| Seat Belt problems |
The driver side seat belt latch has failed for the second time in 2 years. The male end can not be inserted into the female end.
The metal seat belt connector frayed in to two pieces. Replaced with oem part. It frayed again. It's a 2011 driven by a 75 yr. Old senior citizen. Mercedes accused owner of maliciously cutting cable. Extreme safety hazzard.
Safe belt buckle jammed or can't click.
My wife was departing with the car and when she tried to insert the seat belt buckle and it would not insert. I called the mercedes dealer and they said it was a common failure but they wanted to charge me for the repair.
