Sudden spontaneous acceleration of motor vehicle I am the son of the owners of the mercedes in question. in february 2010, my mother experienced an accident while driving this vehicle. she was pulling up to a parking space. by her report, the car spontaneously accelerated, jumping the concrete barrier and ending up with front tires in an adjacent planter. she stated that she applied her brakes while the car was accelerating, but this did not appear to slow the vehicle. a thorough investigation was launched, both by the local dealership and eventually by a mercedes benz USA representative as well. though I don't know the exact conclusions, I believe that they attributed the accident to driver error by stepping on the incorrect pedal. yesterday, sept. 29, 2011, I drove the vehicle in question for the first time since the accident. this was a round-trip journey on I-8 from pacific beach to kensington, about 20 miles round trip. shortly into the trip, I noticed the car failed to decelerate after I removed my foot from the accelerator pedal. I stepped on the brake, and the car slowed appropriately. this happened a total of six times during my outbound journey; in two of the six instances, not only did the car not decelerate, but actually accelerated above its current speed until I applied the brakes. two additional episodes happened upon my return trip. during the first, in an effort to obtain a more complete picture after the problem spontaneously returned.

The inside rear view mirror in my 1999 mercedes-benz SLK 230 (R170 model) IS an electro chromic self-dimming mirror that has no manual backup. The mirror contained a fluid which leaked out causing the self-dimming mirror to fail to provide dimming against rear approaching headlights resulting in the driver to either be blinded or to have to turn the mirror away which greatly eliminates rear view capability in the interior. There are many documented cases of these mirrors failing in various makes and models as a result of usually from the internal fluid leaking. *Tr

The 2000 slk230 I purchased new in 2000 has 5,000 miles on it. mint-garage stored condition. I have requested numerous times,assistance with both side door problems which may lead to unwarranted air bag release in the near future. the defect appears to have been corrected in 2001 by mercedes benz as the newer models have a "one piece interior door panel, vs the "two piece" interior door panels in the 2000 models. I have friends with the same year and model having the same issue. both driver and passenger side interior door panels have broken loose from the door due to the defective design of two piece with all pressure to close the doors, pulling the two piece panel design away from the actual doors. mercedes benz-corporate and their local dealers refuse to assist with the issue. I am confident that in the near future, air bag deployment IS inevitable from both sides due to the defect in design. hopefully with no injury! *Tr

Cars engine shuts off suddenly without warning. Most instances occurred while car was in motion. The electronics stayed on but no engine operation at all. Sometimes the vehicle would restart with a slight turn to the left and then right or turning off all the way and restarting. About a third of the time the car would not restart for 5 to 45 minutes with one occasion lasting over 2 hours. Most recently the engine shut off 4 times on a 90 mile trip. The last of the four failures occurred as I was parking and would not restart until later. After taking the car to 2 different dealerships and neither finding a problem, the crankshaft sensor was replaced on speculation that it could be a result of a similar failure on other mercedes benz engines.

I have a 2000 mercedes slk230 sport, copper designo edition. I have had many electrical problems with this car in the year I have had it. the back brake light was melted and burned a couple of months ago and I received a recall letter from that. I had the car running for about 1 min. And 30 seconds down the road when I began to smell something that smelled like plastic burning, I thought for sure it couldn't be my car and was coming from outside. I had the heat on notch number 2 but nothing was coming out. all of a sudden the heat came on then just cut off again, I thought that was odd. the smell began to get worse. so I proceeded to pull into a convenient store parking lot. as I pulled in I noticed smoke spiraling out of the windshield vents, so now I am concerned because smoke IS filling up the cabin. I immediately shut the car off and popped the hood. smoke was pouring out from just underneath the windshield, I had no idea what was happening. I ran inside the store to get possibly some water or such for the car. I looked out the window of the store and my car had 6 foot flames rushing out the front right under the windshield. the store manager and I ran out and put the fire out with a fire extinguisher, and the fire dept. Came and new york state police. the fireman drenched it with water and pretty much flooded the inside of the car. the hole behind the fire wall was quite big with the wire harness being burnt to a crisp. the fireman said it looked like the heater blower had a short the way it was all melted. I have heard tons of complaints on this car about electrical shorts, a few complaints even was what happened to my car, but they pulled the heater fuse just in time to prevent fire. What if a parent left an infant in there for a minute while they ran in to pay for something , next thing you know the passengers seat IS in flames, I bet someone would do something about this then!! thank you, josh *tr

Mercedes-benz USA, llc sent a safety recall # 2006-080005. I made an appt at mercedes benz at kearny mesa, san diego, the service writer (alfonso) said that they will only replace the tail brake light if it fails, but the recall clearly states that due to the high heat created by the tail brake light the base of the lamp socket can be subject to thermal deformation over time, thus when you push the brake pedal the tail brake light will not work because there IS no electrical contact. the recall also mentioned that the replacement material IS more heat resistant material but the service writer said that the replacement material IS the same as what I have already in the car, which IS false. *jb

We own a 2000 mercedes SLK 230. the light, that warns of a lamp failure somewhere on the vehicle, kept coming on. it would not stay on all the time however, and we could not find which lamp was malfunctioning. we called the dealer, mercedes-benz of wilsonville, (wilsonville oregon - 503-454-5000) and were told to bring the vehicle in when the warning lamp came on and stayed on. when it finally did, a couple of months later, we took the vehicle in to the dealer. the service was performed on august 16TH 2004. the service department inspected the vehicle and told us that the tail lamp bulbs in both tail lamps were arching and had melted the tail lamp assembly. both tail lamp assemblies had to be replaced at a cost of $360.00. the service invoice states "28636 bulb failure mil 852 inspected bulb found evidence of arching between socket and assembly 852 r/r both tail lamp assemblys/82-2310. I spoke with the service advisor, alex garcia. he told me that they had seen this same problem on other mercedes vehicles. I asked him if a recall had been initiated because it seemed to me that this was a condition that could cause a fire in the rear of the vehicle, near the gas tank. he told me that no recall had been issued. I requested the old parts and was assured by mr. Garcia that I could have them. he told me he would leave them with the sales department so that I could pick them up that weekend. however when I called the dealership on saturday the 21ST the parts were not there. I will call the dealership on monday and hope to have the parts returned to me. I believe that this condition IS a fire hazard and should be corrected. I suspect that failures in other vehicles were covered by warranty and thus not reported. nonetheless I believe it should be noted. *jb

- 11007974Complaint Headlamps leaking or fogged Cause The fogging of the headlamp is a natural phenomenon which can occur under certain climatic conditions. In contrast to a leaky headlamp, physical fogging does not result in a technical impairment of the headlamp. A leak test must be performed to determine if physical fogging exists or if the headlamp is leaky. Remedy In advance, observe LI82.10-P-078301 "Headlamps or Front Fog Lamps Leaking or Fogged". 1. Prepare headlamp/check for external damage: For headlamps with a closed system 1. Check the headlamps for any external damage and check also for correct seating of the Gore-diaphragm/correct latching of the cover caps. 2. If the headlamp exhibits any external damage, replace the headlamp. For headlamps with an open system 1. Check the headlamps for any external damage and seal off the vent then make sure the cover caps are latched correctly into place. 2. If the headlamp exhibits any external damage, replace the headlamp. Note: A headlamp with external damage is not a warranty or goodwill case. 2. Leak test of headlamp with overpressure: Connect test adapter to pressure tester. (Figure 1) Check test adapter for leak tightness. To do so, connect plug and coupling (picture 2) and apply a maximum overpressure of 30 mbar. The pressure must remain constant. If the pressure does not remain constant, use a new adapter. Seal all the outlet openings using sealing compound and the given diaphragm with the plunger (picture 3). (Picture 4) Make allowance for the different headlamp variants here (there are different outlet openings). Check if the headlamp needs to be removed to gain access to the diagnostic socket on the headlamp housing. Plug the adapter onto the diagnostic socket on the headlamp housing. (Picture 5). Apply a maximum of 30 mbar overpressure to the headlamp housing. Note: If the maximum overpressure of 50 mbar is exceeded the headlamp seal will be damaged. If a pressure drop of less than 10 mbar is measured within 30 seconds, the headlamp is not leaky and the problem is down to natural physical fogging. If a pressure drop of more than 10 mbar is measured within 30 seconds, the headlamp is leaky. Note: The leaky position can be localized with the aid of soap suds. Replace any leaky headlamps. Note: Desiccant packs can be installed for headlamps that are not leaky. See: LI82.10-P-064766 Fogged headlamp, desiccant pack installed - open ventilation system LI82.10-P-078304 Fogged headlamp, desiccant pack installed - closed ventilation system
- 11007753Complaint Headlamp or front fog lamp leaky or fogged Cause Fogging of the headlamps is a natural phenomenon, which can occur under certain climatic conditions. It does not lead to any technical impairment of the headlamp. Headlamps comply with all applicable standards. If a pressure compensation diaphragm is fitted in the housing cover, then the lamp unit is a "closed system". Remedy Headlamp: Remedy 1 Clearing fogged/condensed LED headlamps and LED rear lamps: 1. Drive vehicle into workshop (temperature higher than +18 C/+64.4 F) and connect the exhaust extraction. Note: Do not perform an engine wash before the defogging test. 2. Switch off the engine and connect battery support via a charger. 3. Open the hood or trunk. 4. Switch on the lights. 5. Leave the vehicle in this state for 60 minutes. 6. Check for formation of condensation, a significant reduction in the formation of condensation must be clearly recognizable (thawing progress). Clearing fogged/condensed halogen/xenon headlamps: 1. Drive the vehicle into the workshop (temperature higher than +18 C/+64.4F). Note: Do not perform an engine wash before the defogging test. 2. Switch off the engine. 3. Open the hood. 4. Switch off the lights. 5. Leave the vehicle in this state for 60 minutes. 6. Check for formation of condensation, a significant reduction in the formation of condensation must be clearly recognizable (thawing progress). Note: If there is no visible reduction in the formation of condensation, check the headlamp for a defect. (See Remedy 2) It is not physically possible to defog the headlamps completely. Fogging does not impair the operation or the service life of the headlamp. Remedy 2 A Damaged headlamp can be identified as follows: 1. Check the headlamp for external damage and that the cover caps and the diaphragm are correctly seated. 2. Check the electrical connectors of the plugs and pins. 3. Check for leak tightness in accordance with LI82.10-P-078307. The test can only be conducted on headlamps. 4. If the headlamp or the rear lamp has any external damage, replace the component part in accordance with the WIS instructions. Note: External damage to the headlamp/rear lamp or faulty seating of the cover caps does not present a warranty or goodwill case. With headlamps, it is possible to install desiccant packs if the problem occurs repeatedly. Open ventilation system: LI82.10-P-064766. Closed ventilation system LI82.10-P-078304
- 11005294Complaint Rear lamps fogged up/not leaktight. Cause Fogging of the rear lamps is a natural phenomenon, which can occur under certain climatic conditions. This does not lead to any technical impairment of the rear lamps. Remedy Rear lamp: Remedy 1: Clearing fogged/condensed rear lamps: 1. Drive the vehicle into the workshop (temperature higher than +18 C/+64.4 F) Note: Do not wash the vehicle or subject it to high-pressure cleaning before the defogging test. 2. Switch off the engine and connect battery support via a charger. 3. Open the trunk. 4. Switch on the exterior lighting. 5. Leave the vehicle in this state for 60 minutes. 6. Check for formation of condensation -> a significant reduction in the formation of condensation must be clearly recognizable (defogging progress).
