Narrative

I was involved in an auto accident on 3/1/22 I no longer have confidence or feel safe driving the 2019 Mercedes GLA250 after having a minor" accident and repairs totaling $15,008.53. The steering wheel locked and the left tire was knocked out of place. According to Mercedes, repairs were required to the suspension system, new struts, new knuckles, steering gear. I am terrified to continue driving the GLA250 model and am anxious and fearful off having another accident which could very well result in a fatality. The first estimate for repairs totaled $5,385, followed by a second estimate of $13,776 and then a third estimate of $15,008.53.
