UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR HANDLE ON THE INSIDE DOES NOT WORK. I NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS PRIOR TO THIS. I DROVE TO MY APPOINTMENT, GOT OUT OF MY CAR NORMALLY. UPON RETURNING TO MY CAR I NOTICED MY DOOR HANDLE LOOKED LOOSE, THEN COULD NO LONGER OPEN MY DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. I HAVE TO ROLL DOWN MY WINDOW IN ORDER TO OPEN MY DOOR ON THE OUTSIDE, WHICH IS EXTREMELY IRRITATING. THE COST TO REPAIR IS OVER $1,000 WHICH I DO NOT BELIEVE IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FAR. I AM SCARED TO HAVE MY KIDS IN MY, IN CASE AN ACCIDENT DOES OCCUR AND I CANNOT EXIT THE VEHICLE. AFTER SEARCHING THIS PROBLEM I HAVE LEARNED THAT IT IS EXTREMELY COMMON IN THESE MODELS. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY ON MERCEDES TO RECALL FOR YOUR VALUED CUSTOMERS SAFETY.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED THE RACALL NOTICE FEB.2017 WITH NOTIFICATION OF FURTHER NOTICE ONCE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. FIRST OF LET ME ADDRESS THAT THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND IT IS ALMOST 2 YEARS AGO SINCE FIRST NOTICE. SECOND OF ALL I AM TRYING TO SELL MY CAR BUT DO NOT RECEIVE THE VALUE I SHOULD RECEIVE DUE TO THE OPEN SAFETY RECALL. MY HANDS ARE TIGHT AT THIS POINT AND IT CAN'T BE RIGHT TO LOSE IN VALUE OF THE CAR DUE TO AN OUTSTANDING SAFETY CALL WHICH CAN'T BE ADDRESSED AT THIS POINT. WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS IN ORDER TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY THE SAFETY OF MY MY LIFE AND THE PASSENGERS LIFE. WHO COMES UP WITH THE DIFFERENCE IN VALUE DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO REPAIR IN A TIMELY MATTER. I BELIEVE ALMOST 2 YEARS IS PLENTY OF TIME TO SOLVE THE ISSUE. REGARDS

MERCEDES BENZ WONT HONOR THE RECALLS. VEHICLE WAS IMPORTED (NOT BY ME) FROM CANADA. MERCEDES BENZ CONSIDERS THIS VEHICLE TO BE "GRAY MARKET VEHICLE" AND WONT SERVICE THE VEHICLE FOR RECALLS. THERE ARE UP TO EIGHT (8) SAFETY RECALLS AND THEY MAKE THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. VEHICLE STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. I HAVE CONTACTED THE BUREAU OF AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR, WHO REFERRED ME TO THE NEW MOTOR VEHICLE BOARD WHO REFERRED ME TO THE NHTSA. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER,

I RECIEVED A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE FOR ELECTRICAL GROUNDING AND INADVERTANT AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. HOWEVER DESPITE MULTIPLE CALLS TO THE LOCAL MERCEDES BENZ SERVICE CENTER FOR THE LAST PAST ONE MONTH, I WAS TOLD THE "PART" WAS NOT AVAILABLE AND THAT THEY WERE WAITING FOR IT FROM THE COMPANY. I FEEL ONE MONTH IS QUITE A LONG TIME TO GET A"PART" WHICH IS O A RECAL SAFETY ISSUE. I WONDER IF YOU COULD PLEASE DO THE NEEDFUL

STEERING, WHEELS
ON TWO OCCASIONS, WITH THE LATEST BEING ON 12/11/2018, THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL LOCKED COMPLETELY AFTER I PARKED IT. EVEN THOUGH IT'S BEEN SUBJECT TO A RECALL (2010100002), MERCEDES BENZ CHARGED ME $1255 JUST TO UNLOCK IT WITHOUT REPAIRING THE UNDERLYING CAUSE. I WANT MY MONEY BACK BECAUSE THE PROBLEM THEY REPAIRED IS PART OF THE RECALL.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I BOUGHT THE CERTIFIED CAR AT 50K AND AT 70K MILES, RIGHT AFTER THE WARRANTY ENDED - CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WILL COST $8K DUE TO CAMSHAFTS TO REPAIR!! THEY EVEN SUGGESTED THAT I SHOULD CONSIDER TRADING THE CAR IN! KEEP IN MIND I STILL OWE $28K SO THAT OPTION IS OUT! SINCE THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STILL ON EVEN AFTER I GOT IT REPAIRED AT A LOCAL/AFFORDABLE MECHANIC AND IT'S ABOUT 110K MILEAGE AND THE ENGINE IS RATTLING AS IT RUNS. THIS IS MY 3RD BENZ AND THE FIRST 2 FAILED DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THESE GERMAN CARS CAUSE SO MANY PROBLEMS AND SO COSTLY TO REPAIR. WHAT HAPPEN TO YOU PAY FOR WHAT YOU GET!!! TODAY, WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR JUST SLOWLY STOP AND THE ENGINE CUT OFF! AAA CAME TO CHECK AND IT'S NOT THE BATTERY SO WILL NEED TO GET TOWED. STILL OWE $10K LEFT- I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO! NO OTHER CAR TO DRIVE .
