Rear powered tailgate closes by itself. There is no warning. It closes VERY rapidly. This hit me in the head, but I am mostly concerned with others, such as elderly people and children. It could easily cause a concussion, or worse. I have contacted MBUSA advocacy at 1-800-222-0100 three times. I was told all three times that I would be contacted back within 24-48 hours (business days) regarding this safety issue. It has now been two weeks, and I have not received anything such as a returned phone call, email, etc. The vehicle is at my residence and available for any inspection or test, etc. I also have video of this problem. Again, the rear powered tailgate closes by itself, without warning. It closes VERY rapidly with force far greater than gravity alone.

Light application of the brakes resulted in abrupt full stop and left car in park. Could not get car to shift out of park even when applying brake as indicated in dashboard message. Other screen message indicated "danger of rolling" and displayed picture of car with an arrow above it. No other warning lights. Dealer replaced electronic ignition and provided new keys.
