The automatic trunk lid started to close and hit my head while I was loading groceries into the trunk. It also started to close and hit my wife in the head when she was unloading the groceries about 15 minutes later. This situation was not reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. There was no notice or warning of pending failure. There appeared to be no visible injury to either person except for a short pain in the head.

Dear friends, I have received a safety recall message and contacted to my car dealership. Despite I called few times to different Mercedes my dealership (Mercedes DTLA, Mercedes Corporate office) the recall issue has not been fixed. It has been 3 months since I am calling them and requesting to fix the recall as I am psychologically uncomfortable when I have recalls in my car. Unfortunately, recall on my car has not been fixed and they are not able to give me any answer when this issue will be fixed. Kind regards, [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
