I purchased a new 2014 mercedes s550 and the day after purchase, the airbag malfunction light came on.i set up an appointment to have this corrected, and was told it was fixed.a couple of weeks later, i was traveling at approximately 20mph, approaching an intersection where i did not have a stop sign.i noticed a large suv traveling east bound at excessive speeds (guessing 35-40), which did not appear to be stopping, but could not stop in time to avoid the collision.the suv impacted the driver's side of my vehicle at full speed.my vehicle spun and was hit again at the side and rear driver's side.i was pushed over the curb and into a snow bank where i eventually stopped after hitting the yield sign.i was trapped in my vehicle as i had carved thru the snow and all doors were blocked.the damage to the vehicle was on the driver's side front, side and back.the hit was hard enough to cause frame damage to the vehicle, needing frame repair.there were no airbags deployed during the crash and given the previous malfunction with the airbag system, this was a major concern for me.i notified mercedes benz of the issue, and it wasn't until several requests that they responded.they sent someone to the body shop to look at the car and confirmed there is frame damage; however, stated it was not hard enough of a hit to trigger airbag deployment.i have a hard time understanding how it can be hard enough to cause frame damage yet not trigger airbag deployment?this is a completely redesigned vehicle and mine was one of the first on the road.i am fearful that this is a larger issue that is not being addressed, or uncovered, since this is a recently released model.as a result of the impact, i sustained injuries to my neck, back and left elbow.i am hoping this could get address to avoid future injuries, or death, to other drivers and passengers.thank you.

Aggravating noise associated with high pressure fuel pumps, tick, tick, ticking noise at any speed. Complained to dealer, but despite exchanging pumps, noise persists. Complained to mbusa, was told this was a 'normal noise'. Sounds like an oxymoron to me. Very disappointed with car noise and response to my plea for help.

According to the recall nhtsa campaign id number: 16v899000 and the vehicle inspection report from the local mercedes dealership show as an identical issue.however, my vehicle is not identified as apart of the recall.the recall states the issue is due to the steering control unit not being soldered properly.difficult to think this falls under normal wear and tear. I will get the repair done begrudgingly, though it would be nice if mercedes would have stood behind its recall.

When making turns both left and right, there is a moaning noise heard. Cause: lower engine compartment center and rear, steeering coupling, rubber bellows on steering.

At approximately 0030 friday august 07, i was travelling 65 mph north bound on the ca215/60 freeway, there was little traffic. I heard what sounded like a gunshot, then a crincling glass sound and finally a whooshing of air i would soon see was a gaping hole where my closed panoramic sunroof use to be. I exited the freeway at the next exit and pulled into a gas station, got out of the car and upon inspecting the car found a huge hole where my panaramic sunroof use to be. I also made a video available at request.

This vehicle was purchased new in 2014.the vehicle has a reverse tilt function feature on the right passenger mirror.when functioning properly, the right passenger mirror tilts downward and to the right when the vehicle is placed in reverse so that the driver can see all objects to the right rear of the vehicle (in the vehicle's blind spot).once the vehicle is shifted into drive, the right mirror is supposed to return to the driver's (memory) setting position for the mirror so that the driver is able to see out of the right mirror when driving on the highway.the mirror on this vehicle fails to return to the driver's (memory) setting after shifting the vehicle into drive after being in reverse.the mirror remains in the downward and to the right position thus leaving the driver completely unable to see out of the mirror when driving on the highway.the driver is forced to take his/her eyes off of the road, and the surrounding vehicles, to manually adjust the mirror thus placing the driver and all passengers at a significant risk of injury.while it is unconfirmed, this vehicle was involved in a side-swipe type motor vehicle accident, and it is suspected that this mirror defect was a contributing cause to the accident.mercedes-benz usa is aware of this defect and is aware that at least two cases have been reported in the united states in the 2014 s550 model. Mercedes-benz usa is also aware that this defect exists in the 2015 s550 model.mercedes-benz usa has been given numerous opportunities to cure this defect and it has failed/refused to make the repair, thus exposing all 2014 and 2015 s550 drivers, and their passengers, to a significant risk of injury.

This past thursday evening (december 13, 2018) around 10:00 pm, i was driving (with my wife in the passenger seat) down a curvy stretch of road on sunset boulevard in beverly hills, when i suddenly heard a loud thumping sound and immediately felt violent vibrations through the steering wheel.since we were traveling at a relatively low speed of 30 mph, i was immediately able to re-gain the control of my vehicle and was able to pull over safely.once i got out of my vehicle, i immediately noticed that the front right wheel rim had completely broken into two halves. I was shocked and very surprised because nothing could have possibly explained why this wheel completely broke in the manner that it did.we were extremely fortunate that there were no other vehicles around us at the time the wheel broke, or that we were not on the highway traveling at much higher speeds, otherwise the results would have been fatal with even a possibility of significant injury or even loss of life.a complete report with pictures and cause of rapid fracture of the rim as a complaint was provided to mercedes dealership and corporate, they are refusing to admit to any material defect and liability.
