2015 Mercedes-Benz GLK350 Driver assistance Problems

There are two issues with my vehicle, both started recently. The mileage is only around 33000 miles. The two front tire pressure warnings keep coming on, and I have tried multiple times to correct this, doesn't matter if it exactly correct on reading for pump, or above or below, it just keeps saying they need adjusting. It is only the two front ones and they have been doing this for about 2 weeks now. Second issue has been a recall for other mercedes models but not mine, and it could be that there are much fewer of these on the road and had less complaints. It is exactly same issue that other models that have been recalled. My reversing camera has started to either not work at all, or come on and go off, then reset and come back on again, however this is making it impossible to rely on in a reversing situation. It is basically dangerous as I can be halfway into a manoever and it stops working.

The lien keeping assistant is stuck in operative mode. So I had a recall on my airbag and got it changed out yesterday and had the dealership check why it was on they told me I need a new steering wheel. Prior to yesterday two months ago. All the lights came on warning light and I lost power to the engine and then it will kick back on. I’m concerned because they put the airbag in the steering wheel and did a diagnostic and told me I need a new steering wheel the steering wheel pretty much run the whole car I have no horn or nothing by saying that I am afraid the airbag won’t deploy if the car loses control due to the steering wheel and electronics Yes, the vehicle has been to the dealership on diagnostic machine made aware of it and then sent me home in it on safely Yes, about three months ago. All warning lights come on and I lose power to the engine. It said something else was in operable. I got Time. Yesterday, pulling up to the dealership to get the recall airbag installed the lane keeping assistance was on. It came on parlay for weeks ago, and I haven’t been able to use the steering wheel cents. And yes, some of the other one and light pop on and off.

My car shifts from Drive into Park when I'm moving less than 5 miles an hour, so I've been trapped (momentarily) taking turns, in intersections, in traffic.

ON JUNE 16,2017, WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON FREEWAY, I TRIED TO SLOWED DOWN BUT IT TURNED OUT TO ACCELERATE SUDDENLY AT AROUND 85MPH, THE STEERING SYSTEM WAS MESSED UP AND I LOST CONTROL OF MY CAR , THE MORE I TRY TO BRAKE THE FASTER THE CAR CRASHED , SO IT CRASHED TO THE RIGHT SIDE AND ROLLED OVER DOWN TO THE DITCH , I CALLED 911 AND UNFORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO SIGNAL, I COULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR NOR WINDOW. THE SMOKE CAME OUT FROM INSIDE AND THE CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE , I COULD HAVE BEEN BURNT TO DEATH ALIVE WITHOUT PEOPLE PASSING BY , THEY USED A BIG ROCK TO BREAK THE WINDOW AND PULLED ME OUT OF THE CAR, TWO MINUTES LATER , THE CAR EXPLODED AND BURNT TO GROUND. THIS IS A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE , PEOPLE LIKE ME SPENT SO MUCH MONEY ON PURCHASING SUCH AN EXPENSIVE CAR WITH EXPECTATION TO BE SAFER IN DRIVING , BUT WHEN IT COMES TO CAR ACCIDENT , THERE ARE STILL SO MANY FLAWS WHICH COULD HAVE LED TO WRONGFUL DEATH , THIS MAKES ME FEEL FRUSTRATED AND I CALLED MB LONG BEACH AND BEVERLY HILLS , THEY JUST SHOWED INDIFFERENT AND IT'S NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS . I'M NOW VERY DISAPPOINTED AND I HOPE THERE WON'T BE ANY VICTIMS LIKE THIS . I WAS THE EXCEPTION AND I HOPE PEOPLE DRIVING MB GLK350 COULD BE LUCKY ENOUGH . MB OWES ME AN EXPLANATION AND INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT , MAYBE A RECALL IF NECESSARY FOR THE SAFETY OF CONSUMERS .

FOR LAST 2 MONTHS AND CONTINUING ON, THE 'ESP INOPERATIVE' MESSAGE POPS UP FREQUENTLY, EVEN WHEN THE WEATHER AND ROAD CONDITIONS ARE WARM, DRY AND CLEAR. WHEN IT OCCURS, THE CAR SEEMS TO LOOSE ACCELERATION (POWER) AND SLOWS DOWN (RATHER VERY QUICKLY ON ROADWAY SLOPING UP). PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL WOULD NOT SPEED UP THE CAR IMMEDIATELY; IT WOULD AFTER A WHILE. WHEN THIS OCCURS, I PULL OVER THE CAR AND TURN IT OFF & ON TO GET RID OF THE 'ESP INOPERATIVE' MESSAGE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON HIGH SPEED EXPRESSWAY AS WELL. IT FELT VERY DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE SINCE A TRUCK WAS APPROACHING CLOSELY BEHIND. I WAS FORTUNATE TO PULL OVER ON THE SHOULDER AND TURN OFF/ON THE CAR. THIS APPEARS TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH A FAULTY PART, SENSOR OR SOFTWARE THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY THE CAR MANUFACTURER. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW IN OCTOBER 2014 AND IT CURRENTLY HAS 5940 MILES. IT WAS SERVICED BY DEALERSHIP IN OCTOBER 2015 FOR 12-MONTH MAINTENANCE.

WHILE EXITING THE HWY THE CAR SLOW DOWN ON ITS OWN FROM ABOUT 60 TO AROUND 45 WITHOUT BREAKING. INOPERATIVE SEE OWNER'S MANUAL APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE CAR STARTED LOOSING POWER. WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE IT DID WOULD NOT SPEED UP PASS 50. AFTER COMING TO A TRAFFIC LIGHT I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AND IT WAS VERY SLOW EVEN WHEN THE PEDAL WAS ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONE ON THE ROAD AT THE TIME. I PUMP THE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES TRYING TO SPEED UP AND IT WOULD NOT GO PASS 55-60 DESPITE PRESSING THE GAS TO THE FLOOR. AFTER I GOT HOME I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ON THEN DRIVE IT AGAIN, ACCELERATION SEEMED TO COME BACK AND THE LIGHTS WERE NO LONGER ON THE DASHBOARD

MESSAGE DASHBOARD INDICATOR (MDI) READ "INOPERATIVE. SEE OPERATOR'S MANUAL" WITH OTHER MALFUNCTION LIGHTS INCLUDING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (CEL). TURNED CAR OFF AN ON AND ONLY THE CEL REMAINED. ALSO, THERE WAS A RECURRING TICKING NOISE THAT PRECEDED AFOREMENTIONED ISSUES THAT I ALSO REPORTED. DEALERSHIP REPAIRED LOOSE PIN IN ENGINE ECU (P045100) FOR THE CEL AND REPLACED A HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FOR THE TICKING NOISE. TICKING NOISE CONTINUED AND VEHICLE RETURNED TO DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY DETERMINED THE TICKING NOISE WAS RELATED TO THE DASH/RADIO/AC CONTROL PANEL/DASH TRIMMING MOVING AGAINST EACH OTHER BUT INDICATED THAT THIS WAS NORMAL (3778 MILES) . THE ISSUE RELATED TO THE MDI AND CEL OCCURRED AGAIN ON 01/25/2015. AS WITH THE INITIAL OCCURRENCE, THE CEL REMAINED ON AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO STALL WHILE I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHEN DRIVING A FEW HOURS LATER. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY. I NOTICED THAT THE CAR DROVE VERY SLUGGISHLY. FOR EXAMPLE, THE CAR WOULD HARDLY ACCELERATE REGARDLESS OF HOW FAR DOWN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AFTER ATTEMPTING TO CONTINUE FROM THE RED LIGHT. I RECALLED THIS HAPPENING WITH THE FIRST OCCURRENCE BUT THEN THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING I WAS DOING INCORRECTLY. THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE AND AS I DROVE APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES TO MY FINAL DESTINATION. THE ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON WHEN I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AT 10:40 AM (4017 MILES). OUT OF CONCERN, AND ADVICE FROM FAMILY MEMBERS GIVEN WHAT HAPPENED WHEN DRIVING AT A HIGH SPEED, I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL AUTO STORE TO SEE IF THEY COULD DETERMINE ANY FAULT CODES. A CODE OF P2138 WAS RETURNED. *TR
