I am experiencing issues with my active curve system, that other mb models of the same year and class are experiencing. Some of the 2016 gle's have been recalled for this particular issue, but my vehicle/VIN has not been included in the recall. I receive this error message when turning a curve. My vehicle is under warranty and mb will not pay for this with my cpo warranty. The dealership has quoted me $6984 to fix the issue. Please investigate this matter because I think that my vehicle/VIN should have been included with the current recall campaign number 18V27200. My active curve system has been leaking oil. I am concerned as this is a fire hazard and safety issue. I can smell the oil burning as well as see it foaming from the fluid canister.

Car stalled on the highway then towed to the dealership. Dealership stated the fuel line was flooded with water. The service manager stated that I let the trunk open in the rain, but I did no such thing. There was also no water in the trunk of the car. This seems to be a defect when the vehicle is exposed to normal rainy conditions. There is no way water should be able to get to the fuel line because it should be insulated against moisture. Corporate thought there was flooding in the area, but there is no flooding in dallas, Texas. Mb conducts quality testing in different climates so I do no see why they would not consider it to be a product defect. Someone can potentially die from the car stalling on the highway. This is something that should not be overlooked by mb.

Eco start/stop feature is unsafe. Driver could misinterpret when vehicle is in eco stop mode vs off in park. This could cause the vehicle to start and lurch forward when the driver takes their foot off the brake when they assume it is off in park. Unsafe.
