Air Conditioning failure with low free on measurement. Apparently there was an A/C leak that created water damage in the front footwells, causing corrosion and potentially short-circuiting electric components, resulting in a fire hazard. The car was inspected by Mercedes Benz of Tampa and could not explain the source of water in the car, neither can I as the owner. The electronic components are being replaced at cost of the owner and insurance company. However, still concerned about the source of water in the footwells and potential re-occurence. This would put at risk not only my life as the driver but also the life of my toddler who is usually by me in the car. The failure of the A/C was followed by failure of lights, plantronics, central computer system which prompted me to go promptly to the dealership. Please help me investigate why my car is not under recall when it goes through the same symptoms described on expansion of recall numbers 21V‑288 and 19V‑587

I was driving and came to a stop sign. When I was getting ready to pull off my entire vehicle automatically went into park and shut off. I was almost rear ended by the vehicle behind me. People were blowing at me. I just restarted the vehicle after a few attempts it started and I drove off. Also my entire dash went black while I was driving. I also felt water on my feet why on the passenger side ( like a light mist).

Vehicle (72,000 miles) sent an email message that the "starter battery is critical". Drove it to Mercedes Benz Cary (NC). Original battery replaced ($538). Two days later, another "starter battery critical" message arrived. Vehicle wouldn't start. Mercedes Roadside sent a flatbed, jump started the vehicle, loaded it and took it to Mercedes Cary. I was required to authorize two hours of diagnostic works (+/- $450). Evidently, Mercedes Cary performed some software updates. Waiting for final invoice and software details.

When my wife got into vehicle first thing in the morning after it sitting all night in the garage, she smelled a foul smell. As she was driving, she opened all the windows to dissipate the smell and turned in the heater because wit was cold that morning. After about ten to twelve minutes of driving, she noticed the check engine light came on and the car started shaking. She pulled over and exited vehicle. As soon as she got out the vehicle started smoking and caught fire. The vehicle is a total loss.

While driving in a parking lot at a low speed my car turned off by itself I kept pushing on the accelerator but I realized the car is not moving, it had shot off by itself. I turned the car on manually and then worked. It was a terrifying situation. I kept thinking what if I was on the freeway and my car had turned off while the moving traffic was about 70 miles. I contacted mercedez bez and I was told it might have been a glich and that they could not duplicate it. I feel that is a very dangerous glich.
