Consumer Description
Interior door handle becomes inoperative due to breaking of some internal element. This prevents leaving the vehicle. Of concern is that in case of emergency, the occupant cannot exit the vehicle.

This is a well known defect of this series of Mercedes Benz to which the manufacturer has not accepted responsibility.
