NHTSA #11707506
I was driving my vehicle and it shifted into neutral and would not go back into gear until I pulled over to side of the road, turned it off and back on. A check engine light came on when I restarted the vehicle and I took the vehicle to the dealership for diagnosis. They told me they couldn't find an issue and reset the check engine light. A week later, I was driving on the freeway and it shifted into neutral again at 70 miles an hour. Luckily, I was in the right hand lane and was able to coast to the side. At that point I started looking online to see if others had this issue and came across this: Campaign No. : 2021020038 NHTSA ID: 21V033 Campaign Desc. : Replace Transmission Control Unit 21P5495403 Which is exactly what is happening to my vehicle
NHTSA #11703689
In December 2023, the check engine light came on. The dealership said it was the rear differential. The dealership fixed the problem under warranty. In July 2024, the problem returned. The dealership said it could repeat the procedure from December, but that eventually the rear differential will need to be replaced. The dealership said that only replacing the rear differential will fix the problem for good. Obviously, MB recognized the problem and upgraded the software and whatever else was wrong with the current rear differential. The car is now out of warranty. Clearly, MB knew of the problem and chose to direct it's dealerships to use stop-gap measures that do not fix the problem, until the rear differential must be replaced, at the owner's expense, with an upgraded rear differential. It is dangerous to drive the vehicle with a faulty rear differential.

On December 4th 2021, while driving my airbags deployed without warning or notice. On a normal day at this time I would be traveling on the highway. The impact of the airport was so intense it stunned me and I thought another vehicle made impact. The chemicals of the airbag got al over my clothes, skin, and the interior. The steering column was sent to Germany for review and it was determined it was a technical issue that was not my fault However, in a different circumstance this could have caused a severe problem fatal collision woth another vehicle or object if I was traveling at a greater rate of speed. At the time of deployment I was traveling under 20mph. I did notice a warning lamp just a couple of hours prior to its deployment and called Mercedes to schedule a service to look into it. Approx 3 hours later the airbag deployed. The components in the steering wheel flew out causing damage to the interior of the vehicle and if it made contact with me could have cut me as well. I had discomfort from the chemical as a result of it getting all over my clothes, hair and skin. I was bruised and mentally impacted. I drive with the fear an airbag can deploy at any time in any vehicle I'm traveling in and cause me or my daughter bodily harm, damage or death

NHTSA #11685719
The ABS Sensor light, engine light, anti skid light and 4 matic malfunction, transmission malfunction all lit up on my dashboard on Tuesday July 22, 2025. The stearing would lock up and the brakes would not break it also shifted gears into neutral. The dashboard finally told me in bold red letters (transmission malfunction STOP). It would do this then all the lights would go away. I thought it may have just been the battery since I hardly drive the car. The shop cleared out all the malfunctions and re drove it and they said it appeared fine but the next day (Wednesday) it acted up again and that is when I got the transmission malfunction STOP warning on the dashboard. I pulled over and called the shop to come tow my car. By Thursday they said they couldn't diagnose or fix the problem but stated it had to do with the Transmission and to have it towed to the Mercedes Benz dealership. I had it towed to the Morristown, NJ Mercedes Benz service dept and they stated that it appears that it is the Transmission Valve Body. I spoke with Mercedes this morning (July 28, 2025) and that is when I learned it was the Transmission Valve Body and that it is going to cost me $4,000.00 plus labor. This makes no sense as the car has less than 26,000 miles on it. I researched a bit on this and found that there may have been a recall for this car but I was never notified of the recall. When the service rep told me that he was waiting to hear from corporate on this before he could give me an exact cost (this was after the technician stated what the issue was). I got suspicious as why would they need to contact corporate to figure out the cost of the repair. I could have gotten into a really bad accident if I was on a major road going 65mph.

I bought this car at end of June, dealership never disclosed information that car had an active recall… I looked it up on NHTSA and sure enough I need a SIM card for emergency service, the site says it will be done over the air wave , I brought it to the Delray Beach Fla dealership who told me they couldn’t update it and had no idea when and how this recall will be handled. I have called the Nhtsa # every day for 2 weeks, no one ever answers the phone, I have left numerous messages, but no call backs, please advise me when and how this recall will be done ? I have the Nhtsa app and there is no information from anyone anywhere , very inconvenient for me to leave car at dealership for 5 hours and have them tell me not only that they can’t fix the recall but they have no idea when or how it will be done.. The website states that if it cannot be done via airwave that the dealership will update but no one seems to have an answer??? So I just spent 35,000 on a car that I can’t use for the purpose I purchased it for and no answer, please advise when and how this recall will be handled.

NHTSA #11448141
The vehicle with only 29,775 miles on it, and I bought it new, made a knocking noise in the brakes and the brake pedal jumped up and down at first stop sign when I left my house. I reapplied the brake to see if it would work. It did. I turned onto the highway and within two blocks the vehicle shifted itself into N, a message on dashboard said pull over, contact service immediately. I was able to coast then turn onto a side street. Upon stopping the vehicle, another warning came on the dashboard: Reversing Not Possible Service Required. This vehicle has had quirky electrical problems from the beginning. I have reported to the dealership at least 3-4 times. I believe this could have been a very dangerous situation for me and my family if I was on an Interstate. I have no confidence in this vehicle now.
