My 2016 Mercedes GLE 450 AMG was running perfectly but stalled while I was making a left turn onto a major roadway and I was inches from a catastrophic accident. My car was towed to Mercedes Benz dealership and the technician informed me that the trunk seal was not sealing properly causing water to get in through the trunk and shorted out a fuel pump module. My trunk was not wet and only indication of water was when the rear compartment was lifted near the spare tire area so I was not aware of a possible leak. My car is mostly garage kept unless I am at work where it-€™s exposed to weather. It had been raining for several days in our area. After doing online research, it appears to be an existing problem for Mercedes owners. I-€™m concerned because I could have lost my life due to this issue and someone may not be so fortunate if the problem goes unresolved.

My sunroof exploded spontaneously while I was driving. There was no signs of damage to the glass. The glass flew back on road and the glass remaining on too appeared bowed.
