Service Brakes
09/01/2023
I was driving the car and when applied the breaks noticed that they weren’t working. It was close to be an accident with the car in front of mine, but I was able to maneuver the car. When I stopped noticed that the break fluid container was almost empty and the fluid was leaking under the car. I brought the car to the Mercedes Benz dealership and they said that it was “normal corrosion” that caused the break lines to be totally rusted and leak. They also mentioned that “it was pretty common to happen in those cars during summer”. I had no option but to pay several thousand dollars for the replacement of the rusted and corroded brake lines. It is clear that Mercedes Benz doesn’t care about the safety of the passengers, and even worse, profiting from a defect in the materials that they use for the brake lines. Someone should make Mercedes-Benz recall the cars affected and replace the defective brake lines, free of cost for the owner. Passenger’s safety is not a business!

Cluster showed inoperative malfunction on the interstate and car accelerator faulted to 2 mph. A Tractor trailer came close to hitting me. Pulled over. Police escorted off and was towed to dealer. They first installed a new gas pedal but did not work. Now they said it is the harness electrical wiring tans the plug connector to the accelerator pedal that needs replacement. There is a bulletin on this with model year 2016-2019 only. They should include 2015 model as well. Very dangerous that could be fatal or seriously injured. This I happened to. 2015 Mercedes E Class.
