Consumer Description
My vehicle had started swerving when I had hit the brake. I noticed that my rear subframe had been rotting and did more research only to find that this was a common problem amongst Mercedes Benz owners. This is a huge safety issue as not only does it put my cars entire suspension at risk and cause a life threatening accident to me or others on the road it is also very concerning when my vehicle creaks and makes constant noises when driving. There are times it feels as if my vehicle’s suspension will fall out from under it and has been a clear issue Mercedes is aware of yet I have not received any recall notice nor have I gotten any answer as to how Mercedes can help me fix an issue they continuously overlook and sweep under the rug. I fear that eventually something will happen and have been trying to get an answer as to how to get my vehicle repaired without it coming back on me since the root of the issue lies in MBUSA parts snd not on my own doing.
