Since the time i purchased this car, the brakes have repeatedly made loud squealing noises. Mercedes has repeatedly examined the car and told us it is fine and not dangerous. They have never fixed the noise. However, more recently in december 2019, the car developed a strong fuel order in both the cabin and outside the vehicle. We brought it to a mechanic who said it was a problem with the clamp and the fuel line. He called the local mercedes dealer who told him to adjust the clamp. That has not fixed the problem. The smell is very strong, and i am scared to drive this vehicle. From online searches, i have found other people seem to be experiencing the same type of problem with mercedes cars.

The rear collision alert system has a design flaw. The sound adjusted by technician to 100% is barely audible by the driver, and typically at or after impact. It is also not linked to the car dash sound system, so the radiio does not shut off its volume. In this instance, the audible alarm is inaudible. I have had two accidents with the vehicle while it is in motion. The dealer does not argue with my assessment, but says the system is functioning as designed. Attached is my mercedes service record dated 10-23-2018 expecting the problem to be corrected by dealer programable technology. I advised the service manager that he might want to discuss this with mercedes before i filed this report. He declined. This is not a safe condition and could result in serious injury or damage.

After stopping, when the car transmission is in drive mode. If the driver presses the keyless ignition button to off, the car transmission switches to neutral mode. This causes rollover risk. If the driver does not see that the car is in neutral, the car can roll and cause collision and risk to people around. The car should either stay in drive mode or switch to park mode when the off button is switched when the car is in drive mode.
