1. The vehicle experienced a fuel injector failure, which is part of the engine fuel delivery system. This failure appears connected to an open Fuel System Control Unit Software Update Recall (Campaign 2024080006) that has been open since May 2024 but was not performed on my vehicle, despite the vehicle being serviced at the dealership in January 2025 for other recall-related updates. The failed injector is still available for inspection upon request. 2. The vehicle began exhibiting symptoms of fuel system malfunction while driving, including rough idling, hesitation, and loss of power. A malfunctioning injector can cause the engine to misfire, stall unexpectedly, or run unpredictably, which creates a high-risk situation in traffic. This placed me, my passengers, and other drivers at risk, especially during acceleration or when merging into traffic. 3. Yes. The issue was diagnosed and confirmed by the Mercedes-Benz dealership, which stated that the injector had mechanically failed. T

All on a sudden the entire screen goes blank. It has happened at least 4 times and each time the service center does some patching and it works for a few month. When it happens, all the safety features are off including reverse camera. Also, no way to set the temperature or turn of the AC. In both cases, it can lead to significant damage. The recent incident happened when I was a very busy area and without any safety feature, the car was pretty much un-drivable.

I am attempting to submit a complaint against the Mercedes-Benz product and other auto manufacturers that follow this process. Mercedes provides no spare tire so this has been replaced by a "fix a flat" system that you can presumably use stop a tire air leak and then drive to a shop for repair. The fix a flat does not work when the tire is blown out or shredded so when this happens you are left with needing to have the vehicle towed to the dealership if using Mercedes' Roadside Assistance or to another shop at your own expense. Towing to a Mercedes dealership captures you to use the replacement parts in their inventory and costly labor charges. The time it takes to replace a tire is ridiculous considering a spare tire could be put on in a fraction of the time. There are approx. 30k miles on our vehicle and it has had to be towed twice for tires where the fix a flat did not work. Is this a safety issue? Absolutely, if you are driving outside of a city and the tire blows out then y
