I purchased A220 in September 2019 and since then I faced this issue with the vehicle that it goes into Limp mode in middle of the road. After that it wont drive at all. I had to tow the vehicle to the dealer. This has happened 3 times and still the dealer does not any clue why this is happening. It is a very scary situation when this happens. Has anyone had this issue with their A220?

do you have check engine light? i hear from some owner with their A220, the car over-heat on highway they have to stop driving.

ada2020

yes it has all possible error messages on the dashboard. check engine light, active lane keeping assist inoperative, active brake assist functions limited.

vfxcxn0309

oh ****, have you get answer from dealer?

ada2020

they are like the first time it happened they replaced the transmission control unit. second time they just did a reset of messages and third time it is still with them..

sorry to hear that, if you only drive a little km on the car, if they couldn't fix it, ask for replace to a new one

3rd time is a charm. I would do a buyback. No excuses from a brand like Mercedes. We're having too many cars with too many issues. Force them to fix it, let us pay for the mistakes, but ensure any future A220 doesn't have the problem. I'm sure they're fixing and polishing the manufacturing process.

I had a 2019 Ram 1500 - Earlier builds had similar issues with it's E-Torque engine and stuff, but after about a year... it was fine. Our cars are clearly guinea pigs, but it's still no excuse to not give us a car that's refined. that's why I paid $40K for mine.

agree,!!

ada2020

I only have 2k miles on it. Will have to try for replacement or refund.

ada2020

agree!! new cars are guinea pigs. I hope Mercedes takes back this pig.. I have mentioned only one of the problem. it has many more.

vfxcxn0309

what model you have? A220 or 250?

vfxcxn0309

only if they can not fix your problems

vfxcxn0309

you said many more. What kind of problem you have on your A class

ada2020

AC leak, passenger air bag sign, incorrect door alignment, auto stop does not work, and once so called smart brake applied full stopping brake for no reason.

vfxcxn0309

ask them to buyback, you got A220?

ada2020

yes i have A220.

vfxcxn0309

ask them to buy back, and be careful before you buy look at the where the car gets made

Besides Mexico, are there any other countries for the US cars? Mine says engine built in Germany and final assembly is Mexico.

vfxcxn0309

that's the core problem, nit suggest to buy it

Same problem just kicked off for me. Check engine light popped and immediately went into limp mode. 9K miles on my 2019. Will update if dealer here in Atlanta area are able to sort it out.
