2014 M-B GLK350 WAS TRAVELING ON A SIX LANE ROAD: THREE LANES IN THE NORTH DIRECTION; THREE LANES IN THE SOUTH DIRECTION. GLK350 WAS TRAVELING IN THE NORTH DIRECTION RIGHT LANE AT APPROX. 15 MPH WHEN IT WAS BROADSIDED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE BY A PICKUP TRUCK WHO WAS COMING FROM THE SOUTH DIRECTION. THE PICKUP TRUCK MADE AN ILLEGAL LEFT HAND TURN AND CROSSED OVER THREE LANES OF TRAVEL IN AN ACCELERATING MODE BEFORE IMPACT WITH THE GLK350. THE PICKUP TRUCK WAS TRAVELING AT LEAST 25 MPH. IMPACT ZONE ON THE GLK350 WAS CENTERED BELOW A-PILLAR IN THE VICINITY OF THE FIREWALL, A VERY WELL REINFORCED AREA. NO AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED DURING THIS IMPACT --- ESPECIALLY CURTAIN AND SIDEBODY BAGS. DRIVER WAS INJURED ( CONCUSSION ); PASSENGER WAS INJURED AND DIED ( COMPLICATIONS OF TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY - CONCUSSION AS STATED ON DEATH CERTIFICATE ).

The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 122,000. The consumer was told to obtain a EDR from Mercedes who than stated, you have to request that information from the officer who filed the report to request a subpoena from a Judge, but the request was denied by the officer. Also, the vehicle was deemed as totaled but the air bags did not deploy. UPDATE: 07/01/2023- This letter is a follow-up to my initial telephone complaint over 4 ½ months ago filed with NHTSA concerning the uncontrollable acceleration of my vehicle on January 6, 2023, resulting in a collision with a parked vehicle. The details are again attached for your review in the following correspondence: •March 31, 2023 update and completed DOT Owner's Questionnaire •February 18, 2023 update •April 20, 2023 letter from Mercedes Benz •My accident photos •Police Report and other supporting documentation
Rear powered tailgate closes by itself. There is no warning. It closes VERY rapidly. This hit me in the head, but I am mostly concerned with others, such as elderly people and children. It could easily cause a concussion, or worse. I have contacted MBUSA advocacy at 1-800-222-0100 three times. I was told all three times that I would be contacted back within 24-48 hours (business days) regarding this safety issue. It has now been two weeks, and I have not received anything such as a returned phone call, email, etc. The vehicle is at my residence and available for any inspection or test, etc. I also have video of this problem. Again, the rear powered tailgate closes by itself, without warning. It closes VERY rapidly with force far greater than gravity alone.
The lift gate has an automatic open feature like many vehicles. When you press the handle or use the remote control to open the rear lift gate, the gate opens all the way. After some time (5 - 30 seconds), the gate slams suddenly either to half way open, or slams completely shut on its own. This is especially dangerous when a person is under the gate getting something out of the trunk, and the heavy metal gate suddenly slams on to their head.

1. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? -The entire electrical system failed and the power steering, SRS, and ABS systems malfunctioned. Yes, it’s available for inspection. 2. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? -Last night around 9 pm CST we crank the car and started to drive, (no warning light at that time) and all of a sudden the car had a warning message to start the engine or the vehicle would turn off the engine although we were already driving. The car started to show all the lights and the brakes got harder to press while we were driving about 40 miles per hour. We couldn’t stop completely at the traffic light and the SRS light came on in the dashboard. After we got off the main road, the power steering locked up as we were trying to turn into a parking lot to safely park. Even after removing the key, the engine remained on and the headlights. 3. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? -No, a dealer has not confirmed electrical problems for this specific VIN, although there has been a “blanket recall” on the models in this class. 4. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? -No, not to my knowledge. 5. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? -The battery light turned on around 9 am when I was driving my son to his appointment. Then the light went off. Later on in the day, I was able to drive approximately 30-40 miles before going home. In the evening, when driving to the grocery store, the battery light came back on and went off. After leaving grocery store, this is when the car malfunctioned. The ABS and SRS were prominent during the malfunction.
On 1/17/25, I was on my commute to my office when I noted a very strong and unpleasant odor. Thinking it was from a truck in front of me, I passed the truck, cracked my passenger window and continued the short distance to my office. After work, when I returned to my car, I noted a hole burned through my driver's side leather seat. I didn't make the connection to the odor from that morning until I arrived home and did some online research. It turns out that my front seat warmer had malfunctioned, burning all the way through the leather. This problem is well documented online in various forums in my year, make and model. In some cases I read about, driver's clothing burned. In one case I found, a child was burned. This is also a well documented problem that occurred in earlier models of Mercedes, resulting in a lawsuit and a recall. My car is currently at the dealer for repair of the faulty seat warmer, replacement of the burned foam cushion, and replacement of the leather seat cover. This could have been so much worse had I been earlier in my commute, or on a highway where I could not have pulled over. It seems like this problem should prompt a recall.
On January 01, 2025, I started my wife's car after adding coolant. I just want to warm it up since we did not use it in a couple of days. I activated the heated seat on the driver side where I was seated and was just looking at the dashboard. I felt something on back right side and thought that there was an insect bite. When I turned and look, I discovered a dime size red small flame and smoke on the seat and realized that it is possibly and part of the heated seat heating element that burned through the seat material and burned my sweater a little bit. I turned off the heated seat immediately and shut off the car and made sure the burning stop or was out. I was thankful that this happen while I was just warming out the car and stationary and that it did not happen while my wife was driving the car. This could have produced a dangerous situation, a bigger fire while driving and could have cause an accident. I called the Mercedes Benz service department which was possibly closed but I got a call back the following day and they said that there is no open recall on this vehicle on anything. I ask what is my option and the answer was to get it checked at the service dept. and that it would cost $351.00 just to find out what was wrong with it. I schedule service for Jan 14, 2025 at 3:30 pm. No police or insurance inspection was done. There has been no warning lamp or message to warn me of the problem. Jan 01, 2025 is the first time it happened. I told my wife not to use the heated seat and put a note on the car to inform anyone that will be in the car even though it is just my wife and I that drives the car.

The three aluminium screws of the steering box may corrode due to exposure to spray water and aggressive road-grit (salt) used for melting ice. Advanced corrosion could weaken the screws, leading to potential breakage during manoeuvring or parking. If all fixing screws fail, the power-assisted steering could detach, resulting in a loss of power steering and an increased risk of an accident. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
