TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE BEEN SENT A NUMBER OF NOTICES THAT MY VEHICLE IS PART OF THE TAKATA RECALL BUT THAT THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE. FRANKLY I'VE BEEN VERY PATIENT BUT I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY KNOWING THIS DRAGGING ON FOR 2 YEARS NOW. I DRIVE ALMOST 100 MILES PER DAY ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS. I AM AWARE THAT OTHER MANUFACTURERS, OF LESS STATURE MIND YOU, ARE OFFERING AT NO COST A SUBSTITUTE OR LOANER/RENTAL VEHICLE UNTIL THE PARTS ARE MADE AVAILABLE. I'M NO LONGER WILLING TO WAIT FOR THIS ENDLESS TIME FRAME FOR MY VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED WITH THE PROPER, SAFE, AND UPDATED SAFETY ITEM LIKE AN AIR BAG. WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT SOME SENSOR OR A POWER WINDOW SWITCH HERE. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ANY LONGER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
CAR ENGINE LIGHT ON. TOOK TO SERVICE CENTER. REQUIRED SOFTWARE UPGRADE. COST $275. CAR HAS 26K MILES. THIS SHOULD NOT BE AN EXPENSE TO BUYER BUT SHOULD BE A WARRANTY ISSUE. VERY UNHAPPY WITH MERCEDES-BENZ AND UNLIKELY TO PURCHASE YOU VEHICLE IN THE FUTURE. ALSO, NO OBVIOUS INSTRUCTION FOR CHECKING OIL LEVEL. ANOTHER RUSE BY MERCEDES-BENZ TO WRING ADDITIONAL $$ OUT IF CONSUMERS.

SUNROOF EXPLODING - WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT AROUND 70MPH WHEN I HEARD A LOUD BANG. I COULD TELL IT CAME FROM ABOVE AND COULD TELL THE SUNROOF HAD SHATTERED. I CAME TO A SAFE STOP TO INSPECT AND MY SUSPICIONS WERE PROVEN RIGHT. IT HAPPENED SUDDENLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THERE WERE NO TRUCKS NEAR ME. NEITHER WAS I DRIVING UNDER AN OVERPASS. THERE WAS NO IMPACT FROM ANYTHING. I HAVE ATTACHED A PHOTO OF THE DAMAGE. I CALLED THE DEALER (MERCEDES BENZ OF HOUSTON NORTH) AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE SORRY TO HEAR THAT AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $200 JUST TO GET MY CAR INSPECTED (NOT EVEN REPAIRED). VERY FRUSTRATED AT THE MOMENT.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER BEING INTO AUTHORIZED MERCEDES BENZ DEALERSHIP ONLY FOR AN STRONG DIESEL FUEL SMELL AND OIL LEAK 3 TIMES IN LESS THAN 4 MONTHS ON OUR ML350 BLUETEC ENGINE FUEL SMELL IS STRONG ENOUGH THAT WE HAVE A SEVER HEADACHE ,NAUSEOUS FEELING AND HAVE TO STOP THE CAR AND GET OUT FOR FRESH AIR, OPENING WINDOWS ONLY GETS MORE OF THE SMELL IN OF FUEL AND BURNING PLASTIC. THIS HAPPENS WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ,BOTH ON CITY STREETS AND ON HIGHWAYS, MORE PRONOUNCED WHEN DRIVING.
