Vehicle is 9 years old, with 73000 miles. Dealer Service has advised that the rear subframe and brake lines are rusting and need to be replaced as a safety issue. Cost quoted was $8800. Mercedes agreed to pick up the cost of the parts and the dealer offered to split the installation cost, bringing my total down to $3150. On-line research reveals this is a common problem across several product lines and has been an issue for 20+ years. Failure at this point could lead to uncontrolled movement of the the rear suspension structure, the rear suspension members, wheels, and electronic sensors in the ABS causing loss of control and brake failure.

Intermittently, while driving several of the electrical systems will fail including the lane keep assist and abs. When this happens, it also causes the instrument cluster to rapidly change speeds, making the vehicle unsafe to operate as the driver is unable to tell what speed they are going, which can become extremely hazardous since this happens at random. The issue has been diagnosed to be a faulty Radar Sensor in the rear bumper, however the specific part has been on backorder since February 2022 and Mercedes-Benz has shown no signs of urgency with resolving this issue. I have a video of the ongoing hazard that I can submit as well, it's just too large to attach to this form.

Driving the car at 45 MPH and the display messages come on that stated, "pre safe functions limited, inoperative" in addition, the esp and ABS warning lights illuminated. The vehicle loses power and has very limited acceleration. It has occurred twice, once on city road and once on highway at 55 MPH. Shutting and restarting the car eliminates the problem for the time being. If this happens again and I am unable to pull over safely, it will be a life-threatening emergency. I will be rear-ended at high speeds by traffic behind me. After the first incident, I took it to dealer and they adjusted computer. The same exact thing happened just 4 days later. This has the potential to cause massive fatalities similar to those in the gm debacle. I see this has also been reported as a problem in the 2014 cla 250 models.
