Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints 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.

5 MONTHS AFTER RECIEVEING THE CAR I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY FRONT PASSANGER SIDE TIRE AIR PRESUURE INDICATOR WENT OFF. I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND PUT A "FIX A FLAT" IN THE TIRE THINKING I RAN OVER A NAIL. THE TIRE WENT LOW AGAIN SO I DROVE TO THE LOCAL MERCEDES BENZ DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY MOUNTED THE CAR AND SHOWED ME THE "FIX A FLAT" GEL COMING OUT OF THE SIDE OF THE UNDAMAGED TIRE INDICATING A CRACKED WHEEL. THEY REMOVED THE TIRE AND INFACT I HAD A CRACKED WHEEL. 4 MONTHS LATER MY FRONT DRIVERS SIDE AIR PRESSURE INDICATOR WENT OFF WHERE THE MERDCEDES DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED MY SECOND CRACKED WHEEL IN LESS THAN A YEARS TIME!
