Mercedes built the car with a faulty battery and now they want to provide an "update" to the car that makes it worse: reduced battery life and slower charging times. So I have to choose between only charging my car to 80% or taking their update which makes my car worse. How can the NHTSA allow that to be the solution to the problem?

Urgent fire risk- 2nd time I have received recall. The wait time for the first was months. The fix on that recall did not remedy the recall and we now received another. I have been unable to charge at home with a level 2 charger out of fear of catching fire as my port is attached to my home. No remedy is available other than a continuous wait for possible replacement of battery. This is a huge safety risk and I feel unsafe operating this vehicle. Operating my vehicle with my children in the car has caused me a great deal of fear and anxiety. The car should be purchased back by the dealer.
