Safety Complaint: Windshield Wipers Would Not Turn Off – Mercedes-Benz In October 2025, at approximately 12,000 miles, the windshield wipers on my Mercedes-Benz malfunctioned and would not turn off using the vehicle’s controls. The issue occurred both while driving and while the vehicle was stationary, under normal weather conditions. The malfunction prevented me from maintaining normal control of the windshield wiper system. The wipers continued operating despite my attempts to turn them off. Their constant movement distracted me while driving and obstructed my view or affected visibility. I experienced a near-miss situation in connection with this malfunction, creating a serious safety concern for me and potentially other road users. A warning light or message was ot sometimes present in connection with the issue or appeared beforehand. The vehicle was subsequently inspected by an independent repair facility, and the malfunction was confirmed by a service center. The entire steering column was replaced due to electrical wiring issue. I am concerned that this malfunction may reflect a defect in the windshield wiper control system or related vehicle electronics (steering column). The inability to turn off the windshield wipers, combined with the resulting visibility and distraction concerns and the crash or near-miss situation, presents a potential vehicle safety defect. I am requesting that NHTSA document this incident, review similar complaints involving Mercedes-Benz vehicles, and determine whether further investigation or corrective action is warranted.

Subject: Recurring SRS Warning and Driver’s Knee-Airbag Fault — 2019 Mercedes-Benz A220 I am reporting a potential safety concern involving the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) in my 2019 Mercedes-Benz A220. The vehicle developed a recurring SRS/airbag warning. Mercedes-Benz identified diagnostic trouble code B000411, described as a driver’s knee-airbag squib short circuit to ground. During the initial visit, the dealership inspected and reinstalled the component. The warning subsequently returned. The dealership later recommended replacing the driver’s knee airbag, with an estimated repair cost of approximately $3,600. I am concerned that a recurring fault in the airbag system could affect the vehicle’s ability to provide intended occupant protection in a crash. I have contacted Mercedes-Benz Customer Care and filed a complaint with the California Bureau of Automotive Repair. I respectfully request that NHTSA review this reported safety issue and determine whether it may indicate a safety-related defect affecting other vehicles. Vehicle: 2019 Mercedes-Benz A220 Diagnostic code: B000411 Repair estimate: Approximately $3,600 I can provide dealership records, diagnostic information, and correspondence upon request.

I am filing a vehicle safety complaint regarding my 2019 Mercedes-Benz A220 equipped with the M260 engine. While driving on a public street, my vehicle experienced an unexpected loss of engine power and stalling. The engine also exhibited significant shaking, misfiring, and activation of the check-engine warning light. The unexpected loss of power while driving created a dangerous situation because I could have been involved in a collision with another vehicle. I was extremely concerned for my safety and the safety of other motorists. My mechanic subsequently diagnosed the vehicle with a cylinder head failure and advised me that continuing to drive could be dangerous. Because of the seriousness of the mechanical problem and the safety risks involved, I had the vehicle repaired. The repair cost approximately $3,800 and was performed by an independent mechanic using genuine Mercedes-Benz parts purchased from an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealership. I later learned that Mercedes-Benz had reportedly extended warranty coverage for certain M260 engine cylinder head failures to 15 years or 150,000 miles. I am concerned that other Mercedes-Benz vehicles equipped with the same engine could experience similar failures, potentially resulting in unexpected engine stalling or loss of power while driving. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate whether this cylinder head failure represents a broader vehicle safety defect that could endanger drivers, passengers, and other motorists.
