This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2004 Mercedes Benz ML350. While driving 30 mph, the brake pedal was depressed and traveled all the way down to the floorboard without warning. The contact was able to stop the vehicle by slowing down on a curb. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 10,040.
While driving on a local street, I noticed that brakes had stopped working. After investigation, I noticed that a corroded brake line was leaking brake fluid. I had contacted Mercedes Benz customer service. I was told to contact a dealer, who confirmed that all brake lines are corroding in the area close to the engine compartment. I was told that this is not a safety issue subject to a recall. I was further told that it is normal for brake lines to corrode and leak. I have not noticed corrosion on any other part of the car, except the brake lines.
