AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY, SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AT APPROXIMATELY 1:30 PM ON A CLEAR, SUNNY DAY, ABOUT A MINUTE AWAY FROM MY HOME. THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE GOOD, AND THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC. I STOPPED AT THE CORNER TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. AS I PROCEEDED TO TURN, THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. I IMMEDIATELY APPLIED THE BRAKES, BUT THEY DID NOT ENGAGE. I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE CAR. IT JUMPED THE CURB ( CAUGHT ON PROPERTY OWNER'S CAMERA, GOING AIR BORN) , AS I CONTINUED TO BRAKE AS HARD AS I COULD WITH THE CAR INCREASINGLY ACCELERATING.I CRASHED THROUGH A FENCE AND HIT A POLE WHICH STOPPED THE CAR DEPLOYING BOTH DRIVER SIDE AIRBAGS. THERE WAS SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR, AND IT WAS TOTALED. I WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL VIA AMBULANCE.MY INJURY WAS DIAGNOSED AS ACUTE L1 COMPRESSION FRACTURE ALONG THE SUPERIOR ENDPLATE WITH MILD ANTERIOR WEDGING. I WAS REFERRED TO AN ORTHOPEDIC SPECIALIST AND HAVE NOT RETURNED TO WORK DUE TO PAIN AND ELEVATED BLOOD PRESSURE. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, TWO DAYS LATER I WAS ISSUED A WARNING FOR FAILURE TO CONTROL SPEED!@&!

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY VEHICLE IS A 2018 MERCEDES-BENZ E63S. ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN TOWN, IT REPORTS "BRAKE-ASSIST INOPERABLE; BLIND SPOT ASSIST INOPERABLE; DISTANCE ASSIST INOPERABLE"; PLUS, THE CRUISE CONTROL HAS STOPPED WORKING. THE TROUBLE OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY. THEY ARE NOT FALSE MESSAGES. THE ITEMS REPORTED DO STOP WORKING. THAT'S EXCEEDINGLY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE ESTABLISHES A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY. BEYOND THAT, THE ENGINE IN THE CAR HAS LOST POWER NUMEROUS TIMES. THAT COULD BE CALAMITOUS IF YOU WERE PASSING AND A CAR SUDDENLY CAME AT YOU HEAD-ON. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO MERCEDES BENZ BUT THEY HAVE FAILED TO DO ANYTHING. THEY ACT AS IF THEY SIMPLY DO NOT CARE. GO FIGURE. BUT THAT'S THE TRUTH. THAT'S OUR EXPERIENCE, AT LEAST.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST MODULE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. COLLISION ASSIST WAS INOPERATIVE. THIS CAN LEAD TO LOSS OF ACCELERATION AND BRAKING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP, MERCEDES BENZ OF ARCADIA, WHO PERFORMED A SOFTWARE UPDATE AND CHARGED $205.OO. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL AND FREE OF CHARGE. WHEN THE ERROR MESSAGE CAME ON MY WIFE WAS ON THE FREEWAY. SHE PANICKED AND PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER. RESTARTING THE ENGINE DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. SHE DROVE HOME SLOWLY WHEREUPON WE WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP.
