traction control" although the parking brake was not applied. I had to have my car towed home because it was unsafe to drive.
Bought the cla 250 brand new in 2014, vehicle has now twice gone in to pre-safe mode and inoperative mode while driving. The car switches to neutral as I am driving and then refuses to shift in to drive or reverse leaving me stranded in the streets on two occasion which could have caused two very serious accidents. The car on the second time had to be towed to dealership who could'nt find anything wrong with the car. There solution was more of a guess about a cpu needing to be replaced.
The contact owns a 2014 Mercedes Benz Cla250. While attempting to reverse, the steering wheel seized. In addition, the power steering malfunction, see manual was displayed across the message board. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 11,000. The VIN was unavailable.
While driving on the highway without notice my car completly shut off. Several notifications appear on the dash screen "inoperable see owners manual" this is the 2nd time in two days where this same dangerous life threatening issue occured.
As I was driving on the highway around 65 miles per hour, the vehicle's check engine came up and said " inoperative, pre safe inactive" I freaked out. I was at highways speeds and it was inoperative. I noticed that the power steering was affected and the vehicle was unresponsive when I accelerated. The abs system was disabled, I was scared even to brake because I know that when the abs system is disabled the brakes can lock up and cause an accident, injuries and even death. I have noticed that many Cla250 owners have the same problem.
