Vehicle was going on the left most lane of the I580 eastbound at adaptive cruise at 65mph. Both steering and speed was under control by the the adaptiv E cruise feature. I was having my hand on the steering and foot on the brake. All of sudden car took left turn on its own and crashed into side concrete rail followed by a quick turn and came back to the halt in the middle of the 2nd highway lane. Things happened so quickly that I could not even realize what happened to the adaptive cruise which lead to this sudden turn. I would like you or NHTSA to investigate the matter. I am 7 month pregnent and in significant pain caused by this accident. I am not able to take any hard drugs because of my pregnancy. It has been a big trauma for me at this point of my pregnancy. It will be going to be very tough for me from now to trust on the features advertised and sold to us by Mercedes. We have been in touch with Mercedes for over a month. But they are not showing any proactiveness to look into the matter. They are intentionally delaying the process hoping we will give up sooner than later. I would request NHTSA to intervene and take severe steps towards Mercedes. Mrs mary elizabeth from Mercedes has been confusing about the process and has no clue about what is next. She is not willing to provide any information and after wasting 20 days she is blaming insurance company did not provide permission. They never bother to call me and update me about process and just formally send an email with half baked information.

A recall was issued on my vehicle 4 months ago and the dealer and manufacturer are still stating that they do not have the part to properly repair the vehicle. Their notice states that there is a concern that overheating of the starting current limiter could cause surrounding components to melt & potentially create the risk of fire. I need this issue fixed by the manufacturer & 4 months is ample time for them to have the repair part available.

I was stopped at a red light on a major three lane each direction highway in Suburban il, when I started to go after the light change the car stuttered and turned off. It was rendered completely inoperable. The car would not shift into neutral. The radio and windows worked, but no other electrical components worked (e.g. door lock/unlock).
I purchased my new vehicle Dec 2015. I have had it in the shop 2 times for an estimated time of 3 to 4 weeks. 1st my steering mechanism locked up and wouldn't allow me to move my steerging wheel up or down. In or out. Then, at the same time, my car was shifting erratically. It would feel like it was in 5th gear, and then immediately drop to 1st gear. They couldn't find anything when they had this vehicle and they had it for about 5 days. Now, my engine blew. They stated via text message that the cam shaft broke and put a large hole in my engine block. Thank god it didn't come thru the front of the car and strike me. * was driving my car, when I suddenly hear a loud bang, and my car immediately started smoking from the engine, and I could see I was loosing oil from my rear view mirror. I was about a block from my house. I couldn't excel very fast, but made it. It felt like the engine was on fire, so I pulled into my house by my hose, to hose the fire down. I didn't see a fire, just a lot of black smoke, so I pulled vehicle out in street so it wouldn't leak oil in my driveway. I contacted Mercedes to report the problem. I requested a new vehicle, which they are refusing.
Message: Date: 06/07/2016: Recently, I purchased a 2016 Mercedes Glc300 and was very unhappy with the fact that the eco mode is the default and it has to be turned off manually each time you start the engine. I called Mercedes and they said there is no way to turn it off completely. I believe this presents a high risk for stalls that could possibly result in severe bodily harm and even death. When the car is stopped the engine turns off and will start if one presses the gas pedal. For example; when turning left at an intersection it is very uncomfortable to know that the engine is turned off as you start to press the gas pedal--while a large truck is coming very fast. One just hopes that there is no delay or pause when you press the gas pedal. I firmly believe that this eco always on (except when you remember to press a button to turn it off) presents the potential for a very serious accident. Mercedes should provide an option that will allow this eco mode to be set to always off. Thank you!

Three weeks after buying the Glc300 4matic the engine misfires, got stranded in ac New Jersey, the car was at the dealer for 3 weeks, they replaced all fuel injector/coils and it kept happening, then the fuel module got replaced and it ran fine for 4 weeks and the problem came back, got stranded in boston, the car was at the dealer for 2 weeks, this time they replaced the engine control unit (today 4-22-16), I'm picking it up tomorrow. I own the car for 12 weeks and only been able to drive it 7 weeks, so disappointed in Mercedes Benz.
Starter motor failure in "eco start" mode at intersection. Was in an intersection when car stalled and threw a code. Starter motor had to be replaced in full. Vehicle had less than 1,000 miles on it and was 3 weeks old at the time of the event.
