What owners wrote
I was driving my car was sputtering or trying to shut off while I press the gas and I let go of the gas and it catches and stayed on. I took it to the dealership and they said they found nothing wrong. May 3rd around 12pm im driving on the freeway and as im getting on the express lane going 60 it dies and I couldn't move the steering wheel and I slammed into a guardrail.
On 11/1/14 I filed a complaint about safety issues with my new 2015 mercedes, c300 (odi # 10664470) that pertained to debris entering the engine compartment from the top, near the windshield, and other issues with the command "radio", "touch pad" & keyless entry locking systems. I understand these systems are not proprietary to mercedes and so are in many other luxury models. I've rec'd no feedback from the daimler corp or from your office.
