NHTSA Complaint #11614618 — 2022 MERCEDES-BENZ S 500

The car slams on the brakes for no reason. phantom braking. i have been tailgated because cars behind me - particularly on tye highway - think i’ve brake checked them (but it was the care slamming on the brakes). the door handles don’t open/deploy reliably. sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t. the touch screens are incredibly dangerous - especially when the system freezes or doesn’t work properly - which is often. there are almost no physical buttons. the system software & touchscreens are VERY glitchy and often doesn’t function properly. touch-sensitive buttons on the steering wheel get activated just from me driving. functions turn on and off just because my hands in on the steering wheel. it’s dangerous. the car had 7 flat tires in 1 year. it’s too heavy for the 21” low profile tires. MBUSA has been made aware of the multitude of problems. The car is constantly at the dealership for warranty repairs. It's a lemon, but MBUSA won’t do anything about it. not until someone gets killed. MBUSA blows me off with every interaction and complaint i make about the quality problems with this car. They don’t care.
