MERCEDES BENZ E CLASS 2000 Service Brakes, Hydraulic Foundation Components Report #730632

MERCEDES BENZ E CLASS 2000 car safety problem was reported on Sept 06, 2000.MERCEDES BENZ E CLASS 2000, manufactured by MERCEDES-BENZ USA, LLC. had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS . THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH "BRAKE ASSIST SYSTEM" WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO HELP TO ENGAGE THE BRAKE PEDAL FASTER WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED DURING A PANICK STOP. DURING A PANIC STOP, IN MY CASE AT 10 MPH, WHEN I HIT THE BREAKS, THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT HARD AS A ROCK AND REFUSED TO TRAVEL DOWN, EXHIBITING THE SO CALLED "HYDRAULIC RESISTANCE" WITH THE THE VEHICLE CONTINUING TO MOVE AND COLLIDING WITH THE VEHICLE IN THE FRONT. I TOOK MY E320 TO AN AUTHORIZED LOCAL MBZ DEALER, AUTOBAHN MOTORS IN BELMONT-CA, WITHIN TWO HOURS OF THE ACCIDENT FOR A CHECK OF THE BRAKES. THE DEALER REPORTED THE BRAKES OPERATE NORMALLY AND NO PROBLEMS WERE DETECTED ON THEM. THE PROBLEM IS THAT WE ALSO OWN A 1999 MBZ ML 320, AN SUV, WHICH BRAKES AND STOPS FLAWLESSLY WITH NO SIGN OF HARDENING IN THE BRAKE PEDAL. IF ANYTHING OUR 2000 E320 MUST HAVE BETTER BRAKES AND NO SIGN OF RESISTANCE, YET IT DOES NOT. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT WHEN THE BRAKES ON THE 2000 E320 ARE APPLIED NORMALLY, THEY OPERATE FLAWLESSLY WITH EXCELLENT GRIP, YET IN PANICK STOP THE BRAKES FAIL TO OPERATE PROPERLY..Vehicle was involved in a crash. 0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WDBJF65J3YB.

I PURCHASED A USED 2000 MERCEDES E320 ON NEAR THE END OF AUGUST 2004. APPROXIMATLY 45 DAYS LATER I NOTICED A NOISE COMING FROM THE DASHBOARD AREA WHEN MAKING A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN AT LOW SPEED. IT COULD BE DESCRIBED AS A "RUBBER ON RUBBER" SQUEAKING NOISE. IT HAS SLOWLY GOTTEN LOUDER OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS. SEARCHING THE INTERNET I HAVE FOUND THAT OTHERS HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR MERCEDES AROUND THIS YEAR. SINCE I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR, I SUSPECT IT COULD HAVE BEEN SOMETHING THAT WAS "QUIETED DOWN" BY APPLYING A LUBRICANT. I HAVE NO WAY TO PROVE THAT. OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET CLAIM THE DEALER REPLACED THE STEERING RACK TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THAT WOULD BE A COST OF APPROXIMATLY $2000. THIS IS APPEARING TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MERCEDES-BENZ, POSSIBLY JUST A FEW MODELS AND YEARS, AND SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY THEM. THE AUTOMOBILE I PURCHASED CAME OFF THE MERCEDES LEASE PROGRAM.*AK.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WDBJF65J1YB. Mercedes Benz E Class 2000 problem was reported in ORLANDO, FL.

MERCEDES BENZ E CLASS 2000 Structure Frame And Members Report #10162902

MERCEDES BENZ E CLASS 2000 car safety problem was reported on Mar 05, 2006.MERCEDES BENZ E CLASS 2000, manufactured by MERCEDES-BENZ USA, LLC. had a problem with STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS . 2000 MERCEDES BENZ E320. WITH 118,000 MILES, HAVING BEEN WELL-MAINTAINED, AND NEVER IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT, THE FRONT SUBFRAME OF THE CAR BROKE ALL THE WAY THROUGH, NEAR THE UPPER CONTROL ARM. THE FRONT END IMMEDIATELY MADE LOUD SCRAPING NOISES. UPON TAKING IT TO A DEALER, WE WERE TOLD IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. WE WERE FIRST GIVEN AN ESTIMATE OF $9500 FOR THE REPAIR, AND TOLD IT WOULD TAKE FIVE WEEKS TO GET A REPLACEMENT SUBFRAME. THE MECHANIC WOULD NOT EXPRESS AN OPINION AS TO WHETHER IT WAS DEFECTIVE, ONLY THAT IT WAS VERY RUSTY, AND THAT IT WAS BROKEN. WE CONTACTED M-B USA. THEY OPENED A CASE, SENT OUT AN INVESTIGATOR. M-B USA WOULD NOT ADMIT THAT THE PREMATURE RUST, AND FAILURE, OF THAT SUBFRAME WAS THE RESULT OF A FACTORY DEFECT, BUT THEY AGREED TO PAY $3000 OUT OF THE FINAL PRICE QUOTE OF $7500. THEY MADE IT CLEAR THAT, IF WE EXPECTED TO GET MORE, WE WOULD HAVE TO SUE THEM. TO RECEIVE THE $3000, WE HAD TO SIGN A RELEASE. WE THEN FILED AN INSURANCE CLAIM WITH AAA, ON THE THEORY THAT THE DAMAGE MIGHT HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY SOME SORT OF ROAD INCIDENT (POTHOLE, ETC). HOWEVER, THE INSURANCE INVESTIGATOR INSPECTED THE CAR (AND TOOK PHOTOGRAPHS), AND THEN DENIED THE CLAIM, NOTING EXTENSIVE RUST THROUGHOUT THE UNDERBODY OF THE CAR, AND ON THE FRONT AND REAR SUBFRAME COMPONENTS. MY LATER RESEARCH DISCOVERED, MERCEDES-BENZ USED A TYPE OF STEEL ON STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS OF THEIR CARS CALLED HSLA (HIGH STRENGTH, LOW ALLOY). THEY USED THIS HSLA STEEL OSTENSIBLY BECAUSE OF ITS GREATER STRENGTH, AND CRASH RESISTANCE. IN THEORY, HSLA STEEL SHOULD HAVE HIGHER-THAN-NORMAL CORROSION RESISTANCE, SO IT'S MY BELIEF THAT MERCEDES-BENZ EITHER GOT BAD BATCHES OF THIS HSLA STEEL, OR THEY SUBSTITUTED AN INFERIOR GRADE OF STEEL. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY CARS WERE PRODUCED HAVING THIS PROBLEM, BUT IT WORRIES ME. PEOPLE MAY BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD RIGHT NOW, UNAWARE THAT IMPORTANT STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS OF THEIR CARS MAY BE READY TO FAIL. *NM .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 118890 miles.

MERCEDES BENZ E CLASS 2000 car safety problem was reported on Jan 28, 2005.MERCEDES BENZ E CLASS 2000, manufactured by MERCEDES-BENZ USA, LLC. had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT PANEL . MY 2000 MERCEDES E320 HAS INOPERABLE DISPLAYS FOR THE GEAR, TEMPERATURE, AND TIME. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS BECAUSE THIS IS MY WIFE'S VEHICLE. WITH THE DISPLAY BEING DEFECTIVE, IT IS POSSIBLE FOR AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN THE WRONG GEAR BECAUSE THERE IS NO VISUAL VERIFICATION AT EYE LEVEL, AS IS REQUIRED ON ALL CARS. I HAVE EVEN BEEN IN THE CAR WITH HER AND WITNESSED HER PUTTING THE CAR IN THE WRONG GEAR BECAUSE SHE WASN'T ABLE TO SEE THE GEAR WITHOUT LOOKING DOWN AT THE CENTER CONSOLE. MERCEDES IS AWARE OF THIS DESIGN DEFECT IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, BUT REFUSES TO REPAIR IT WITHOUT CHARGING THE CUSTOMER. THIS DEFECT HS BEEN KNOWN FOR YEARS AND THEY EVEN CONTINUED TO INSTALL THEM AFTER CUSTOMERS REPORTED THE DEFECT TO THEM BY THE HUNDREDS. I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE PAID FOR BY MERCEDES AS THEY ARE AWARE THAT IT IS A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. ALL CARS THAT I HAVE DRIVEN HAVE THE GEAR CLEARLY DISPLAYED ON OR NEAR THE STEERING COLUMN. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS A FEDERAL REQUIREMENT FOR THIS FUNCTION TO WORK AT ALL TIMES.

I HAVE JUST RECENTLY (TWO DAYS AGO) HAD MY PASSENGER SIDE BULB HOUSING MELT AWAY. DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THAT BEEN HAPPENING. I BELIEVE I AM LUCKY THAT THE CAR HAS NOT CAUGHT ON FIRE AS OF YET WITH ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE ONLY GOOD NEWS I HAVE ABOUT THESE CONSTANT PROBLEMS IS, THE BODY REPAIR COMPANY FOR MERCEDES-BENZ OF SOUTH ATLANTA (GA), WILL SEE ME ON MONDAY TO SEE IF THEY CAN REPLACE THE HEADLAMPS HOUSING, PROVIDED THEY HAVE ONE IN STOCK. SO, "WISH ME LUCK" AND PRAY FOR MERCEDES TO DO THE RIGHT THING BEFORE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS TO ONE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS...... *TR.Mercedes Benz E Class 2000 problem was reported in ATLANTA, GA.
