I recently purchased my mercedes from auto boutique in pearland, texas (713) 352-0777. 1. The vehicle's air suspension system is constantly grinding, and moving/adjusting while being driven. It feels like the vehicles fame is off balance. 2. The back camera system does not work unless the radio is turned on; which is very alarming not to mention dangerous. 3. All the tires are registering improper inflation errors even though no air has been added or removed. I took the vehicle back to the place of origin; but they are not mercedes certified to address the issues. I am terrified to drive the vehicle, and it stays parked in the garage.
Takata recall - I had head-on collision accident on 02/03/2015, steering wheel and leg air bag was deployed, but caused me injury after it deployed to my hand, fingers and knees. Once leg air bad deployed, my right kneed hit the switch underneath the driver seat and caused injury. Mercedes don't install this switch underneath the seat anymore and I believe there was flaw in design and location of this switch and now they changed the location of switch. They might have found something in their testing. Please see pictures of my injuries on fingers caused by steering wheel airbag and knee injury by leg air bad hitting the switch. I have more pictures of accident scene and would like to share. Around 8:05 am I left my home to go to work. When I was on bridge near the fire station, I saw silver car came in my lane and driving towards me. I came in my mind that this car is going to hit me and as it was coming closer and thought came in my mind that I might die. I moved slowly to right on the shoulder of bridge to avoid the accident and stopped my vehicle, next thing I know l hear loud sound, gas & burning smell. I thought my vehicle is going to catch fire. I don¿t know where the strength came in me and I was able to get out of my vehicle walk away 10-15 yard away from my car. Police report filed - yes both cars driver were taken to hospital in an ambulance. . Read more...
