SEAT BELTS

10 complaints

The contact owns a 2010 Mercedes-Benz ML450. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, after a while, the driver's side seat belt started to retract and eventually became uncomfortably tight. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 150,000.

Oct 27, 2023

PASSENGER SIDE REAR SEAT BELT RETRACTOR FAILED AND SEAT BELT IS IN FULLY EXTENDED POSITION AND WON'T RETRACT, MAKING IT UNUSABLE FOR PROTECTION OF A PASSENGER IN THAT SEAT. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OR SUFFERED ANY IMPACT, ETC., AND WHEN A PASSENGER HAD USED THE BELT AND WENT TO TAKE IT OFF IT WOULDN'T RETRACT. THERE HAD BEEN NO PRIOR INDICATION OF A PROBLEM. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY 24,280 MILES ON IT AND THE SEATBELT IN QUESTION HAS ONLY BEEN USED 10 OR 15 TIMES IN THE 8 YEAR LIFE OF THE VEHICLE AS MY WIFE AND I ARE THE ONLY USERS, OUR CHILDREN ALL GROWN AND LONG GONE. THE MERCEDES DEALER WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM SAYS THE RETRACTOR CANNOT BE REPAIRED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST IN EXCESS OF $800. I CAN'T AFFORD THAT, SO IT WON'T BE REPAIRED.

Mar 10, 2018

JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A FAMILY MEMBER WHO TAKES GREAT CARE OF THEIR CARS. THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE PASSENGER SEATBELT DOES NOT WORK. I GENTLY PULLED OUT AND IT DOESN'T RETRACT NO MATTER WHAT I TRIED. NOW I CAN'T USE WITH MY 3 KIDS. THESE REAR SEAT BELTS WERE ONLY LIGHTLY USED FROM PREVIOUS OWNER AS THIS WAS HER COMMUTER CAR .SEEMS TO ME THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON COMPLAINT ONLINE YET NO RECALL. PLEASE INVESTIGATE RIGHT AWAY.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

5 complaints

BRAKE LIGHTS & REAR TAIL GATE MALFUNCTION AFTER RUNNING CAR THROUGH CAR WASH. THE PROBLEMS SELF-CORRECT AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS. SUSPECT THAT WATER IS SOMEHOW GETTING IN VIA FAULTY SEALS. THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT SIMILAR ISSUES AND MBENZ HAS EVEN ISSUED RECALLS FOR OTHER MODELS. IN ONE RECALL, THE PROBLEM IS NOTED TO POTENTIALLY CAUSE A FIRE. ALTHOUGH DEALER IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, THE BOERNE, TX SERVICE REP HAS NO INTEREST IN INVESTIGATING THE MATTER FURTHER UNLESS, KNOWING OTHERS HAVE SIMILAR ISSUES, UNLESS I PAY FOR THE SERVICE. HOPE WE DON'T EARN A TICKET OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

Feb 25, 2019

THE LED TAIL LIGHTS ARE FAILING. MY ASSESSMENT ON THIS ISSUE IS THAT WATER AND DEBRIS ARE ENTERING THE TAIL LIGHT DUE TO A GASKET OR SEAL THAT IS FAILING. DEALER AND MERCEDES DOES NOT WANT TO HELP, AND HAVE TOLD ME THEY WILL NO LONGER RESPOND TO MY EMAILS. IM GETTING THE RUN AROUND. ITS CLEARLY A SAFETY DEFECT/HAZARD, BASED ON TRANSPORT CANADA. THIS HAPPENS WITH NO WARNING, UNTIL ENOUGH LED'S ARE OUT THE MESSAGE TURNED ON.

Jan 06, 2017

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MERCEDES-BENZ ML350. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TAIL LIGHTS FAILED TO OPERATE INTERMITTENTLY. THE BULBS WERE REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000. UPDATED 10/13/16*LJ *JS

Jul 07, 2016

PURCHASED CAR USED IN FEBRUARY 2015, HAD TO REPLACE RIGHT BRAKE LIGHT BULB THREE TIMES WITHIN THREE MONTHS. DEALERSHIP HAD TO REPLACE THE WIRE HARNESS ON BOTH TAILLIGHTS AS THE CONTACTS ON THE BRAKE LIGHT SOCKETS (BOTH SIDES) WERE DEFECTIVE. THE C230 MODEL HAD BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM, HOWEVER, THE ML350 WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I WOULD ADVISE THE NHTSA TO SEE IF OTHER MODELS OF THE MERCEDES HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM TO AVOID REAR END ACCIDENTS WHEN BRAKES FAIL. THE CAR IS ONLY FIVE YEARS OLD, AND HAS NOT BEEN IN AN AREA THAT SHOULD CAUSE EROSION OF FAILURE OF BOTH WIRING HARNESSES.

Nov 19, 2015

THE RIGHT BRAKE LIGHT SENSOR GAVE A WARNING THAT THE BRAKE LAMP NEEDS REPLACING. WHILE MAKING ARRANGEMENTS TO REPLACE, THE LEFT BRAKE LIGHT BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION AND ALSO NEEDED REPLACEMENT. SINCE BOTH LED BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED WITHIN 3 MONTHS IT SEEMS TO BE A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM WITH MERCEDES BENZ LED LIGHTS. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO MERCEDES BENZ USA AND WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY BUT THEY WOULD CALL THE LOCAL DEALER ON MY BEHALF AND SPEAK WITH THE MANAGER TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANYTHING THAT COULD BE DONE. WE REPLACED BOTH REAR LIGHT ASSEMBLIES AT A COST OF $832.44 AT THE DEALERSHIP IN DANBURY. MB OF DANBURY REDUCED THE LABOR CHARGE BY A SMALL PERCENTAGE. I HAVE ZERO CONFIDENCE THAT THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN DURING THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE.

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE THE CAR DOES NOT START AND THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS DO NOT ILLUMINATE. IT USUALLY TAKES MULTIPLE TRIES BEFORE IT USUALLY DOES START. HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS.

ON AUGUST 1ST 2017 BOUGHT BRAND NEW BATTERY FROM MERCEDES-BENZ OF EASTON. INSTALLED IN NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS WITHOUT ANY ISSUE. ON SEPT 12TH 2017 AROUND 2.45PM STARTED THE CAR(IN THE DRIVEWAY) AND WENT INSIDE TO GET MY MOBILE. WHEN I CAME OUT TO TE CAR, SAW BIG SMOKE INSIDE AND IMMEDIATELY SWITCHED OFF THE ENGINE. SAW FLAMES COMING UNDERNEATH OF PASSENGER SEAT AND IMMEDIATELY POURED WATER. LATER OBSERVED BATTERY IGNITED THE FLAMES AND EVEN TOP OF THE BATTERY STARTED MELTING. CALLED MBUSA AND REPORTED THE INCIDENT, AND WAS PROMISED THAT A SUPERVISOR WILL CALL BACK. WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM MBUSA. IT WAS SO SCARY, AND I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE WHAT IF THIS HAPPENED ON FREEWAY.

VEHICLE WON'T GO INTO PARK, DRIVE, NEUTRAL, OR REVERSE WHEN I PUSH THE BUTTON TO TELL IT TO. VEHICLE'S TURN SIGNALS DON'T TURN ON WHEN I MOVE THE HANDLE UP OR DOWN TO TRY AND TURN THEM. IT HANDLE CLICKS AS IF IT IS TURNED ON BUT BLINKERS DO NOT TURN ON. ALMOST GOT HIT BY ANOTHER CAR WHEN THIS ACCRUED BECAUSE THE BLINKERS DIDN'T COME ON AND THE CAR DIDN'T SEE THAT I WAS STOPPING. VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS SINCE I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN.

2010 MERCEDES ML350 LED STYLE BRAKE LIGHTS FAIL GRADUALLY, ONE LED OR ONE ROW AT A TIME, GRADUALLY DIMINISHING THE BRAKE LIGHT INTENSITY. BOTH THE RIGHT AND LEFT BRAKE LIGHTS ARE FAILING IN THE SAME MANNER. THE HAZARD OF LOSING VEHICLE BRAKE LIGHTS IS OBVIOUS.

Feb 01, 2016

THE IGNITION SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE CAR WAS NOT ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE ELECTRONIC KEY ANYMORE TO THE TUNE OF $1,300.00+ ON A FOUR YEAR OLD CAR, AT THIS PRICE POINT IS RIDICULOUS! ADDITIONALLY, A NEW KEY WAS NEEDED. *TR

2010 ML350 STARTS RIGHT UP WHEN COLD IN THE MORNING. IF I GO TO A STORE AND RETURN TO THE CAR WHEN I INSERT AND TURN THE KEY NOTHING HAPPENS NO LIGHTS ON DASH. AFTER STRUGGLING FOR 5 MINUTES TRYING EVERYTHING FROM LOCKING/UNLOCKING OPENING DOORS TURNING KEY SLOWLY IT FINALLY STARTS. THIS PROBLEM STARTED A MONTH AGO AND IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT NOW. AFTER READING NUMEROUS COMPLAINS ON FORUMS I ASSUME IT IS THE ESI (ELECTRONIC SYSTEM IGNITION) AND IT IS AN EXPENSIVE FIX SO I CALLED MERC BENZ AND COMPLAINED AND ASKED IF THERE IS A RECALL. THERE IS NO RECALL AND CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME SHE IS NOT A MECHANIC AND WANTS ME TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. AS I AM AWARE THIS REPAIR COST CUSTOMERS FROM 1200-1800 DOLLARS.

Nov 14, 2017

AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. INSTEAD OF BLOWING A FUSE , FUSE HOUSING MELTED FROM FIRE AND HEAT REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE HOUSING WITH ALL FUSES AND RELAYS. I BROUGHT IT UP TO MERCEDES BENZ ATTENTION AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS AS THE PART GOT REPLACED AT THIS POINT IT IS ONLY AN "ALLEGED" PROBLEM. THEY DO NOT WANT TO ACCEPT THEIR OWN SERVICE MECHANIC 'S DESCRIPTION OF WHAT HAPPENED. I AM AFRAID THIS CAR HAS ALL THE POTENTIAL OF BIGGER FIRE HAZARD AND POTENTIAL FOR ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS. I AM BRINGING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION ONLY BECAUSE YOU MAY HAVE PRIOR REPORTS ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL AND I AM DOING MY CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY IT WAS UNFORTUNATE 14 PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE WITH GM IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM. *TR

STEERING,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,SERVICE BRAKES

1 complaint

Before the incident my Mercedes started to pull away from me each time I attempted to press the brakes. At times the when I would press the brakes nothing would happen at all as if I wasn’t pressing them at all. Well on the night of February 18,2022 I was coming around a curb and when I went to press the brakes, my Mercedes began to sway slightly but the brakes never kicked in. The result of the incident totaled my vehicle, took out two transformers and a light pole, and costed me a careless operation ticket, the storage and towing of the vehicle from the incident, to the tow yard, then back home, as well as paying the ticket and having to pay the dmv. There is still an unknown amount due to demco (the energy company) for the light pole, two transformers, after hours workers and the actual worked and labor they performed. The recall flyers hadn’t been mailed out until a few months after the wreck so I had no knowledge of the issues happening nor the fact that driving the vehicle could be detrimental.

On February 18, 2022 at approximately 2240 hours I was in a wreck which totalled my 2010 Mercedes ML-350. I was approaching a curb and tried to brake but they didn't work and my vehicle pulled to the right and I totaled it out on an electricity pole. I was not aware of the recall 16V081 until September 04, 2022. My mercedes is currently under a tarp under my shed, and has been for months. Please explain the steps and procedures I need to follow to get my vehicle replaced because the damages to my vehicle as well as the transformers that blew, shutting off power in a 2 miles radius could have been fatal and I have since been without a vehicle.

VEHICLE HAS A VERY UNSTABLE RIDE THAT CONTINUES TO WORSEN. THE PROBLEM AROSE ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO AND CONTINUES TO WORSEN -- MORE SO OVER THE LAST YEAR. I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR ALMOST 10 YEARS AND TAKE METICULOUS CARE OF IT. I'VE KEPT UP WITH ALL MAINTENANCE AND ALWAYS PURCHASE THE BEST QUALITY REPLACEMENT TIRES. NOW THE VEHICLE IS SO UNSTABLE WITH ANY MINIMAL ROAD BUMPS OR EVEN SLIGHTLY UNEVEN SURFACES AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 35 MPH. SUV LOSES IT'S "GRIP" WITH THE ROAD, ESPECIALLY CONCERNING IF MAKING A TURN AT THE SAME TIME. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHEN MAKING A SLIGHT CURVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THAT WE HIT A TINY UNEVEN ROAD PATCH, WHERE THE VEHICLE SLIDES TO THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION WHERE WE'RE TRYING TO TURN. HAVE TAKE VEHICLE A COUPLE OF TIMES TO THE DEALER. EACH TIME THEY COME UP EMPTY -- THE LAST TIME THEY REPLACED THE BUSHINGS AT A HEFT COST, YET THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND WILL ONLY BE A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OCCURS. DEALER IS NOT OFFERING MUCH HELP. TODAY'S SERVICE REP INDICATED HE FELT THE STEERING DID NOT "FEEL RIGHT."

TWO ISSUES WITH MY ML350 2010 CAR - 1) ELECTRICAL - GAS GAUGE WENT TO ZERO WHILE DRIVING EVEN WHEN CAR WAS THREE QUARTERS FULL OF GAS. AFTER I STOPPED CAR AND RESTARTED ENGINE, GAS GAUGE WENT IMMEDIATELY BACK UP TO THREE QUARTERS FULL. 2) FAILED BRAKES - I WAS DRIVING INTO A PARKING SPOT SLOWLY USING BRAKES AND WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO COME TO A FULL STOP, THE BRAKES FAILED AND WOULDN'T STOP THE CAR COMPLETELY RESULTING IN ME DRIVING OVER A PARKING METER. IT FELT LIKE THE CAR ACCELERATED AS WELL AFTER HITTING PARKING METER BUT I WAS ABLE TO STOP CAR AFTER PRESSING ON THE BRAKES AGAIN. THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS HURT GIVEN SLOW SPEED AND NO ONE BEING ON SIDEWALK AT THE TIME.
