1 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 02/06/2026

In July 2025, the sunroof panel had lifes and was flapping at highway speeds. I immediately contacted a mercedes-benz dealer to report the hazard. I was told they were unaware of such an issue and that I would have to pay for the repair out-of-pocket. Due to financial hardship, I could not afford the repair at that time. In. In early February, while driving on the highway, the entire sunroof panel catastrophically detached and flew off the vehicle. This created an immediate and severe road hazard for other drivers. This incident matches the 'adhesive bonding failure' described in other mercedes-benz sunroof recalls (e. G. , recall 21v-197), but my specific VIN was not included in that list.

2 Equipment problem

The center console box will jot close. I have researched and this is a common problem with this car. You can not just replace the closure part it requires a whole new box. This is at a cost of 400. 00plus dollars. This is obviously a defect.

There is a recall for this significant safety risk. I contacted my local Mercedes Benz about recall remedy on 6 January 2023 and they confirmed the recall and said mb would issue steps to get this taken care of in the beginning of February. It is now 18 February 2023 and this has not happened and I have received no communication from mb and yet the safety risk still exists and could be life threatening.

Defective design of the ac unit prevents proper and normal draining of condensation results in mold and foul sour smell. Passengers are forced to breath moldy air.

7 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 12/17/2018

I read that there have been 3-4 recalls on my mercedes which we bought brand new and I have never received notifications.

8 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 09/27/2016

Sunroof was found shattered after the vehicle was parked on a residential street. No evidence of vandalism. Found out after opening the door & closing it - heard the shattered glass fall onto the interior sunroof visor. No visible damage that might indicate the cause of the shattered glass. The four corners of the sunroof were sunken in slightly, and the middle portion flexed upward. There has been no recent extreme heat recently.

9 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 02/26/2016

Car was in motion on street and suddenly rear passenger door swung open and items on back seat fell out onto the roadway causing vehicles to swerve to the other side of roadway. I later confirmed that mercedes does not give any warning for a passenger rear door that is not latched until after the car is going at least 7-8 mph? if a person (child) had been back there, he/she would have fallen out into traffic. I tried this experiment at home by just barely closing the door (not even latching it at all) and no warning is given till 7-8 mph is reached. This would seem to be a safety oversight by mercedes!!!! this needs corrective action, and at the very least, the public should be notified of this potential hazard to their children. There is also has the potential of causing an accident to other unsuspecting cars on the roadways. Please do something about this!!.

10 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 12/11/2015

I recently purchased a new Ml350 from Mercedes Benz of burlington, MA and I have a ¿safety¿ related issue with the lift gate. I went to move the vehicle, not knowing that the lift gate was open. There was no warning or any indication that the lift gate was open!! I have owned 2 Acura mdx's and both gave loud warnings when the car is put into drive and the lift gate is open. I believe this is an obvious safety oversight by mercedes in their design as the tailgate warning does not come on until a certain speed is reached. The warning should be evident the moment the car is put into drive. I believe this is a serious safety design flaw that could lead to injuries if someone, or even a dog, was in the back and the car drove forward with the lift gate open. I just spoke with a mercedes customer service representative, and she indicated that this is a ¿speed sensitive¿ function and ¿yes¿ you could be driving with the lift gate open up till that speed is reached and you would not receive any warning at all. If I had put my dog or anything in that cargo area and started to drive away, the warning would come on too late to prevent whatever was back there from ¿falling out¿. That¿s a safety flaw with a potential of injuries. My other cars, Infiniti and Acura both give warnings when any door or lift gate is open. Please notify mercedes to fix this obvious safety flaw that all other manufacturers have seem to have fixed. Thank you.
