What owners report

Verbatim reports filed with NHTSA, lightly edited for readability and with personal information removed.

“I am replacing the rear rims for the 3rd time in 1 year. The 2 amg rear rims keep cracking under normal driving conditions. This is absolutely ludicrous. I have driven for nearly 30 years and never had to keep replacing cracked rims like this. These rims are nearly 1500 each.”

WHEELS · reported 2020-11-06

“When parking the car. Transmission in drive and foot on brake. When the ignition button is pushed to turn car off, the car goes into neutral not park. The car will go into park when the door is opened. The car has rolled and can cause an accident if not careful. Was told this is normal operation…”
