Brakes are applied unexpectedly while traveling different speeds. I have had the crap scared out of me the last time this happened while traveling at about 50mph. The car left skid marks for about 50ftand almost caused someone to rear end me as well as my car almost going sideways into another vehicle. Something n eds to be done about the safety of this vehicle. Mercedes corporate will not do anything nor will the dealership.i am so scared to drive it. I now have it parked until something happens to have me feel safe to drive this vehicle again. I have attached a picture of the skid marks. I have additional but it won't allow me to attach more than one.
I was driving on the freeway doing about 55 mph when all of the sudden the car brakes by it self with no warning whats so ever , that was a very scary situation i had vehicles behind me and they had to brake too, that was for about 3 to 5 seconds , i was shaking and scare because i didn't know what happen, another time around the corner from my house as i was turning it did it again for like two seconds, this is very scary because you don't know when is it going to do it again.
My gear shifter is defective as i have problem taking it out of gear stationary to drive and also the car does not know what gear i shift into causing high engine revive in the engine and sometimes the car will not drive as it won't move in the middle of traffic on the local roads and highway while in motion from driving.also the check engine light is on.

The headliner/ceiling of the car is falling apart. Particularly the cloth under the sunroof all came off with the adhesiveness is lost and directly falls onto ones's face while driving and it could be fatal. Mercedes dealer acknowledged the issue but did not authorize a covered repair. This is real safety concern and there can be choking or other undesired disturbance with the hanging headliner part while driving. The adhesive materials exposed and the tiny particles could be inhaled into lungs, which could be other undesired damage stemming from the falling headliner cloth. This happened when i was driving and operated the sunroof opening. The headliner cloth landed on my face and i was able to control the car and take it to safety and temporarily held the cloth in place.
