NHTSA Complaint #10543847 — 2011 MERCEDES-BENZ E350

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ON LAYTON AVE AND 43RD STREET, AND OUT OF NOWHERE THE HEADRESTS OF THE VEHICLE EXPLODED, PUSHING MY NECK FORWARD. GRANTED I WENT OVER A HOLE NOT THAT BIG, BUT THE EXPLOSION WAS SO DRASTIC THAT IT PUSHED MY SEAT FORWARD AND MY NECK IS NOW SORE AND TENDER FROM THE IMPACT. I AM REALLY SCARE NOW THAT THIS CAN HAPPEN ANYWHERE. I CALLED MERCEDES BENZ DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WANT ME TO BRING THE CAR SO THE CAN RESET THE SYSTEM. I DON'T LIKE THAT IDEA, BECAUSE I GOT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND NOW THE VALUE REALLY CHANGE. I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN IT ANYMORE. I DON'T THINK MERCEDES IS WILLING TO TAKE THE CAR BACK EITHER. SHOULD I FOLLOW A LAWSUIT? I HAVE 5 MONTHS LEFT ON THIS LEASE BUT ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN WITH THIS CAR NOW SINCE ALREADY SHOWED SOME MALFUNCTION. HEADRESTS ARE SUPPOSED TO POPPED OUT ONLY IF YOU ARE REAR ENDED. *TR
