I'm currently working with Mercedes Customer Care on resolving the constant mechanical issues I have been experiencing with this vehicle. I will share my experience once they have come up with a resolution.

My car was towed into Mercedes 4/2/20. On 4/2/20 I received the car back and the issue was reoccurring again. The car was towed in a second time to Mercedes on 4/6/20 and is currently in the shop.
On take-off the car will jump forward and the traction control will engage without reason. Every time it has occurred, the ground has been dry without sand or debris. On two occasions when pulling out onto a busy freeway, the car has jumped forward and the tracking control has engaged cutting almost all power, edging enough to put myself into direct on coming traffic. I stomped on the accelerator pedal and the car would not move forward for a few seconds until the traction control would disengage. I was EXTREMELY lucky on both occasions that the driver of both cars were paying attention to the road. Otherwise my niece and myself would have been injured or killed along with the oncoming driver and anyone else in their car. I have asked for Mercedes Customer Care to buy it back and release me from the lease ASAP. Driving this vehicle is a safety hazard putting my family, myself and anyone else on the road in harms way.
If anyone has any advice.. please chime in on how to help release me from this leased vehicle. Thank you in advance for your assistance and stay healthy.

I sent a follow up email and also left a voicemail this morning for an update but didn't received a response. Later this afternoon I called and requested a different representative and asked for my point of contact. The lady I spoke with said "he was occupied and couldn't take my call". I have listed my point of contact below. If anyone has another contact at Mercedes, please send me a private message. Unfortunately next step will be to get my attorney involved.
Mercedes Customer Care has still not reached out to help.. I received the car from the dealer and it is back in the shop. Service visit # 5. Check engine light came on once again and transmission is still giving me issues. This is my 3rd Mercedes and probably my last.
I have never received such careless customer service as I have from Mercedes. A good friend of mine used to be a sales manager for Mercedes and told me that Mercedes does not care about their customers and he was absolutely correct. BMW will bend over backwards for their customers and I previously experienced that when I owned one. Needless to say I will soon be a BMW customer once again.
Because MB didn't allow me to get out of the lease, I ended up trading the vehicle in for a difference brand and the dealership purchased the car to sell on their lot.
Make sure you don't end up with this lemon. ALWAYS check warranty records with an MB dealer before buying a used car. And never trust CarFax since the services didn't show up on the report.
