Equipment Problems of Mercedes Benz SLK230

The headliner/ceiling of the car is falling apart. Particularly the cloth under the sunroof all came off with the adhesiveness is lost and directly falls onto ones's face while driving and it could be fatal. Mercedes dealer acknowledged the issue but did not authorize a covered repair. This is real safety concern and there can be choking or other undesired disturbance with the hanging headliner part while driving. The adhesive materials exposed and the tiny particles could be inhaled into lungs, which could be other undesired damage stemming from the falling headliner cloth. This happened when I was driving and operated the sunroof opening. The headliner cloth landed on my face and I was able to control the car and take it to safety and temporarily held the cloth in place.

This vehicle stops dead in the road while driving and will not restart until it sits several minutes or more. It does not do this every time it is driven but this is very dangerous. After doing research, we find this is a common problem with this model, as well as a few other models of mercedes. We have contacted the NHTSA but they will not respond as promised. We have called numerous mercedes dealers and they offer no solution except to bring it in and they will check it out for a big price. The problem with this is the car has to malfunction while they are checking it and it does not malfunction every time it is driven. They should be forced to recall these cars as this is a common dangerous problem. We cannot feel safe as long as this car shuts down with no warning.
