Plastic shoes broke on moonroof causing moonroof to be inoperable. Shoes are very fragile and difficult to replace. Many users have this problem. Broken shoes do not allow car to be driven with moonroof open as roof may fly upward and detach from vehicle. Moonroof lubrication is supposed to be part of maintenance schedule, which I have religiously adhered to, but dealership either ignored this maintenance step, or shoes broke anyway. Very expensive repair requires dropping of headliner. Please issue a safety recall.

I was driving my 2015 mb Gla250 4matic [xxx] and suddenly 5 warning alerts popped on the display and the respective signals turned on the dashboard. The 5 warnings were: 4matic currently unavailable, inoperative ABS, parking break, collision prevention assist plus inoperative and check engine. In addition, the steering wheel became heavy at the same time. I turned off the car and turned it on again and at that time only the check engine signal was on. As soon as I accelerated the car and the car changed to 2nd, all the original lights and warning turned on and the steering wheel became heavy. I am sharing this information because I've read multiple similar complaints online. The warranty of the car expired in December 2018 (3 months ago) and back in November my vehicle stayed a couple weeks in garage isla verde (puerto rico) due to problems with transmission. My car has 18,000 miles and I find these types of errors unbealivable since it's an almost new unit. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I was driving at 45mph during day time, in normal slow-traffic conditions on a California freeway, when my panoramic sunroof exploded. Outside temperature was 66F, I was not driving under a bridge and I didn't hear any noise of impact generated by a foreign object. At the time of the explosion I was passing a truck and by the sound of it, I immediately thought that one of the truck's tires exploded. Instead I looked up and my entire panoramic sunroof was in pieces. Luckily the sunshade lining was closed and it protected my face from being exposed to the pieces of broken glass.

Back door was ajar and there was no warning display to state the door was not closed completely. I was able to pull out of my driveway and the warning did not display until I was driving. Safety issue especially with small children in the back seat.

The door open warning sign on the dash did not come on until after driving about 100 feet. A backseat passenger fell out of the car as it started to move forward. The driver assumed the back door was closed securely when he started forward because there was no warning light.
