Consumer Description

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.
