I have a passenger malfunction with airbags warning coming. I also just experienced getting gas. My milage counted down to zero which it never has before and my engine light came on. I went and got gas 3 times spending around $70 and my gas mileage still says 0 and my engine light is on.

Family and I were driving on the interstate and heard a loud bang (like a shotgun) followed by immediate glass everywhere. The panoramic sunroof exploded. We had to drive 4 hours like this - lucky we didn’t jerk the wheel on the interstate with the noise. Absolutely sickening that this is so prevalent and Mercedes won’t do anything about it.

Reporting because I see reports on other searches of this happening on other Mercedes Benz various years and models, the front stationary roof panel has shattered, cracked. I was lucky, my vehicle is only cracked (leaving my windshield components open to the weather , ie rain in Washington). Others report shattering while driving and having injuries from blowing glass. This appears to be an ongoing problem with Mercedes, they want over $2000 to fix a common problem with their vehicles.
