I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding serious and repeated issues with my 2017 mercedes-benz E300, purchased and serviced exclusively by authorized mercedes-benz dealerships. 1. Repeated oem run-flat tire failures within the past two years, I have been forced to replace nine oem run-flat tires, including: • 3 replacements at mercedes-benz of tysons corner, va • 2 replacements at goodyear tires, cattlemen rd. , sarasota, FL • 4 additional replacements at certified service centers these failures occur under normal driving conditions, often without visible punctures or road hazards, and at safe speeds. Each tire replacement costs approximately $550, plus towing, diagnostic fees, and rental car costs. The financial and safety burdens are substantial, and this level of tire failure is not normal for any vehicle—particularly a low-mileage, luxury sedan. 2. Electrical/dashboard recording malfunction my dashboard service history fails to record service visits, even when performed at mercedes-benz dealerships. This is deeply concerning as it compromises vehicle resale value, warranty tracking, and transparency of maintenance records. Despite multiple visits and attempts by service centers, the issue persists without resolution. 3. Financial impact and brand reputation the total cost of repeated tire replacements and unresolved electrical issues has reached several thousand dollars, despite my vehicle having relatively low mileage and receiving all recommended service at authorized dealers. This experience is completely inconsistent with the quality and reliability promised by the mercedes-benz brand. I am requesting the following: • full investigation into the defect rate of oem run-flat tires on the 2017 e-class models • immediate inspection and repair of the dashboard/electrical recording issue at no cost to me • reimbursement for tire-related costs and associated expenses incurred due to repeated failures.
The front driver side coil spring ejected out while driving, causing the front of the car to dive down on the driver side. I do have the parts that came out. Luckily I had just got off of the freeway and was only going around 10 mph when it happened and no one was hurt. I'm sure at hwy speeds you could potentially lose control. This issue just happened today 11/19/23 and no repair shops, insurance or agencies have been notified. This is the first report of my problem. There were no warning signs noticed prior to the failure.
There is no spare tire and during our drive to las vegas the run flat tires blew out and the tire ripped off the rim. We couldn't even travel one mile on the run flat tires. We were stuck in the hot desert for over 2 1/2 hours before the towing car came. Mercedes did not let us know that due to run flat tires there was no spare tire but unfortunately the run flats don't work and cannot be driven not even 1 mile. Our lives were in danger and thank god we had water in the 100 degree heat in the desert.
The right side blind assist turns on when making a right turn and also gives false warning light and sound when there's no car. The run flat tires blew out and didn't work. There's no spare tire so I called mb sos. I had to call them 4 times to get them to send the towing truck. I was told it would be 45 minutes but it took over 2. 5 hours in the desert sun outside of las vegas.

My 2017 Mercedes Benz E300 car seems to have severe tire rim breaking issue. So far I have had to replace 2 rim's on this car and 3 tires. I use this car for commute to work and drive on highways in CT which are in pretty good condition. So this car is not going over on potholes or like. Hence I am very worried about the safety of the rims on this car. The staff at the dealership reported that they have seen other cars of the same model come for rim replacements much more frequently than other models. I have called mercedes and complained about this and have received no response.
