This vehicle was purchased new, in cash, from the Mercedes-Benz dealership in Bellevue, WA. It was delivered to me, without being warned about the car being equipped with summer tires, the state of Washington has continuous rain, snow, and ice in a regular basis throughout the years, summer tires are not a good tire for an SUV such as this GLB unit in this region. On 12/27/2021 I went on an errand around my neighborhood, the road had snow and ice, and it had been serviced by our city's plows and deicer was present, during three occasions I had to stop for traffic lights, and my car skidded during all three occasions almost hitting another vehicle, and a pedestrian, my car was the only car skidding on the road, I am an excellent driver with not a single accident on my responsibility, and I have driven on snow and ice for years; this was not a novice's error. Furthermore, the car has a loud "clunk" noise coming from undercarriage, and sensations of tire slipping, possibly front and right corner, specifically when I perform a slow speed U-turn. This vehicle has not been damaged and has about 3,000.0 miles in the odometer, on 12/14/2021 I took it to the Mercedes-Benz dealership for inspection, they did not find any reason for the "clunk" noise and slipping of tires; this is when I was informed that my tires were summer tires and I needed to buy new all-weather, or winter tires, the tires "would not perform" in the winter, I was told by the M-B service representative. Here I am with a "high quality" new vehicle, with clunky scary noises, while sensing of tires slipping, and the dealership claims it to be "normal" and "safe", on top of that the car was equipped by factory with substandard tires for the region of final destination, all of which may cause accidents, damages, and/or injuries.
