Description of the problem	My vehicle, a 2015 mercedes-benz c300 purchased on 6/6/15 with approximately 1200 miles on the odometer. On monday morning 7/20/15, at approximately 5:30 am pdt, i was driving on the freeway when the interior lights came on and the drivers door popped open. There was no warning chime or indicator light prior to this happening. It was very frightening, and caught me by surprise. Luckily at the time there were no other cars near me. I was able to slow down and shut the door. I called the dealer and they were concerned and had me drop it off that afternoon. Picked up on tuesday afternoon 7/21/15 approximately 5:30 pm pdt. I was told they couldn't duplicate the door opening. However, looking at forums on the internet, this exact issue has been reported by others in the us and australia at least. Some were the drivers door others were the passengers door. One reported it happening a second time after the dealer inspected. I am very concerned about this happening again, and possibly triggering an air bag or auto-park. I do not feel safe in this car. I have contacted mercedes-benz usa via chat this morning 7/22/15 and they will have a case manager contact me.
