What owners report
Verbatim reports filed with NHTSA, lightly edited for readability and with personal information removed.
“I suffered a catastrophic loss of control while driving on a road. The car yawed wildly before I was able to stop without injury. Further inspection showed the front left coil spring perch had separated from the body, allowing the spring to leave its mount and lose tension. Had I been at highway…”
“Suspension dropped at highway speed. Bearing broke off could only go straight as wheels could not turn left or right. Coil spring perch broke..wheel hitting wheel well. Left side of car front dropped towards ground. Someone will be killed or already probably have been. Mercedes benz knows of this…”
“Takata recall, received letter from mercedes benz saying I will receive a voucher for new airbags gratis but they do not know when. I hope I live long enough. Takata will obviously go bankrupt before they complete obligations for 54 million airbags...disgusted customer”
“Both front springs cracked/ broken”
