When we got onto the highway a car cut him off and he had to apply a firm steady brake . When breaking the car swerved from the rear into the other lane , nearly striking another vehicle . This also resulted in a loss of control when applying heavy breaking  after I had  him pull over and I took control of the vehicle  once I was able to get the car to the shop I pulled the rear wheel s off and inspected the brakes , which were found to be in good condition . I looked around the vehicle and noticed where the rear driver side subframe connected to the control arm broke off from a manufacturer defective weld or poor selection of materials . component.  Upon inspection both sides are perforated and have lost structural integrity. Many other vehicles of the model type have reported similar issues online. This is a serious safety concern that will happen to 100% of these vehicles. A recall needs to be issued by Mercedes for this immediately. This vehicle has very little rust anywhere except at these connections .","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2011","productMake":"MERCEDES BENZ","productModel":"C300","manufacturer":"Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC"}]}]}
