The brake fluid lines are corroding much faster than in other models, and without actual corrosion under the car. It happened to my car, and I have been reading forums of MB owners of this same R model, as well as C, E, GLK, and ML models all reporting the same issues. The lines corroding earlier to due to the brake boost system failure and other fluids/air entering the system is the most consistent cause of brake line failure I was able to get off the internet, as well as MB not using lines with proper material. The only thing I know is that the lines are not supposed to fail this early and this bad.

Hi I received a letter from Mercedes for a stop drive recall (NHTSA #22V315, MBUSA ID: 2022050014 & 2022050015), so I bought my Mercedes R350 to the shop for repair on July 15, 2022. Mercedes Benz of Pleasanton (925463-2525) claimed that brake booster parts were not available at that time and I couldn't drive the car, so they left the car at the shop waiting for the parts to become available. Later on when I called, the service rep claimed the parts had been ordered so kept my car in their lot (since July 15, 2022) Since then, I have been on the rental car (that I am still paying for) and I reached out to them multiple times and couldn't get a status update from them, nor schedule for my car return. I Hope NHTSA can help me to receive an update of my recalled vehicle, and their solution. I don't know how long do I need to use rental car. I would like to file an official complaint to Mercedes Benz USA. They don't seem to know how to handle their own recall. Thank you in advance.

I DROVE TO WORK WITH NO PROBLEMS. HOWEVER; RETURNING I STARTED CAR AND COULD HEAR A SLIGHT SOUND. I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THAT THE CAR RISING SIGN WAS ILLUMINATED AND I WAITED FOR CAR TO RISE. THE CAR FAILED TO RISE AND WAS SITTING SO LOW TO TIRES THAT I COULD NOT DRIVE AND HAD TO BE TOWED HOME. AT HOME I TRIED AGAIN TO SEE IF CAR WOULD RISE AND AGAIN IT FAILED. IN ADDITION TO THE ABS BREAK SIGN BEING ILLUMINATED AS WELL. THE MESSAGE ON DASH STATED TO CONTACT DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. MY MILEAGE IS AT132,051.
