Consumer Description

A problem with the rear subframe had occurred in which it had started to rust. Due to the severity of the issue I noticed my car started veering when hitting the brakes as well multiple concerning sounds and stability issues with the vehicle. Mercedes has not contacted me about replacing the part nor has their been any warning lights or any indication of the issue being present other than when the subframe had already been rotted. When speaking to MB about the issue their was nothing they could do for me which is questionable being that the cause of this is a manufacturing issue. I have yet to receive any information as to how the issue may be resolved. Not only does this put myself at my family at risk but as well as the community around me. Wether when braking my vehicle may veer and cause a collision or an issue where the subframe fails and causes an accident.
