HI, I WAS DRIVING NORMALY ON A ROAD, NO WARNING, JUST BRAKE LIGHT POPS UP TO REDUCE POWER. PEDAL WAS EMPTY AND STEERING GOT HARD NO UPSHIFT. I HIT A CURB AND CRACKED MY BUMPER. ALL BRAKES ARE NEW. WHEN I LOOKED ON LINE, I SAW SOME PEOPLE DEVELOPED A DEVICE THAT RESETS THE ABS MUDUAL TO 100%. THEY SAID MERCEDES PUT A TIMER IN THE SYSTEM THAT RUNS OUT AND MAKE YOU CHANGE STUFF? THIS DEVICE I JUST BOUGHT TO USE SO I CAN USE MY CAR. I'M AN AUTOMOTIVE TECHNICIAN AND THIS SCRAED THE HELL OUT OF ME ON A DARK NIGHT IN OHIO. I ENED UP TOWING MY CAR TO MY HOUSE 60 MILES AWAY. VERY ANGERY WITH MB.

THE CAR WILL SOMETIMES THINK THERE IS SOMEONE RIDING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WHEN NO ONE IS THERE. IT CAUSES THE SEATBELT LIGHT AND THE WARNING BEEPS TO OCCUR. ITS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE ITS A DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING AND IT WOULD SET OFF THE AIRBAGS FOR THAT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE IF ANYTHING IS TO HAPPEN.

THE STEERING WHEEL ADJUSTMENT DOESN'T GO UP. IT DOESN'T WORK STATIONARY OR IN MOTION.

EIS MODULE AND KEY FAILED WHILE ON FREEWAY, CAUSING CAR TO LOSE ALL GAUGES RADIO AND ENDING WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO START VEHICLE ON SIDE OF FREEWAY. NOW THIS IS GOING TO COST ME 1300 DOLLARS.. CAR HAS BEEN GREATLY TAKEN CARE OF AND WELL MAINTAINED. NO REASON THAT THIS SHOULD HAPPEN. I COULD OF WRECKED BC THE TURN SIGNALS STOPPED WORKING AS WELL IN THE FAST LANE WITH NO LEFT SHOULDER TO PULL OVER TO. DEADLY

MY VEHICLE FILLS WITH THE SMELL OF GASOLINE SO BADLY THAT IT MAKES ME PHYSICALLY ILL. I HAVE TO DRIVE IT WITH ALL THE WINDOWS OPEN TO TRY TO TOLERATE THE SMELL AND EVEN THEN, THE OVERWHELMING STENCH OF GASOLINE IS PALATABLE ENOUGH TO TASTE, CAUSE HEADACHES, AND NAUSEA. THIS STARTED A COUPLE MONTHS AGO WITH A SLIGHT SMELL AND HAS GOTTEN STEADILY WORSE. IN THE MIDST OF THE "STAY AT HOME" ORDERS I LEFT IT AND DROVE A DIFFERENT VEHICLE. IN THIS TIME I DID SOME ONLINE RESEARCH AND WAS APPALLED TO LEARN THAT MERCEDES IS FULLY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. THEY EXTENDED A WARRANTY PERIOD OF 15 YEARS TO OWNERS BUT DID NOT CONSIDER IT A SAFETY ISSUE AND SEND THE INFORMATION TO VEHICLE OWNERS SO THAT THEY
