Description of the problem	While using the cup holder on my 2004 mercedez benz clk vin [xxx] coffee spilled and caused the radio and a/c unit to malfunction. This resulted in almost $2,000 in repair costs. The cup holder in the vehicle is placed directly above the radio and a/c controls. I know that mercedes had problems in the past with the slk models with spills causing the electronic transmission to short out. Based on the design of the cup holder is would be impossible to prevent spilling when faced with a sudden stop or a hole in the road. I requested the repair to be covered by mercedes benz but they refused to honor my request. Since the design is so flawed, and the damage to electonic equipment so foreseeable it is wrong to do this to consumers. nm updated 07/16/2012 js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.

A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
