| Description of the problem | My 2017 mercedes benz e300 car seems to have severe tire rim breaking issue. So far i have had to replace 2 rim's on this car and 3 tires. I use this car for commute to work and drive on highways in ct which are in pretty good condition. So this car is not going over on potholes or like. Hence i am very worried about the safety of the rims on this car. The staff at the dealership reported that they have seen other cars of the same model come for rim replacements much more frequently than other models. I have called mercedes and complained about this and have received no response. |
