• Recall 2018741 [Canada]: Airbag
  On certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, could eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger frontal airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. As a result, if the vehicle were involved in a collision that warrants airbag deployment, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants, and the airbag assembly could be damaged, preventing proper function. These issues could increase the risk of injury. Correction: dealers will replace the passenger frontal airbag module. Note: canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. The recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk, and is expected to replace airbag inflators before their function would be affected.

• Recall 2018724 [Canada]: Steering
  On certain vehicles originally sold or currently registered in areas of heavy road salt usage during winter months (quebec, new brunswick, nova scotia, prince edward island, and newfoundland & labrador), the bolts that attach the electric power steering assist motor to the steering gear housing may corrode and break. This could cause a loss of power steering assist. The resulting increase in steering effort could create the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: dealers will replace the mounting bolts and apply a corrosion protection coating to the gear housing and bolts. If the bolts bolt cannot be removed, a replacement steering gear will be installed.

• Recall 2016158 [Canada]: Airbag
  On certain vehicles, the driver frontal airbag inflator could produce excessive internal pressure during airbag deployment. Increased pressure may cause the inflator to rupture, which could allow fragments to be propelled toward vehicle occupants, increasing the risk of injury. This could also damage the airbag module, which could prevent proper deployment. Failure of the airbag to fully deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant. Correction: dealers will replace the front driver air bag module.

• Recall 2011359 [Canada]: Fuel supply
  On certain vehicles equipped with a diesel engine, the fuel filter assembly may develop a leak from the fuel heater o-ring seal. Diesel fuel spilt on the roadway could endanger other road users by making the roadway unexpectedly slippery. This could ultimately result in a vehicle crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the diesel fuel filter assembly.

• Recall 2010331 [Canada]: Steering
  On certain vehicles, the power steering system may fail due to the loss of power steering fluid. A fitting on the high-pressure power steering line at the connection to the pump may not have been sufficiently torqued during the production process. Over time this may result in the fitting backing-off which could cause a loss of power steering fluid. A loss of power steering could result in a vehicle crash. Correction: dealers will inspect and, if necessary, tighten the connection fitting. The o-ring seal will be replaced as a precautionary measure in all cases where the connection fitting shows evidence of loosening.

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 mercedes benz e-350. The contact was driving 60 mph when the contact was involved in a rear-end crash. As a result, the contact crashed into the guardrail. None of the air bags deployed and the vehicle was destroyed. The contact sustained injuries to the neck and back. A police report was filed. The manufacturer was contacted regarding the failure of the air bags but had not yet received a return call. The contact believed that had the air bags deployed, there would have been a severe reduction in the injuries sustained in the crash. The failure mileage was 7,000.

Mercedes 2011 e550 has a speedometer that is very difficult to read and requires eye diversion from the road to an unsafe extent to view your driving speed. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2011 mercedes benz e-350. While driving approximately 1 mph in reverse the steering wheel became very stiff and difficult to turn. The contact continued to drive the vehicle and the power steering continued to malfunction. The vehicle was eventually towed to an authorized dealer where the contact was told that there was a defect within the power steering pump. The power steering pump was replaced. The failure mileage was 300 and the current mileage was 350. Updated 10/21/11 *bf updated 10/26/11

I recently purchased a mercedes 2011 e550. I found the speedometer very difficult to read during daylight conditions it is not lighted. My eyesight is 20/20). This is a safety problem because it takes your eyes off the road too long to read the very dim speedometer. It also causes one to go at speeds not easily controlled by a normal "glance"at the speedometer. *tr

E 350 2011 mercedes benz i own has problems with gear shifting while driving uphill. *tr

You put the car in park the digital display says "park" but it is not. You put the car in drive or reverse the digital display says drive or reverse and car does not move. In order to correct the problem you have to turn off the car and turn it back on then it will start to work properly again. I have taken photo's of the issue with the rpm up to 4k and the car mph at zero and it says "drive" in the display. I provided the photo's mercedes and the dealer and they keep saying they cant find anything wrong or duplicate the problem. The problem occurs once or twice a month. I spent some time trying to figure out how it gets in this mode and from what i determined is when the car is in drive if you move the lever to go in park you don't hear the transmission engage when it is not working properly but the digital display says "park". The transmission does not trigger the display when it should it seems to me the shift lever does the transmission should trigger the dash display if it is in park or drive or reverse to ensure it is in the proper gear. The same thing goes for when you are in park and put in drive or reverse. There has been several time that i left my car while running thinking it was in park and it start to drive forward only to jump back in and physically turn the car off. This issue occurs one or twice a month. *tr

2011 mercedes benz e class-this vehicle has an electronic shifter just behind steering wheel. It is difficult to tell if it goes into park or not. My wife had engine running, got out of car to check the trunk and thought she put the vehicle in park. It started to move and she was able to jump inside and hit the brake. Later that morning i pulled into a parking spot and thought i hit the park. I got out leaving the engine running with my wife in the passenger seat on the phone. When finished she shut the engine off and the car started to roll backwards. She couldn't reach over the console to hit the brake. She tried pushing the park button and nothing happened. The vehicle (72 hours old) stopped when it hit a car behind it in another parking space. Fortunately, nobody was behind the car or someone could have been killed. I spoke with mercedes corporate who said the electronic shifter has been around since 2006. The service foreman at my dealer told me there is no way to adjust the computer so that if the car isn't in park and the key is turned off the transmission would automatically sense no one in the drivers seat and the vehicle would lock into park. He explained with the key off had she opened the door the park would have automatically happened. It seems there is a simple fix. If the vehicle is below 5 mph and someone has the engine running but opens the door to get out it still should go into park. This is a simple program fix i would guess. There should also be a warning bell or voice command alerting the driver that the vehicle isn't in park. It came too late for my wife to know had she opened the door the car would have locked into park when the engine is off. There should be a warning posted to all new owners and a demonstration of how to best utilize the emergency system. Fortunately, no one was killed but my wife being twisted heart her back. Nothing can be done to correct the problem since the dealer has no designated fix. *tr
