2. Service Department Misconduct âXXX Appointment On XXX, I brought my vehicle to the dealershipâs service department for a pre-scheduled and confirmed appointment regarding a safety-related warning involving the emergency brake system.

While there have been no falls yet, it's only a matter of time before someone loses their balance or is hurt in some other way. This has been reviewed by the local dealer's service department who says there is nothing

My 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 has experienced multiple serious safety-related malfunctions involving several vehicle systems. In August, after picking up the vehicle from service, I placed my [XXX] grandson in his car seat, set my purse with the key inside the vehicle, and closed the rear door.
