2023 MERCEDES-BENZ Sprinter 3500

I was driving my van and out of nowhere it locked up and power steering malfunctioned. I was in NY at the time. Tried to get MB to help explain what was happening. Said they would send a Tech out. Found out they were going to send a tow truck and that was it. I had several pups on board and had to get them safe. So I figured out how to drive it with no power steering all the way back to Houston. While driving we got into some rain. Which for whatever reason the rain kicked the power steering on for just 5 or less seconds. This kept happening on and off while in wet road conditions. I was freaked out as the change made the steering go from impossible to beyond sensitive. We could have so easily flipped had I not been paying attention and driving at a slow speed. This also made all the safety features not accessible. No blind spot, cruise control, lane change or any of the important functions this van is equipped with. I would like to note that MB had to replace the engine due to a defect. Took 4 plus months. I have had issues ever since. Engine light came on all 4 of my trips. I know one that was the reason is VOX sensor. Fixed it and then happened next trip. Plus other sensors replaced. This van has been horrible! Bought it and was told they run up to 500k and these new engines they expect to see a million miles. I can’t even get it to 100k I called MB USA and started a complaint. They acted concerned and would contact me within 48 hours. Never to hear back from anyone. This was the same response when the engine malfunctioned. I was going to be given a loaner van and never heard or could connect with anyone.

Vehicle hood opened on its own while driving. We have video of the incident from front dash camera. Vehicle hood was not operated prior to 300 miles when employee start the day with pre-trip information. There were few people also verified that the hood was closed properly. While driving from Ontario, CA to Las Vegas , NV and driver returning from Las Vegas the vehicle midway to Ontario California, the hood suddenly opened and smashed the windshield, driver was successfully able to pull over as he was driving in right lane blindly.

Emergency brake assist, distance sensing and adaptive cruise control randomly and intermittently deactivate while driving. In a recent 8-hour highway trip this deactivation occurred 7 times, sometimes correcting itself with no driver intervention, and other times remaining disabled for hours and hundreds of driving miles. Durning motor off and restarting occasionally reset the issue, but many times it did not. When these systems disable, the van’s speed rapidly decreases and may cause other vehicles to hit the rear of the van, or cause van drivers to panic and/or lose control of the vehicle. Random and unpredictable electronic failures such as this are a definite hazard and need to be addressed by the manufacturer.

2018 Cx-9 GT that has experienced spider cracking in the upper right corner of the infotainment screen (the cracks are inside the screen). This started after the car sat at the dealers lot in cold temps while waiting for repairs to the engine Feb 2022 (mileage on car at that time as about 36K). Mazda had issues a Service Alert on 2/20/18 in regards to this issue for 2016 - 2018 CX-9's (along with other model of similar years). No mention to me by dealer (who i have taken car to for all service matters from 1st day of purchase). Mazda then issued a Warranty Extension Program letter dated 5/06/20 to Dealers, Service & Parts Manager that they would extend warranty coverage to fix this issue, but only for 2016 & 2017 CX-9 vehicles. Over time the cracking has gotten worse & is slowly growing in size. (some other owners have it cracking in different parts of screen, which renders the touch screen useless). Mazda should include 2018 in the Warranty Extension Program, so this issue can be resolved for all years affected.

Eversince i got the certified used 2014 toyota corolla s plus at a toyota dealer the radio touchscreens bottom right side is not working i need to go to the very corner of the screen and tap the screen multiple times or lucky if nails are longer sometimes it works and most of the times its not working.

This vehicle is extremely unsafe to drive. Vehicle is currently being rented. All four adjustable coil-overs’ springs have been heated in efforts to lower the vehicle. The person who performed this may not have understood that the car height could have been adjusted without heat. I have supporting documentation in form of photos and video informing the current renter who still drives the vehicle as of today. It is imperative that my information is not forwarded to the current owner or driver as there are criminal charges being brought against the renter for multiple counts of 3rd degree felony which include defrauding victims out of millions of dollars. My name along with this statement should be protected from the vehicle owner and current driver. The manufacturer may have my information but should also be informed to keep my information private for the sake of my safety. Thank you.
