Defect SummaryMercedes-benz is recalling certain accessory all-season floor mats sold for use in model year 2012 and 2013 mercedes-benz ml-class vehicles. this all-season floor mat may not fully conform to the contour of the vehicle's floor plan as intended. clearance between the mat and the gas pedal may be reduced, possibly allowing the pedal to become trapped.
Consequence SummaryThis interference could prevent the gas pedal from retracting and the vehicle may not decelerate as expected when the driver lifts their foot from the gas pedal, which could increase the risk of a crash. should the pedal become trapped, steady application of the brakes will allow the vehicle to be brought to a stop.
Corrective SummaryMercedes-benz will notify owners, and dealers will replace the floor mats free of charge. until replacement mats become available, consumers are advised to remove their floor mats from the vehicle. the safety recall began on december 21, 2012. only vehicles equipped with the accessory floor mats are affected. owners may contact mercedes-benz for more information at 1-800-367-6372.
NotesOwners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

 The brakes on my brand new 2013 mercedes benz ml 63 amg screetches/squeals when soft braking to a stop. i have been told by the mb dealer is westminster, co that this is normal and i need to brake hard in order to stop the noise. this awful noise did not happen when i first started driving it a few weeks ago. it started only recently and it is getting louder and louder when coming to a stop. this could be a potential defect waiting for a disaster. this shouldn't be happening to a car that is brand new and costs over $100,000. *tr
