Do you have a Mercedes-Benz lemon?

If you think you may have a Mercedes lemon on your hands, your vehicle will have to meet a set of strict criteria in order to be deemed a lemon under Mercedes lemon law. We have years of experience in pursuing Mercedes-Benz lemon law claims and have brought successful cases against multiple Mercedes models, including the Maybach, S-Class Sedan, E-Class Sedan, E-Class Wagon, and others. If you’re experiencing problems with your new or used Mercedes that are impacting the safety or value of your car, it may qualify as a lemon. Especially if your vehicle is still under warranty. This means you may be entitled to a Mercedes lemon law buyback or cash settlement.

Common Mercedes-Benz Defects

If you think you have a Mercedes-Benz lemon, check a Mercedes recall list to see if any of the items listed might affect your vehicle. Recently there has been a Mercedes-Benz airbag recall.

What’s a “Reasonable Number” of repair attempts mean for your Mercedes-Benz?

The Mercedes-Benz manufacturer doesn’t get an unlimited amount of time or attempts at fixing your vehicle at a certain point, you should be compensated for the time, trouble, and expenses related to your Mercedes lemon. While the number that constitutes a “reasonable number” of attempts may differ depending on the state, in California, this criteria has been met if one of the following has happened:

  • The issue has caused your car to be out of service for more than 30 days since your car was purchased.
  • Your vehicle’s issues are such that they could cause death or bodily harm, the car has been in for repair two or more times, and the Mercedes-Benz manufacturer has been notified of need for the repairs.
  • The car been in for repairs four or more times and the Mercedes-Benz manufacturer has been notified of the need for repairs.

Mercedes-Benz Recalls

A recall is what happens when a manufacturer calls a number of vehicles in for a free repair of manufacturing defects. All cars are required to adhere to certain national safety standards, but, sometimes, vehicles aren’t built the way they’re intended to be. And when cars come off the assembly line with defective parts or errors, they can put the safety of consumers at risk.

When recalls are made, they’re usually done by the model, year, and Vehicle Identification (VIN) number of the cars that have the problems. And recalls are usually either issued by the manufacturer, or by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) after they’ve conducted an investigation. But no matter who makes the case for a recall, the manufacturer will always replace any defective parts at no cost to you.

No matter how good a Mercedes-Benz manufacturer’s reputation is, they’re just as susceptible to making cars that have defects or issues. Even a luxury automaker like Mercedes-Benz isn’t immune to selling cars with a minor, and sometimes major, issues. In fact, most models from the German manufacturer have been called back under a recall at one point or another, from their B-Class to Sprinter series.

The Mercedes-Benz manufacturer has had several issues with airbags over the years, but recalls have also been made for fuel leaks, seatbelt anchors, fire risks, lighting and more. Although some of these issues (such as interior and exterior lighting) don’t pose a serious threat to drivers and passengers, other problems like fuel leaks and fire risks put the safety of Mercedes owners at risk when they get behind the wheel.

Below, you’ll find a list of five recent Mercedes-Benz recalls from the U.S. and worldwide. To see if your vehicle was affected by any of these recalls, we encourage you to visit the Mercedes-Benz website or the NHTSA website to read about recent recall information and learn about the necessary next steps for getting your vehicle fixed.

  1. More than 9,000 2018 GLE and GLS SUVs were recalled for an issue that could cause the rear brakes to not fully engage.
  2. An issue with the incorrect bonding of the rear window led to a recall of several C300, C300 4MATIC, C63 AMG and C63S AMG Mercedes-Benz.
  3. Around 10,800 Mercedes-Benz C300 and C300 4MATIC, C43 AMG, C63 and C63S vehicles were recalled due to a bonding issue that could cause the rear beltline trim to fall off.
  4. Mercedes-Benz recalled four 2018 GLE350, GLE350 4MATIC and GLE43 AMG vehicles due to issues with the panoramic sunroof.
  5. Like most other manufacturers, Mercedes-Benz was also affected by the Takata airbag recalls on several of their models.

Mercedes CLK Problems

Mercedes-Benz cars like the Mercedes CLK are expected to be some of the most luxurious and reliable cars available. Unfortunately for many, this is not the case at all. Mercedes CLK problems have arisen again and again causing the car to commonly be seen as a lemon.

Mercedes CLS Problems

When purchasing a Mercedes CLS, many consumers expect luxury and dependability. Once again, however, Mercedes CLS problems have continued to occur for many owners of this car.

Mercedes-Benz Problems with Transmission

Once again, for a car brand that is known for being top-of-the-line, it has proven to have some true bottom-of-the-line lemons. Many Mercedes-Benz owners have experienced issues with the transmission. This is an unacceptable reality and one that our team of lemon law experts is ready and able to fight. 

Mercedes-Benz Steering Wheel Issues

Issues with the steering wheel are truly unacceptable for any car, which is why it has come as a bit of a shock that a car brand like Mercedes-Benz that is known for reliability has delivered just the opposite. Steering wheel lock-ups, resistance to turns, and general steering wheel failures are only the beginning of some of the worst steering wheel dilemmas many Mercedes-Benz owners have had to deal with. 

Mercedes-Benz Inoperable Air Bags

For many cars, safety is the number one priority. Unfortunately, this does not seem to be the case for many Mercedes-Benz models. Mercedes-Benz cars like the CLS, the SLK, and the CLK have become known for inoperable airbags. As one of the most important safety features of any cars, airbags are essential and need to be reliable 100% of the time.

I spoke directly to Mr. Shainfeld who helped guide me through the lemon law process. He was always responsive to me both via phone and emails. He was prompt and professional. Hopefully I do not have any further issues with my car in the future, but if I do I will contact Shainfeld Law.

Brett and his team was truly amazing to work with. From my very first contact through their chat capabilities on their website to the very last conversation with Brett. Being our first lemon claim for our 2018 Audi e-tron we were intimidated by what the process could be and didn’t know what to expect. Brett and his team made everything so easy to understand and seamless.

Most Helpful Lemon Lawyer

Brett was truly amazing to work with. Everything was so easy — from our initial call to the very last conversation.  This was our very first lemon claim (2018 Audi e-tron) and was slightly intimidated by what the process could be and didn’t know what to expect. Brett and his team made everything so easy to understand and seamless. He’s quick, efficient, very reliable. He is super clear up front with the process and quickly answers any questions you have. I would highly recommend Brett if you are looking for lemon law attorney. We couldn’t have done it without him.

Everything Was So Easy

After the torture we went through with our dealership on our Lemon Law car and the subsequent challenge of trying to find a responsive, knowledgeable attorney to represent our case, we were at our wit’s end and highly skeptical when we found Brett Shainfeld. However, we found Brett to be clear, communicative, immediately responsive and confident. He adapted quickly to our preferred mode of communication (electronic or voicemail, rather than live discussions), and consistently kept us informed as to what was happening with our case, as well as what to expect next. And the best part is that he successfully negotiated our case with the manufacturer.

Great Experience

Brett was the best attorney we’ve had the opportunity to work with. If we ever need a Lemon Law attorney again, we won’t hesitate to use Brett. He’s very conscientious, keeping us appraised of what’s going on. If we leave a message or e-mail for him, he’d respond to is in a very timely manner. We will not hesitate to use his services again in the future. We’ll also recommend him to anyone & everyone who needs a good Lemon Law attorney.
