The contact owns a 2016 Mercedes-Benz E350. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator randomly flashed. The on star communication system generated reports and called to inquire if there was a crash. The dealer (Mercedes-Benz of beverly hills, 9250 beverly blvd, beverly hills, ca 90210, (310) 659-2980) was unable to disconnect the on star communication system and stated that the control unit prematurely failed because of coffee that may have spilled in that area. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact was uncertain if the vehicle would be repaired. The VIN and failure mileage were not available...updated 10/25/17

My vehicle was moving thru intersection when another vehicle ran a red light. I hit the brakes, but still crashed into side of other vehicle at 20-25 mph. My vehicle had front end damage and was a total loss. I was wearing a seat belt, but it did not hold me to the seat. I hit the steering wheel with my chest and had to go to hospital for X-rays. Also, the steering wheel air bag did not deploy. The dealer said I was not going fast enough to deploy air bag. That is not true.
