While under a hard stop the vehicle’s rear end started to swing back and forth suddenly causing loss of control of the vehicle. Mercedes Benz diagnosed the problem as a rusted through subframe which they’ve said is a “known issue” and extended the warranty on the part. The part is unavailable and there’s no ETA from Mercedes which means that the vehicle is unsafe to drive and cannot be repaired.

TAMARA RECALL. I LEARNED TODAY THAT MB SENT NOTICES SUPPOSEDLY IN FEBRUARY OF 2018 ABOUT CARS THAT WERE NOW OR EVER HAVE BEEN IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA. MINE WAS SOLD IN ATLANTA. I BOUGHT IT AS A CERTIFIED PREOWNED IN 2014. I HAVE RECEIVED NO NOTICES. I ALSO OWNED A 2011 ML 350 BLUETEC THAT I BOUGHT NEW IN DEC 2010. I HAVE PERIODICALLY RECEIVED NOTICES ON THAT CAR FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW, BUT STILL NO ACTION EITHER. WHAT IS UP? THEY KNOW WE OWN IT. WE ALWAYS SERVICE IT AT A MB DEALER.
