On april 10, 2019 he took the vehicle back to the dealer (mercedes-benz of sarasota, 4754 clark rd, sarasota, fl 34233, (941) 275-1293) because it shook violently while driving and the engine felt like it was losing power at 20 mph. Also, an abnormal noise was heard. The dealer stated that the failures were not abnormal. The dealer test drove the vehicle with the windows up and could not replicate the failures; however, they stated that the noise was due to a design fault that occurred when the rear windows were open.
