| Seat Belt problems |
I was driving in my son [xxx] to his school in wayne new jersey with my gl 450 seats warmer turned on in both the drivers and passenger seats. I started smelling smoke & thought it was from outside. I opened my window, and smoke started swirling inside my car and started getting thicker within minutes. I try to search for the source of the strange smell - but no obvious clue observed. When I reached my destination I noticed that the seat has burned a hole in my suit jacket back left side. The hole in the car is on the left side of the drivers seat. I have not contacted Mercedes Benz service and would like to know what I should do if possible. I would appreciate directing me to the appropriate line to fix my seat and electrical system of my Jeep and get compensated for my suit damage ASAP.
The plastic that holds the latch broke. We normally have a child seat buckled into that belt. But we were on a trip, and I was the one using this seat belt. I could not latch it, and found that a chunk of the plastic had broken away from the belt and would not latch. Mercedes and my extended protection plan will not replace it without a cost. Of apprx 170. 00 I have never had an issue with a safety device in any vehicle that I have owned, and I believe that a car that costs over 80,000. 00 would want to know why it has failed. I am grateful that my grand child was not buckled into this belt!.
