Vehicle presented with red light indicating to take vehicle to workshop in red. Braking was extremely difficult, srs system stalled the vehicle, emergency mode was activited,we were unable, at first to turn on the ignition switch. The vehicle operated as if it was paralyzed. We finally got the vehicle to run and turned vehicle into mb dealership. We were informed that the sbc unit was in need of replacement, we were beset with 1,800. 00 repair. The vehicle is very dangerous to drive if you are not prepared for longer stopping distances, thankfully my husband was able to get the vehicle to the dealership. I found myself not strong enough to press on the brake pedal for adequate braking distance. Fuel: upon fueling vehicle, the fuel handle will stop and immense amounts of fuel will spurt out from fuel tank. There is also a smell of gas/fuel in the cabin after fill up. This creates a huge spill and notification to attendant. Takes up a great amount of time to fill up tank. Surprisingly we haven't been charged for fuel spills. Srs: light on for safety response system, shortly after visit at mb dealership. Have not taken vehicle to mb dealership for fear of another expensive repair.

I was pulling out of my driveway, going ~5 mph, when I smelled something, there was an explosion by my head and the air curtains on the driver’s side self-deployed. After that my husband, a mechanic, deactivated the srs using the switch on the console of the car. However, approximately one year later, the air curtains and airbag on the passenger side self-deployed while he was driving the car. Then on or about July 31, 2014, a clear day, around 8:30 a. M. When my husband was driving the car at approximately 50 mph, he heard an explosion, the seatbelt retracted with such force that it caused a painful blow to his chest and pinned him into the car. He was able to drive the car off the road. At first he thought he might have been shot because of the noise from the explosion, it was hard to breathe and painful. However, after a few minutes, he realized it was the seatbelt and struggled to release it. The seatbelt put a gash in his left shoulder through his clothes. (we have pictures of the gash. ) in all of these incidents, we have not been in an accident, road conditions were good, we have not been speeding, and, therefore, did not call the police. Since then, we have taken the car off of the road because the seat belt no longer works, and driving the car without the seat belt would violate a new jersey statute. We're also concerned that there are more airbags that have the potential of spontaneously self-deploying while the car is being driven. We’ve contacted mercedes and were told to have the car towed to a dealer and pay for a diagnosis. We feel that the car should be recalled by mercedes because it is unsafe to drive and has the potential to cause an accident.
