2 Blind Spot Detection problem

Failure Date: 04/24/2025

I purchased a used mercedes-benz from freehold Mitsubishi in early 2024. Within hours, serious safety issues appeared, including a check engine light, cylinder misfire, evap leak, traction control failure, and blind spot assist malfunction. The vehicle’s ecm and wiring harness were later found damaged due to oil leaks and electrical shorts. Despite multiple repair attempts, the vehicle was returned in worse condition and remains unsafe to drive. I am reporting these issues due to their potential risk to vehicle safety.

4 Blind Spot Detection problem

Failure Date: 10/17/2017

Vehicle: 2014 mercedes-benz Ml350 VIN: 4jgda5hb4ea372665 I have experienced repeated failures of the blind spot assist / driver-assist system since purchasing this vehicle. When I first purchased the Ml350 in texas, the vehicle already showed warning messages (“blind spot assist inoperative / pre-safe function limited”). The dealer attempted repairs before delivery, but the defect persisted. After moving to new york, the problem continued. On June 26, 2023, I took the vehicle to the automaster mercedes-benz in shelburne, vt. Their diagnosis confirmed water intrusion into the blind spot radar sensors, consistent with mercedes-benz TSB li54. 71-p-056477. Both left and right sensors and wiring require replacement. This is a safety defect because blind spot assist and pre-safe features are disabled without warning, increasing risk of collision when changing lanes. Many other owners have reported the same issue, and mercedes has issued a TSB acknowledging the defect, but no recall has been provided. I request that NHTSA investigate this recurring safety problem and require mercedes-benz to provide coverage or a recall for affected vehicles.
