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.
I was pulling into a parking space (with my 3 small children strapped in the back), when I realized that the car was not stopping. I pressed the brake harder, the car accelerated, jumped the cement median, and hit a parked car. Thank god no one was injured. I am sick thinking what could of happened. The car is 6 months old and has been back to the dealership twice for a problem I believe was the beginning of this, I.e., when I would step on the brake it would go to stall, buck forward and then be ok. The dealership was unable to find it or duplicate it. I have seen where other people are having this same problem. Also for 2003 the model is ml 350 - Mercedes. Again they have not found a problem. They sent the manufacturer out to check the car and nothing. I have a police report that states the responding police officer and tow truck driver concur that the brakes were down to the floor board and not engaging.
