Consumer Description
I am writing to formally express my deep dissatisfaction and serious concerns regarding both my 2024 and 2025 Mercedes-Benz vehicles, purchased/leased through your dealership. I am now facing an unacceptable situation that not only violates my consumer rights but has repeatedly placed my personal safety in jeopardy. After significant issues with my original 2024 vehicle, I was provided a replacement, which I took delivery of on October 15, 2024. Unfortunately, within two weeks, the replacement vehicle was already back in the shop for repairs. It has since required service again on December 24, December 31, and most recently, May 28, 2025. On one particularly alarming occasion, the vehicle shut off in the middle of the road, creating an extremely hazardous and life-threatening situation. I am driving a vehicle that cost over $60,000, yet it has proven consistently unreliable, unsafe, and unfit for normal operation. This experience has severely tarnished my perception of the Mercedes-Benz brand and has caused undue stress, inconvenience, and concern for my safety. Given the repeated repair attempts, persistent mechanical failures, and safety issues, I am requesting that Mercedes-Benz fully release me from this lease agreement without penalty or further financial obligation. Additionally, I am in the process of reviewing whether this situation meets the criteria under [Your State’s] Lemon Law, which typically applies when a vehicle undergoes multiple unsuccessful repair attempts for the same issue or is out of service for an extended period within the first 12-24 months of ownership. Based on the timeline and history of service visits, I believe my situation may qualify.
