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 am experiencing issues with my active curve system, that other mb models of the same year and class are experiencing. Some of the 2016 gle's have been recalled for this particular issue, but my vehicle/vin has not been included in the recall. I receive this error message when turning a curve. My vehicle is under warranty and mb will not pay for this with my cpo warranty. The dealership has quoted me $6984.00 to fix the issue. Please investigate this matter because i think that my vehicle/vin should have been included with the current recall campaign number 18v27200. My active curve system has been leaking oil. I am concerned as this is a fire hazard and safety issue. I can smell the oil burning as well as see it foaming from the fluid canister.

Car stalled on the highway then towed to the dealership. Dealership stated the fuel line was flooded with water. The service manager stated that i let the trunk open in the rain, but i did no such thing. There was also no water in the trunk of the car. This seems to be a defect when the vehicle is exposed to normal rainy conditions. There is no way water should be able to get to the fuel line because it should be insulated against moisture. Corporate thought there was flooding in the area, but there is no flooding in dallas, texas. Mb conducts quality testing in different climates so i do no see why they would not consider it to be a product defect. Someone can potentially die from the car stalling on the highway. This is something that should not be overlooked by mb.

Car lurches forward during braking causing the car to shutter and buckle forward without control.Issues occurs in all modes of drive, including eco, sport, sport+ and comfort. When approaching a stop the car jerks forward while brakes are applied. Rpm's boost up without any motion on the gas pedal and subsequent motion on the brake. Car lunges forward causing whiplash and loss of control at speeds under 20 mph. Car has had this specific transmission issues since purchase in 9/2016 and dealership has dealt with this issue on the same make and model without avail. Car has been in for service since 11/2/2017 without any update, 30+ days in state of california (automatic lemon law applies). Car needs a software fix that hasn't been issued yet, and will not be issued until the earliest mid-january 2018. When first brought in for service (4 weeks after purchase) dealer stated the car was "breaking in", i had to tell the dealership that i wouldn't pay them for scheduled maintenance if they could not fix the transmission issue they kept the car and still have it .Mercedes north america - special reference to the west coast referral manager has been uncooperative in responding to requests for information and does not respond to any communications.

Eco start/stop feature is unsafe. Driver could misinterpret when vehicle is in eco stop mode vs off in park. This could cause the vehicle to start and lurch forward when the driver takes their foot off the brake when they assume it is off in park. Unsafe.
