I was already 90% in parking line which is handicap's. About to stop right front of handicap sign, suddenly vehicle start moving forward while my foot was in brake so i push little hard to complete stop but vehicle suddenly accelerate forward smashing into the building glass entry wall and door. I am so certain that my foot was in brake. I want to know that is there any way someone call or visit where body shop to inspect the vehicle so i can ask manufacture to replace my vehicle.

I took the car to the service 3 times in 4 months. There are many problems with the car. The first problem was that the left rear shock was leaking which made a squeaking noise when driving. There was also an odor problem with the car that was coming from the ventilations. These two problems were fixed. I took the car another time. There was another problem with the eco start/stop function and a problem with the car trunk only closing halfway. The eco start/stop function was fixed but they said that they didn't detect a problem with the trunk. The third time i took it to the service i provided a video for the trunk only closing halfway and i also had another problem with the blindspot detector. My wife was almost gong to get into an accident as a result of the blind spot not showing up when she was moving to the left lane. I took a video of the blind spot detector not working properly. They were able to fix the car trunk and said that the blind spot detector was fixed, but i have no faith in the company because i have had many problems with the car. This is a new car that was made in 2018, and it already has had many problems with it in the past months. We called the mercedes manufacturer in the us about these problems. They said that they will get back to me but have not said anything. I tried calling them back but they wouldn't answer me. We took the car from a mercedes car dealership. The attachments are copies of the summary of the three services that i went to. This is a new car and it already has this many problems.

I found out that only on 2018 mercedes gls models, the car lets you turn off the engine without a warning and puts the car in neutral automatically. It does not put the car to 'p' or gives you a warning saying you need to put the gear to 'p' to stop the car. I have never seen something like this in any car. Basically you brake and stop then turn off the engine with the button. The car shifts to 'n' instead of 'p' and if you release the brake the car slides since it is in neutral. Even older cars do not let you turn off the engine before shifting to p ar never cars just automatically shifts to p when you turn off the engine. Since as drivers we are not used to this, i can say that i had the car slide at least 5 times this week -fter leasing this vehicle. I called mercedes and they acknowledge the issue but they say this is how this particular car was built. It is very dangerous and a never before seen issue with any cars i have driven over 25 years i have been a driver. The operating manual also states that the car shifts to n when turned off.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 mercedes-benz gls450. While driving 70 mph, the vehicle lost power and all the warning indicators on the instrument panel illuminated. Also, when the brake pedal was depressed, the vehicle failed to stop. The contact stated that the vehicle finally stopped upon reaching a hill. The vehicle failed to restart and was towed to fletcher jones motorcars (3300 jamboree rd, newport beach, ca 92660, (949) 718-3000). The dealer diagnosed that the wiring harness melted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a complaint was opened. The failure mileage was 200.

My gls-450 has the 'lighting package' with active led headlamps including 'corner-illuminating front headlamps, actiated (activated spelled wrong) by the steering wheel or turn-signal use, brighten your way into driveways and garages.' as i live in a very dark rural area, i ordered these lights. I soon discovered that the leds, while superior for forward lighting,provide little or no side lighting for the driver to see when turning onto divided highways with dark islands, etc. This is because the leds are very straight shooting forward. But this led lighting package was supposed to have "cornering lights" actuated by turn signal or low speed while turning which solves this problem. I had already experienced the advantage of these 'cornering lights' on my wife's 2014 mercedes-benz glk-250. But my vehicle is missing the 'cornering light' feature. In checking with the dealer and mbusa, they say this is because nhtsa will not allow "cornering lights" on the gls-450 because of the height of the headlight unit above the ground. Could this be true? Lack of cornering lights in the active led headlights makes cornering in this vehicle unsafe at night, and the lamp height rule, if there is one, should be modified and recall issued for gls 450 vehicles with defective active led headlights missing the cornering light feature they advertise as included (see mbusa.Com build your gls450, lighting packages). Please take action on this and let me know your decision. Thank you!
