Everyone who has had this problem please call the NHTSA at 888-327-4236.

A recall is issued on vehicles when the defect can cause loss of control or loss of safety equipment on the vehicle.

As we know Mercedes is in denial of this problem, follow through is key. I would suggest also writing to your state representatives and let them know that the NHTSA waits until they see a trend before they investigate the problem, and that your safety on the road should be paramount.

This can work, I watched my mother wage a one person campaign against Renault in 1988, and won. Writing to everyone who can do something, return the NHTSA complaint form with a letter. Writing is always more effective than a phone call.

Remember- Safety issues such as vehicle surging, loss of engine power, fire hazard, loss of lighting, loss of brake power.
