3 Exterior Lighting problem of the 2016 Mercedes Benz E350

Failure Date: 06/04/2024

Dealership stated on 6/4/24 extensive rust and perforations on rear vehicle sub frame that can cause risk to driver of accident or injury. Mbusa is offering to replace sub frame part # 212 350 38 05. However dealership advised mbusa is not offering to replace corroded brake lines or brake fluid exchange, and would need to come out of pocket. Mbusa failed to notify me of safety defect. Vehicle was purchased from mb of arlington, va in 4/2019 however dealership sold vehicle that is dangerous to drive. The vehicle also has additional safety defects such as a passenger tail light that does not work, and a license plate light not functioning. Dealership wants an additional $1500 to replace these (2) lights. Vehicle has low mileage at 60,000 and was purchased with 35,000 under mb cpo program. I am very disappointed in Mercedes Benz and have never had so many quality and safety issues with any of my prior e-classes before. I contacted mbusa and opened up a executive care escalations case [xxx}. There was no warning lights of the impending safety feature. The level of rust on the sub frame is horrifying, and this vehicle should never have been sold to me under mb cpo. In addition, the vehicle engine is leaking oil in multiple places and could catch fire in any moment. I have never seen so many issues on a vehicle with low mileage, especially with a mercedes. Dealer is refusing to assist with cost, and wants 2k+ to replace engine gaskets. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

11 Exterior Lighting problem of the 2006 Mercedes Benz E350

Failure Date: 06/22/2012

My E350 is 6 years old and has 77000 miles. The electrical wiring for the signal lights has disintegrated exposing bare wires and causing wires to short-circuit creating an extremely hazardous situation that prevents the vehicle from functioning correctly. This is creating a serious safety hazard with possible fire in engine area. This problem is a manufacturing defect. Mercedes benz tells me that because my car is out of warranty I have to pay for the repair which is about $1000. 00 dollars. The wire insulation should last a very long time if car is properly designed and this wiring problem should be corrected by the manufacture with no cost to the car owners. Due to the seriousness of this problem I recommend the national highway traffic safety administration to order Mercedes Benz to investigate this problem and issue a safety recall. The manufacturer is aware of this widespread defect but refuses to order a recall. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

12 Exterior Lighting problem of the 2006 Mercedes Benz E350

Failure Date: 05/22/2011

The main wiring harness for the engine, lighting, fuel injection and rest of critical functions of the vehicle has disintegrated due to a manufacturing defect. The manufacturer has used an inferior and unsuitable insulation for the wires, which, is brittle, cracking and falling off exposing bare wires, creating an extremely hazardous situation. The wire insulation deterioration is causing the wires to short and prevents the vehicle from functioning correctly. This is creating a serious safety hazard. (possible, fire in engine, etc). Due to the seriousness, I recommend the national highway traffic safety administration order the manufacture to properly investigate and issue a safety recall. The manufacturer is aware of this widespread defect but refuses to order a recall. I purchased this vehicle new and operated it under normal conditions. The vehicle has been regularly serviced and maintained by Mercedes Benz authorized dealers since it was new. The vehicle has been well kept and maintained. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated! thank you! gregory chassin.
