The headliner/ceiling of the car is falling apart. Particularly the cloth under the sunroof all came off with the adhesiveness is lost and directly falls onto ones's face while driving and it could be fatal. Mercedes dealer acknowledged the issue but did not authorize a covered repair. This is real safety concern and there can be choking or other undesired disturbance with the hanging headliner part while driving. The adhesive materials exposed and the tiny particles could be inhaled into lungs, which could be other undesired damage stemming from the falling headliner cloth. This happened when i was driving and operated the sunroof opening. The headliner cloth landed on my face and i was able to control the car and take it to safety and temporarily held the cloth in place.

Brakes are applied unexpectedly while traveling different speeds. I have had the crap scared out of me the last time this happened while traveling at about 50mph. The car left skid marks for about 50ft and almost caused someone to rear end me as well as my car almost going sideways into another vehicle. Something n eds to be done about the safety of this vehicle. Mercedes corporate will not do anything nor will the dealership. I am so scared to drive it. I now have it parked until something happens to have me feel safe to drive this vehicle again. I have attached a picture of the skid marks. I have additional but it won't allow me to attach more than one.
