My 2005 mercedes clk320 caught fire due to an electrical short while i was driving on the freeway. I pulled over, the entire car was engulfed in flames and totaled. It started with smoke coming out of the ac vents. When i turned the ac off the smoke got worse and fire proceeded.

At approximately 74,000 miles the front drivers side seat belt electric extender went in and out 6 six times uncontrollably, then in the retracted position failed all together, while the seat belt itself remained in the slack position and would not retract. This malfunction left the front drivers seat belt useless, a huge safety risk and violates colorado seat belt law. There are thousands of documented complaints in multiple model and years of the same issue with mercedes benz seat belts as published online. The local mercedes benz dealer states this is not a consumer serviceable item, and mercedes benz service bulletin passes off their manufacturer defect as the consumers fault for "soiling the seat belt and not keeping it clean" which is rubbish. Mercedes benz dealer quote to replace the entire seat belt system front driver side only, $900.00. Front passenger side starting to malfunction, rear passenger side not fully retracting when exiting the vehicle. The local dealer did not offer a loaner car as i had to wait two weeks for them to "schedule me in" for the repair, thus driving an unsafe vehicle during the two week waiting period.

Srs light on diagnosis faulty front seat sensor and control unit. Srs therefore no longer working. This is the third one of these i have had that has had this fault all on mercedes. Extreme safety issue that is repetitive and continuous. Issue needs to be looked into immediately! *tr

Srs light appeared and we took vehicle into dealership and were told the passenger side airbag was defective and had to be replaced. We had the repair done on 10/03/14. We thought the manufacturer should be responsible for this safety issue since the vehicle is less than 10 years old. The dealership said it was not and the repair charges were paid by us. Wondering if this vehicle should be included in the national recall for defective airbags. *tr

The srs light came on once before like 6 months back, and the mechanic cleared the code. This light came back on sept 5, 2012. The mercedes dealer told me that there are 2 fault codes: 1. 900b - passenger side seat belt buckle 2. 9243 - passenger side airbag ignition squib this car has only close to 37,000 miles. And this is a safety issue with airbags will not deploy in accidents. This car has never been in any accidents and is in pristine condition. I very strongly feel this is poor workmanship by mercedes and they should have a recall to fix this as this relates to safety. *tr
