2019 Mercedes A-Class

I was driving home from work down the hwy, when the sun visor shade fell down and hit me in the head and covered my face, temporarily blinding me, like a blanket was pulled over my face. It's very difficult to see the road or other drivers when you are blinded at 70mph! Car only had 15,500 miles on it...

Vehicle: 2019 Mercedes-Benz A220 VIN: [XXX] Dealer: Mercedes-Benz of Walnut Creek (Walnut Creek, CA) I am reporting multiple safety defects involving federally regulated systems. The vehicle has repeatedly activated emergency braking at freeway speeds without reason, posing a significant risk of collision. The brake assist warning appears frequently, and both the front and rear proximity/collision sensors display a full red warning state with continuous audible alerts. These alerts cannot be cleared without manually disabling the safety system each time the vehicle is started. One of the sensors physically detached from the vehicle. Backup and parking assist features do not function correctly, and the vehicle repeatedly shows malfunction warnings. The dealer verbally stated that a “manufacturer-covered engine repair” was needed, but would not disclose the nature of the repair or whether it relates to these safety issues. After two weeks in their possession, the dealer refused to provide written documentation of any diagnostics or repairs performed. They attempted to return the vehicle without confirming whether it is safe to operate and threatened storage fees when I requested written confirmation. These issues involve systems covered under FMVSS 101, 111, 126, and 135, including electronic stability control, braking, rear visibility, and driver-interface warnings. The failures pose a clear safety risk to the driver and other motorists. I am requesting NHTSA review these defects for potential investigation or recall.

While driving the car shuts off and unable to restart. It will turn over but not remain started enough to move the vehicle. I did notice it jerk when speed was increased a few times before. Fuel pump was replaced less than a year ago according to Mercedes in Tuscaloosa Alabama. . After a certified Mercedes mechanic inspected the vehicle I was told it was the fuel pump once again. $4000+ later and I am having the same issue. Very frustrating to be stranded with my kids in the car.

I have had numerous issues with my 2019 A220. At 92k mi my cylinder head had to be replaced. My check engine light came on and they said there was a cylinder head leak. At 108k miles I had to have it replaced yet again because my car lost power driving uphill when shifting between 4th and 5th gear. Now at 112k mi the check engine light came on and sure enough they need to replace all 4 ignition coils… Additionally, I have issues with my air vents. They will frequently send air out of a section I have turned off (ex. turn air on my upper body and it sends air to my feet instead). Somewhat related but whenever I turn my car off it makes a lot of strange noises on the inside of the car by my entertainment center, almost similar to a stomach grumbling/farting noises. Lastly, I’ve had issues with trying to close my windows and they’ll close fully but then drop down half an inch or so afterward.

The tow hook and strap used when necessary to tow a car and that is stowed under the car or behind the rear bumper and accessed through a small door on the bumper spontaneously deployed while I was driving. It flew up against the side of the car, causing minor damage, damaged and partially dislodged the rear bumper, and the hook embedded in the right rear tire, causing it to go flat. I am waiting to learn whether there is additional damage to the underside of the car such as to a brake line. The parts are available for inspection. This is not a problem to be reproduced! I have photos showing the car and the hook in my tire. The only warning light appeared after the tire started losing pressure, but the thump sound as the hook and strap hit my car, and as the tire rotated and drove over the hook alerted me first. The weather was clear, there was no immediate traffic, no obstacles in the road. No sign of a bullet or something to cause it to deploy.

The component or system that failed was the MBUX Hard Disk Drive (Part#: A0009062711). My car is available for inspection upon request. My safety and the safety of others were put at risk because when the MBUX Hard Disk Drive malfunctioned the following happened: 1) The defogger was spontaneously disabled hindering the driver's view of the road 2) The rear camera was spontaneously disabled while in active use of reversing the car risking hitting someone or something 3) Content from Satellite radio some of which was vulgar language would spontaneously blast through the car speaker on the highest volume causing the driver to become alarmed/distracted from the road with the inability to power off, mute or lower the volume because the volume, mute and power off button for the radio would malfunction. This incident caused me to slighty loose control of wheel because I was caught by suprise or shock of loud music or content coming through the speaker uninvited. Lastly, in the year 2021 a recall/remedy for this component was to be replaced by Mercedes Benz on other specific models. I do not understand why my vehicle was not added to the list of cars that required a remedy. I should NOT had to learn and experience similar impairments 3 years after a known issue. I should had been made aware of this defective part 3 years ago.

On 03/10/23, I contacted the Mercedes-Benz service department regarding the black screen on the driver's side display. The Mercedes-Benz service personnel informed me that the screen needed to be replaced, with an estimated cost of around $2000. I agreed to their suggestion and authorized the replacement. Later, the Mercedes-Benz service personnel contacted me again, stating that the black screen issue was not resolved and recommended replacing the computer mainframe, which would cost over $6500. I refused their suggestion as the cost exceeded what I was willing to pay. When I went to pick up my car from the Mercedes-Benz dealership, I noticed that the central control display screen was also blacked out. I confronted them about it, and they admitted that they were responsible for the damage. However, they stated that they were not liable for compensation because I did not pay the initial $2000 for the replacement of the screen. My argument is that I was willing to pay for the replacement, but they failed to fix the screen. Why should I be held responsible for the payment? Additionally, they did not even replace the screen, so why should they use the excuse of the unpaid replacement cost to avoid compensating me for the damage they caused to my central control display? It is unfair to expect a fair exchange when they neither replaced the screen nor fixed it. I feel that this situation is an act of consumer mistreatment.

The display screen of the driver's seat was damaged due to the automatic update last month. The dealer told me to replace the display screen for US$2,000. After I agreed to pay, I was told that the central control display screen was broken again and needed to be replaced for nearly US$7,000. I refused the dealer. However, the central control display screen was still good originally. Now the main driver does not have a display screen, and even the central control screen is damaged. The central control screen is damaged due to their operation. How should I protect my rights in this situation?

The image from the rear view camera displayed on the console dashboard is mirror/reverse (left & right is crossed). This causes driver to see things that are in the left rear to display on the screen as if it was in the right rear. Cross traffic appears to cone from the opposite side. When backing and turning, the camera shows the opposite direction of where the wheel is being turned. Causes confusion in processing the information. The dealership informed me that it is a software issue and will wait on the upgrade. However, when I called Mercedes, they do not know if and when the software will be upgraded inspite of the numerous reports of the same issue by other owners of different models to the dealership.

For about two years, I have been experiencing problems with my Mercedes Benz, and Mercedes Benz has done nothing to help. The jolting issues on my 2019 Mercedes Benz A220 4 matic have never been fixed. I am afraid to drive because I am a young woman, and I cannot afford to get a new car due to financial issues. I have been without a car for several weeks because they haven't been able to fix the same issue. In addition, I have had to request Mercedes loaner cars consistently when my vehicle is being repaired. I want this to be over and to have my car fixed for good. It has caused me emotional and mental distress to have to pay for rentals when they don't have loaner cars. Mercedes has found the issue, however, the problem will return. I have been to their locations approximately 10 times due to this issue, and I feel there is never a resolution. It has been evident each time I visit Mercedes Benz that they don't care about me as a client. The whole process of trying to "fix" the jolting issue has taken nearly over a month, which has become unbearably stressful for me. The car problems have affected my work as well as my academic life as a student.

I have leased this vehicle from New in 2019. Since early 2020 I had the check engine come on as well as Tire Sensors. I informed Dealership and they took in for repair. My vehicle is repaired and handed back only for the check engine light and tire sensors to come back on. My vehicle has been in the service department for about 8 times and each time the check engine returns. No reason is given for the failure other than "bring it back and we will fix again". My check engine light is currently now back on and I have to return it again on Tuesday 7th Feb. It would have been in for repair more times but in 2020 I was told by the Dealership Service Manager at that time that it was safe to drive with the check engine light on..which I did. At this time I did contact MBusa and dealt with Executive Referral Manager [XXX]. I also contacted her again in 2022 for assistance. The Dealership can not fix the Check engine light as they have proved by the multiple failed attempts. They have has my vehicle in for weeks during my 42 month lease which ends on 30th March 2023. For nearly all this time the check engine light has been on I have recently again discussed this with MBusa and last week I was connected to another MB Executive Referral Manager called [XXX]. He confirmed that MBusa can not give vehicle mechanical or safety advice [which I found strange] as there is no department within MBusa that deals with this type of enquiry. He stated that whatever the Dealership sees as being safe then MBusa will stand by that decision. I have driven for nearly the whole of my lease with Check engine light on and tire sensor readings. I am handed back my vehicle with the assurance that it has been repaired only for it to fail .on one occasion within 2 miles drive from picking it up. Service Manager does not see this as an issue but I am totally unsure as to what the warning light is telling me and this has made me not enjoy my vehicle or to feel safe. Hence the reason it has 22k. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

My A220 has numerous problems starting the airbag failure light comes on very often which I took in for a repair - Mercedes of downtown stated they fixed but it still has the airbag failure light appearing every now and again. The second issue that keeps happening is what I believe is a transmission failure, the first time I bought the car I noticed it kept jolting when accelerating and or going up a hill. I was quite scared because I had a ford focus that did the same thing and would die on me all the time. This A220 has the same exact jolting as my ford focus did but does not die. I kept bringing my car into Mercedes and explaining my concern, they didn't find any issues until recently when Mercedes stated it was the "battery" after they "supposedly fixed the issue, I noticed a month went by and the car continues to have the same jolting. I am extremely terrified of driving this car at this point and need assistance in having Mercedes look into this deeper.

A few weeks ago, I abruptly noticed that my front right tyre pressure was lower than the rest. I went to a gas station and filled air in the tyre and all was good. I drove over 200 miles in 3 days and did not see any significant issues. After this, I didn't drive for about 3 days as I was working for home. Over these 3 days the tyres seemed to have lost pressure again! I got my types checked and turns out the wheel rims, which are manufactured by Mercedes have a crack in them. This has happened out of nowhere and for absolutely no reason at all. I did not hit anything or go over any potholes. As a certified engineer, I can attest to the fact that this is not normal, the wheel rims getting damaged before the tyres of the car are affected is not good design on the part of Mercedes. I have seen a lot of forums and a lot of people complaining about this issue and I firmly believe action needs to be taken against Mercedes to rectify this life threatening issue. Thank you.
