• Front roof panel detachment investigation # PE21001

  On january 8, 2021, after ongoing review with mercedes benz, the national highway traffic safety administration (nhtsa) office of defects investigation (odi) opened pe21-001 to assess allegations of front roof panel detachments while driving at highway speeds in certain 2015 mercedes-benz (mercedes) c-class vehicles.The subject front roof panel is a stationary panel composed of polycarbonate and is attached to the vehicle via adhesive at the time of manufacture. The panel is found on subject vehicles equipped with panoramic sunroofs. Over time, the subject panels may exhibit cosmetic degradation leading to replacement of the panel, a procedure which entails: removal of the old panel and adhesive, site preparation, and installation of a replacement panel with new adhesive.The consumer complaints that prompted the opening of pe21-001 all described detachments of front roof panels that had been replaced after the vehicle was put into service.Mercedes internal investigation identified a broader scope of affected vehicles (2014-2020 cla, gla, c, s, glc, and gle class) and found the following potential service procedure- related causes of front roof panel detachments:- improper surface pretreatments such as the use of the wrong primer or cleaner or scoring of the surface; or - use of the incorrect adhesive.These conditions lead to a front roof panel bond that, even if sound at the time of repair, cannot maintain its strength over time and environmental exposure.Mercedes updated its service and parts ordering systems to reinforce the proper use of specified kits and procedures via webinars, shop foreman meetings, and explicit reference to the risks incurred by diverging from the repair procedures. Mercedes is also furnishing parts ordering assistance, and will hold dealerships accountable for improper repairs.Odis analysis of the ten complaints it has received from the public (voqs) and mbusas complaint data submitted in response to the information request letter for pe21-001 identified a total of 57 non-duplicative reports alleging incidents in which the front roof panel detached from the vehicle while in motion. Included within the 57 reports are incidents where consumers state the panel detached "...And flew off into traffic."on march 19, 2021, mercedes notified nhtsa that it would recall subject vehicles with front roof panels known to have been replaced after the original sale of the vehicle. In total, the recall (designated as recall 21v197) covers 15,099 vehicles that were ever registered in the united states. Based on recall 21v197 and the remedy implemented by mercedes, further investigation does not appear to be warranted at this time.Accordingly, this investigation is closed.The odi complaints cited above can be viewed at www.Nhtsa.Gov under the following odi identification numbers: 11376425, 11352686, 11351629, 11349158, 11341541, 11337594, 11324100, 11311591, 11222127, 11404183

I write you to report a serious mercedes benz safety hazard. The gle 43 with pirelli pzero tires responds adversely (without reasonable control) in snowy conditions. In even mildly snowy conditions, the tires plane on the snow and act more as skis than tires. In 2018, after leasing my gle 43 i experienced loss of control, sliding sideways, while making a left turn at 5-10 mph in a parking lot. Following that experience i purchased snow tires and the car handled much more favorably. In 2018 when i leased the car, i was told by the dealership that only the sport tires were available for the size tire i requested. Clearly i was able to purchase snow tires the same year and i suspect, but have not confirmed, all weather tires are also available. Mercedes mistakenly did not offer (or make the standard) all weather tires. This was a serious safety mistake with the gle 43. On 07 sep of this year (2020), driving east on i-70 in colorado during a mild snow storm, i was required to come to a traffic stop. Conditions offered ample road to stop. The gle speed was ~40-50 mph when i applied breaks to stop the car. Instead of responding with control, the gle fishtailed and spun out of control. I finally slid to a stop in the middle of three lanes of stopped traffic after at least one 360 degree spin. My family and i were fortunate to have escaped injury or death. Others around us could have also been injured or killed. The gle's performance with pirelli pzero tires was absolutely unacceptable. I believe mercedes benz should acknowledge this safety concern and take reasonable steps to prevent it from happening to others. Specifically, i request the following: 'make the pirelli pzero safety concern in winter conditions known to all gle owners and offer alternate tires 'replace the tires on my gle with acceptable all weather tires 'repair the damage caused to
