When taking curves the vehicle is making a cracking noise but, mechanic said they don’t see anything. My w213 Mercedes Benz E300 just like all other mercedes is have a “crankcase” issue, it failed the engine keep revving but, not catching speed. I’ve seen multiple mercedes is having that issues and it’s very common. My vehicle computer communication system failed to communicate with the key sometimes won’t start and will run out of power overnight mainly happen during winter times and when it rains.
While the vehicle was parked, at approximately 6:15 pm on June 11, 2022 while I was retrieving my ipod that was on the cupholder of my wife’s car, I got cut on the back of my right hand by the chrome plating lining the top part of the cupholder. The cut was painful and was one centimeter long. After I got cut I noticed that the chrome plating around the cupholder was peeling off and was sharp to the touch. The peeling off was mainly on the middle to the left-hand side of the center console cupholder, it is razor sharp and very dangerous. Please warn other drivers about this danger. It would be especially dangerous if someone gets cut while driving the car. It seems other Mercedes Benz owners have had this issue too: here - https://mbworld.

I was in an automated car wash and the car was in park. When the wash was complete, I put the car in drive, but it would not moved forward. The proximity sensors kept sounding though there was nothing in the way. After shifting it in and out of gear, turning the steering when back and forth and pushing the accelerator to the floor for several minutes, the car finally shot forward out of the wash bay. I later called the in-car customer service line and they said that sometime the sensors get covered with the products used in the car wash.

Roof spoiler was replaced under recall 17v246, but had flown off numerous times. Roof spoiler was reattached but had flown off after 500 miles of driving. The roof spoiler started to banging against the rear windshield until it flew off driving at about 60 mph on a the highway. The spoiler flew off hitting another vehicle. This is a very big safety hazard as it can strike and kill.
