Common Reported SymptomsAI Analysis
On four separate occasions since purchasing the vehicle brand new in October 2021, the emergency braking system has engaged while driving at a high rate of speed on the freeway. These incidents have been reported to the dealership during servicing and they have indicated no faults with the system. Two more incidents have occurred since the last inspection and the car will be inspected one more time on 12/2/23.
I find the design of the 2022 GLA Mercedes Benz to be flawed. Just the mere filling gas into the tank can cause the Charcoal Canister to go bad; causing the malfunction light to activate; unknown to consumers. A safety flap should be required over the gas hole to prevent any overflow. Although, the emission control system is covered under warranty - the dealership is trying to pass this on the consumers. If there is a conscious effort to prevent carbon poison of the environment this should be mandatory and not something that is allowed and picked up by consumers. My safety is at risk because this issue causes damage to the car which can result in car failure and death. The problem has been confirmed by the dealer and per the dealer other consumers have had the same issue, so they are aware. There were no other problems, warnings or failures prior to gas being placed in the car sometime in May 2023.

I bought a car with Navigation needed for disability all my calls to take the vehicle back fell on deaf ears or at least put the promised component in the car so as to allow one to drive despite handicapped
