• 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 woke up one morning and was astounded to find a long diagonal crack across the panoramic sunroof of my 2016 mercedes-benz s550. I contacted mercedes and was told to bring the car to a dealership for evaluation to determine whether this was due to outside influence or a manufacturer's defect. They determined that it was a "stress crack" and stuck me with a bill for $13,000. This is a 2016 model car with 50k miles on it with a sunroof that spontaneously cracked. What if my wife and young children were in the car when it started to crack? The response from mercedes is unacceptable. This is a very dangerous manufacturer's defect which must be addressed before someone gets seriously hurt.

Heard a loud bang while driving down the highway and didn't know what it was until returning home and looked up and saw the rigid crack from front to the back on the panoramic glass. There are no indications of debris hitting the glass as there are no chips.

2016 mercedes cls550... I bought this car used and i've had it for about 6 months. I've already had a seizure in the car and was found slumped over by florida highway patrol at a dead stop with the car running and the air on and i woke up in the hospital. Something is wrong with the air conditioner causing carbon monoxide poisoning is the only thing that i can put together. The hospital obviously would not think that it was because of my air conditioner. They did a cat scan everything fine . They did a covid test everything and i was cleared and out the door in 5 hours. I have put this together and figured it out myself. I've had nothing but a foul sour disgusting odor coming through my air conditioner and i have almost passed out on three other occasions same exact feeling up until i had my seizure. Something is definitely wrong and i went ahead and replaced my cabin filter. I still have the one that was in the car. I want compensation for the damage that has become of my body because of this car. I heard that there has been many lawsuits for the air conditioner on this model and other models but never anything that would kill someone. I'm afraid to drive the car. I've had a tester used in my car and it picked up carbon monoxide. I am going to sue the balls off of mercedes and the dealership that sold me the car for not fixing this problem or any recalls that were put out. Anyways i can almost smell the exhaust fumes on top of a sour smell. Good thing i'm smart enough to put two and two together. I expect somebody to get back to me asap as i will be seeking legal representation and i will bring this public.
