What owners report
My vehicle is having massive DPF filter issues I paid for it to be fixed and Mercedes fixed the DEF system under warranty but right before the warranty expired some how the DPF filter "was broke" I feel like Mercedes should have fixed it while it was under warranty but they did not. I asked for a good will repair and they refused. They wanted to charge me $6k for repairs and I could only take it to them. No one else could repair it. Finally I was getting sick from driving it with the massive emissions issues so I took it to an independent diesel mechanic to be fixed. That charged me over $1k and did not fix it matter of fact they made it worse. I have been driving it for a year breathing in
Driving down the road in heavy traffic and the lights on the dash came on and the vehicle went into limp mode almost immediately. I lost the ability to accelerate. I pressed the gas pedal and the engine just revved like it was in neutral. It almost caused an accident. lights were engine, traction, abs. Called MB dealer and they advised the wheel sensors had a NTSB warranty extension on the wheel sensors but my vehicle is not covered because the 10 yr warranty extension is up. Is there any way to get them to cover this problem?
TAKATA RECALL. SINCE RECEIVING THE RECALL NOTICE DATED DECEMBER 2017 I HAVE CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER 5 TIMES BEGINNING JAN 16, 2018. MANY PROMISES TO CALL ME BACK WITH A PROJECTED TIME THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAG WILL BECOME AVAILABLE, BUT SO FAR THEY NEVER HAVE CALLED ME BACK. AND TODAY THEY SAID THE SAME THING. THEY DON'T HAVE THE REPLACEMENT AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY WILL BE GETTING THEM, BUT THEY WILL FIND OUT AND CALL ME BACK. BASED ON THEIR PERFORMANCE TO DATE I DON'T EXPECT TO HEAR ANYTHING UNTIL I CALL THEM BACK AGAIN. IN THE MEANTIME I'M CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING THIS VEHICLE WITH A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG.
TAKATA RECALL. WE TOOK SAID VEHICLE TO MERCEDES BENZ, BATON ROUGE, LA OVER 3 WEEKS AGO, MARJORIE REIFF (225-490-3119) STATED THAT THE REPLACEMENT HAS TO BE ORDERED AND WOULD LIKE US TO CHECK BACK. WE WENT TO MERCEDES BENZ AGAIN TODAY (02/08/208) AND THE SAME PERSON STATED THAT OUR VEHICLE IS NOT LISTED BUT THE REPLACEMENT HAS TO BE ORDERED AND IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT 30 DAYS TO COME IN. I HAVE UNTIL 02-22-2018 TO GET THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED AND CANNOT GET ANY ASSISTANCE FROM THE DEALERSHIP IN BATON ROUGE, LA. CAN SOMEONE HELP WITH THIS MATTER?
