The contact owns a 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 35 MPH, the brake was applied unexpectedly without the contact depressing the brake pedal.

The driver's seat belt tightened, and she sustained a bruise on her left arm and soreness on her chest. Medical attention was required. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where they were not able to replicate the failure.

The contact sustained head and neck injuries, and medical attention was required. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the failure was not able to be replicated. The manufacturer was notified of both failures and advised that the automatic tailgate closing feature could be removed from the vehicle. The failure mileage was 31,153
