The contact owns a 2013 Mercedes-Benz C300. The contact stated while driving 75 MPH, she started to hear an abnormal sound. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact continued driving to her residence however while depressing the brake pedal the vehicle was pulling to the left. The contact continued driving to her residence. The contact towed the vehicle to the local dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the driver’s side rear axle and brake line was corroded and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 99,800.
On 09-12-16 I was involved in a rear end collision (35+ MPH). I was stopped in traffic (interstate highway). My vehicle was in eco mode and the vehicle's brake hold feature was activated, the brake was fully engaged/pressed, and hold was displayed on the forward instrument cluster. While stopped, another vehicle struck my vehicle from the rear. My vehicle's neck-pro retraint system activated and the hazards activated. No air bags were deployed. However, a few seconds after the accident, the brake hold feature deactivated and my vehicle began to roll into rush hour traffic. After actively pumping the brakes, to no avail, I initiated an offensive maneuver and swerved the vehicle off of the highway and onto unpaved side road/shoulder. My vehicle continued to roll forward and only stopped after I fully pressed/engaged the emergency brake. Is deactivating brake hold in a rear end collision a design flaw, or is this the intended function?
