Data refreshed
Airbags reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2015 C250 COUPE, I HAD TO BRAKE HARD AS I WAS TRYING TO AVERT STOPPED HEAVY TRAFFIC. WHEN I SLAMMED ON THE BREAKS, THE STEERING WHEEL, COLUMN AND ENTIRE VEHICLE LOCKED UP. I WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL ENTIRELY. AS A RESULT, MY VEHICLE SLIDE INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM BEHIND. BECAUSE BOTH THE STEERING AND BRAKES LOCKING, I WAS UNABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE TO AVOID THE STOPPED TRAFFIC. THE AIRBAGS ALSO DID NOT DEPLOY AS THEY SHOULD HAVE.

MY CAR RECEIVED THE CALL MESSAGE OF POTENTIAL AIRBAG HAZARD IN JANUARY, WHICH WOULD LEAD TO DEATH IF THE AIRBAG POPPED UP. HOWEVER, I HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED IN BANZ STORE FOR FOUR MONTHSIF THERE IS A SUDDEN ACCIDENT, THE AIRBAG WILL POP UP AND KILL PEOPLE. I WOULD LIKE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT SUCH A SERVICE. A DELAY OF ONE DAY IS VERY LIKELY TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT
