I have seen a W210 car that had a front wheel come off at 80mph and go into oncoming traffic. The owner walked away after a 125+mph combined head-on. Your car is pretty damn safe even if the perch fails.

Here in Washington St., I have yet to see a single example of this failure.
We don't use road salt here, which seems to be the root cause.

Good luck with all of the lawsuits.

Here's an idea since you think MBs are so safe, and a spring/front wheel coming off is not a big deal at all. You can drive my car, and have your entire family in the car as well, and drive on the highway at 80mph for the next 2 months until the front wheel comes off. No biggie right?
