Yes, it is available for inspection upon request. The instrument cluster showed some messages* randomly appearing/beeping on and off but there were other issues present: • acceleration not possible in drive • at one point transmission would not shift from gear 3 • *speedometer would go up and down randomly until it eventually stayed at 0 physically and digitally as I was going 55-60 mph • *check engine light on • ‘brake’ light on • failed • *distance sensors failed • *stability control failed • *electronic braking system failed • *power steering failed • *cruise control failed • *mercedes pre-safe failed • *blind spot assist failed • *lane keeping assist failed • *adaptive highbeam assist failed • *mileage was not displaying on the dash • car would not shut off as I pushed the off button when I managed to eventually stop • *climate temperature sensor reaching temps of 127 degrees fahrenheit. I lost control of the vehicle while driving on the highway at relevant speeds. I was unable to safely stop for some time. If this had been at night, the issue would have been even more dangerous. This car has previously slammed on the brakes erroneously (no visually perceived danger of a forward collision). These previous brake slamming issues happened once in a traffic jam on the highway and once on a main road. Not that I know of or remember, no. Before this latest incident, I have previously left my car at the dealership’s workshop to be inspected for some relevant issues and concerns that I have had. It was there for almost 2 months on one occasion. There was only one warning lamp on the instrument cluster related to the collision prevention assist being inoperative. This message has been on the dash for maybe a year or more. The times it previously slammed on the brakes erroneously, no messages were on the dash.
I believe there is faulty wiring in the door speaker front passenger side. It causes crackling and humming. It lessens some when you turn eco off. Concerned it could ignite a fire. Once told by dealer it’s caused by rain going into the door. Next time told that just to look at the problem would be around $600 because it has steel doors??.
I was driving on north shepherd drive in houston, TX, at a speed of approximately 35 mph. While I was lightly braking to slow down for an upcoming intersection where I wished to turn, the car flashed 2 error lights--frontal collision avoidance system inoperable, and traction control system inoperable. At that moment, the car began to accelerate out of my control. It began to accelerate at a pace comparable to a full-throttle acceleration. At that moment, I turned off the vehicle and coasted to the side of the road. After a moment, I turned the car back on, electrical components responded as normal. However, there was a fluttering movement on the rpm levels on the tachymeter--even at idle levels.
When I try to put the vehicle in park the car is stuck in drive or reverse. If the car is in reverse or if the vehicle is in drive and you use the gear selector to put the vehicle in park or change and gear the vehicle does not change the gear. I bought this vehicle certified preowned from mercedes-benz dealership in July 2019 the vehicle has less than 4000 miles on it since I bought it certified and this issue has occurred. This is a safety issue which could have injury and or death. The mercedes-benz dealer is stating there was a fault code with the shifter attached to the steering wheel and need to replace the entire module due to an electrical fault. The dealership is refusing to honor disrepair under a safety maintenance from the manufacture. I have escalated this matter to mercedes-benz executive relations. This issue has been ongoing for the past several months since last year.
My collision prevention made my 2016 Mercedes Benz e400 slam on the breaks with no cars around other then the car parked to the side of the road and the cars behind me.
The contact owns a 2016 mercedes-benz E350. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator randomly flashed. The on star communication system generated reports and called to inquire if there was a crash. The dealer (mercedes-benz of beverly hills, 9250 beverly blvd, beverly hills, CA 90210, (310) 659-2980) was unable to disconnect the on star communication system and stated that the control unit prematurely failed because of coffee that may have spilled in that area. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact was uncertain if the vehicle would be repaired. The VIN and failure mileage were not available. . . Updated 10/25/17.
