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 2013 Mercedes-Benz ML350. While parking the vehicle with the brake pedal depressed and the gear shifter in the reverse position, the vehicle accelerated backwards on its own. The failure recurred multiple times. The vehicle was driven to the dealer, but the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.
The cruise control lever is located on the left hand side of the steering column, just below the lever for the turn signal mechanism. I accidentally pulled on the cruise lever instead of the turn signal causing the vehicle to unexpectedly speed up. This is such an obvious design flaw, it is only a matter of time until someone has an accident.
2013 Mercedes Benz ML350: During the first occurrence, upon acceleration from a stop point, the vehicle hesitated lurching to then gain speed as intended by the driver. Second and third occurrences were identical and occurred while leaving the house with no traffic anywhere on sight. Vehicle was sent for repairs and dealership said a software update should have fixed the problem. On 10/15/13, while trying to reenter an expressway from the emergency lane, the car hesitated while trying to accelerate from an incoming vehicle. The vehicle lurched consecutive during three occasions in a matter of seconds then finally gained speed thus avoiding a collision. Should the incoming car have been driving just a bit faster, 4 passengers including a baby would have been rear ended by a vehicle traveling at expressway speeds.
