Equipment problem #1

Check engine light cel code p052e suddenly turned on in the winter about 1 1/2 year ago, but turned off itself after a month. The check engine light cel code p052e turned on suddenly in June 2024 and stays on still. Emailed and complaint to Mercedes Benz USA and received no answer. Mercedes benz USA given recall and emission extended warranty on this code to all c, e, g, , slc and slk class passenger cars with 2. 0 engine on August 25, 2023, but excluded my passenger van model, Metris, which has the same code and is a common problem. This is not right and not fair. Please advise and help.

Equipment problem #2

Check engine light on, code p052e(71) positive crankcase ventilation (pcv) regulator valve performance malfunction.

Equipment problem #3

A safety recall #22v482 was issued on this vehicle on 9/9/2022. It's now been nearly 18 months and the manufacturer has yet to issue a remedy or mark the recall "open" so we can get it addressed. The is effecting both the safety of operation, causing confusion over load ratings, and possibly effecting resell as this information is public. Please get this recall enforced.

Equipment problem #4

There was a tire recall for my van for incorrect tire load which causes exceeding wear and dangerous tire conditions. I keep getting my tires changed every year cause they wear down so fast. Mercedes and the dealership won’t reimburse me because it is still in a pending status which has been ongoing now for 2 years!!!.

Equipment problem #5

I am trying to get a safety recall handled, that states the possibility of crash if not taken care of. Mercedes still says a recall still pending. This was reported in September of 2022, and seems like an easy recall to handle. I am hoping to get this handled so I feel safe driving with my family in the van.

Equipment problem #6

Nhtsa recall number 22v482 recall incomplete, remedy not yet available for a very long time. While we can still operate the vehicle physically, it would be out of compliance to share the vehicle within the company while an active recall is not addressed by manufacture.

Equipment problem #7

There's no remedy available and it has been almost a whole year.

Equipment problem #8

My complaint is about the open recall on my vehicle, its been more than a year now and still there is no resolution in sight, due to the open recall I am unable to use my vehicle for my business and it's impacting me financially. On contacting several mercedes dealership, I am not getting any answers on when they will be able to fix the problem and remove the recall. Active safety recall for my vehicle • pdglastre (NHTSA #22v482).

Equipment problem #9

Mercedes knew in 2018 there was a problem with weighing loading. On sept 7 I received a recall notice. Now almost 3 month later they still have no fix. At this time my vehicle is in my mind unsafe to drive due to excessive tire wear on the fron end. Don't want to purchase 2 more tires at my expense, since I only have 23,000 miles on vehicle. Have replaced 2 at 15,000 miles. Seems like mercedes is just plain dragging this out and hoping said vehicle owners will drop the whole thing. Help!!.

Equipment problem #10

Engine temp drops 4 marks from regular operating temp. Come into town temp drops and heater blows cold air. Took to dealership they say everything is fine. It all checks out. Sent videos to them of what it is doing. Told to put a divider in but won't help if it cools drastically and blows cold air. Over a year this has been going on. Every time the weather turns cold. It's a safety hazard. A person could freeze to death. Vehicle in motion. City street.

Equipment problem #11

If a vehicle is in the driver's blind spot, but the bsm system does not warn the driver, there would be an increased risk of a crash.

Equipment problem #12

Side mirrors are too tall and too short! we almost got into accident for several times before but yesterday (7/17/17) was really close! I was changing to right lane when another car is so close I have to slam my brakes because my passenger mirror is so bad about visibility. Please help before we get hurt or worse. Thank you!.
