Description of the problem	My wife was driving her car on a paved, and dry, road. She was following behind a suv, that applied the brakes abruptly. She had difficulty stopping her car and she wound up hitting the suv in front of her. While this does sound unusual, it is for this car (2016 mercedes benz c300). The salesman told us that this car was equipped with an anti-collision. System called "collision prevention assist plus". It is supposed to activate a light on the dash. If the car gets even closer yet, it is supposed give an audible alarm. If the driver doesn't respond and the car gets even closer to the car in front, the system should deploy the braking system until the driver engages. Even if the driver doesn't deploy the brakes, the car is supposed to stop before a collision. In our car, this system did not function. There was no light, no audible alarm, and no deployment of the brakes. The car was involved in a rear end collision with a mazda crv. So far, mercedes benz has not called me back. I filled out a questionnaire two weeks ago to inform them of the problem. Our car has been sitting at the body shop awaiting mercedes to get back to us. I have done everything i know to try and get mercedes to contact me. This feature was grossly misrepresented by the salesman at anaheim hills mercedes and he has been reprimanded for it. What is worse, the car collision prevention assist plus system completely failed.
