2014 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class owner complaints

I just had 2 tires replaced and on the way home I hit a pothole both front air shocks failed. I filed a claim and the insurance company won’t pay out either. Normal wear and tear does not make both air shocks failed.

Front passenger assembly strut went out suddenly while driving almost caused an accident.No warning signs just gave out. Vehicle is in the shop but cannot be repaired because the part is out of stock and no ETA on when vendor will restock them.

the car started showing a low coolant message around 2017 about twice a year. I felt it was too often the message would come up. I would too off coolant each time to address it without seeing any leaks ever under the car. then 2018 thru 2019 the message would appear about 3 or 4.times per year. had it checked by Mercedes service and they advised nothing was leaking from the car and found no codes indicating urgency in repair to address. my car started failing to turnover after cranking and in July 2021 it failed to turnover at all ever again. took it to the factory sego r dealer and they examined the car for repair from 7/2021 to 12/2021 when they gave it back to me. after getting me to authorize $8,000 in repair cost to get it to turnover, and must needless repair, they advised it need

I recently purchased a vehicle from the name dealership online. The vehicle power steering malfunctions within approx. 20 mins after vehicle is driven rendering the vehicle unsafe for operation. I was told by the seller and dealership... Text message saved, that they stand behind their products and that the vehicle being sold online had no problems and pass all required used car inspections, carfax to be in good working order. I reside in ms, searched online some time prior to buying. I read the dealership reviews which were satisfactory until I later, after I paid, found some concerning remarks after the transaction but prior to delivery. I was not able to inspect the vehicle, test drive or given a reason satisfaction guarantee after reception. I did not receive items as described but was

have a 2014 cls-550 with extensive subframe rust. It is currently sitting at the dealership for $3,158 in repairs for a vehicle that is less than 10 years old. There needs to be a recall on the subframe for the c, cls, e, and like models. This is not the Mercedes’-Benz quality I expected. After extensive research, members all over the globe are experiencing the same issue. This isn’t user error. It’s manufacturer error. You need to make this right with your customers. Period. I have attached photos of my subframe. I’m severely disappointed with having to perform major maintenance on a vehicle with only 82k miles. This needs to be a recall. I cannot stress this enough. Stand by your product. You’re more than welcome to contact me. My vehicle will be in the shop for over a week and no loaner

While vehicle was stationary in garage, we began noticing a profuse gas/fuel smell. It became increasingly strong in and out of the vehicle. Approximately 3 days after smell was noticed, I contacted the local Mercedes benz dealership to advise of the issue. I also did some research online, and discovered that previous years specifically; 2006-2011 cls class vehicles exhibited the same defect which was addressed with the NHTSA and to which mb-usa agreed to extend the warranty for "covered fuel tank components" from the original 4 years to 15 years. The dealership diagnosed the left side sender unit to be cracked and leaking fuel, which is one of the covered components. However, they advised that my car was not covered due to the age of the vehicle (I.e. It being newer). As such, I had to pa

On march 8 2020 I was driving my 2014 Mercedes benz cls550 straight on the freeway when my sunroof exploded, glass shattering everywhere. Glass hit my face and went down my back and cut my hands. I didn't crash the car nor was any other damage done than the sunroof. I pulled over when it was safe to inspect the vehicle and no object had came through the sunroof. The front of the sunroof was indented inward and glass was angled outward as if it had exploded from the inside out. I researched online to find that there was a recall for 760,000 Mercedes benz years 2001-2011 for defective sunroof. My car being a 2014, falls out of that demographic. There is a current class action lawsuit for the newer makes and models of Mercedes for the exact same issue, "exploding sunroof." I took my car into

Tl* the contact owned a 2014 Mercedes-benz cls550. While driving less than 20 MPH, the contact's vehicle was struck on the front driver's side fender by another vehicle. The air bag did not deploy. The contact sustained brain, neck, and lower back injuries that required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to the insurance lot and deemed destroyed. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 62,000.

After the Mercedes dealer replaced the corroded rear sub frame under the 20 year extended warranty, my brake line failed so I took it back & found out that the brake lines were corroded. I paid nothing for the subframe since it was under the warranty but I ended up paying $4114 to replace the corroded brake lines. The dealer should have checked for corrosion while the subframe was out of the car, especially since this is a known issue. The parts were only $380 and $3800+ was labor. My brakes completely failed while driving on Christmas Eve. I took the car to the dealership on 12/26/25 and they told me that the car was unsafe to drive & I had to leave it. This should be covered by Mercedes under the rest subframe warranty since from what I’ve read, is a related issue. This was extremely dan
