Complaints on fileComplaints 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.

THE TRUNK RELEASE FEATURE ON MY 2010 E-CLASS MERCEDES-BENZ KEY WILL ENGAGE IN MY POCKET WITHOUT ACTUALLY PRESSING THE BUTTON OCCASIONALLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES (APPROXIMATELY 10 TIMES) IN THE 4 MONTH PERIOD I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. THE MOST RECENT OCCASION RESULTED IN EVERYTHING IN MY TRUNK BEING STOLEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. I SUSPECT IT IS THE FLAWED/POOR DESIGN ON THE KEY AS I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER TRUNK RELEASE FUNCTION ON ANY OF MY OTHER CARS. SINCE THE EVENT, I HAVE RESORTED TO THE MANUAL LOCK FEATURE THAT EFFECTIVELY DISABLES THE KEYLESS ENTRY FUNCTION.
