OUR 2006 MERCEDES CLK 500 STARTED TO SMELL LIKE GAS RIGHT AFTER FILLING IT UP AND WOULD CONTINUE TO SMELL UNTIL ABOUT 3/4 OF A TANK. AFTER REMOVING THE REAR SEAT AND SERVICE COVER I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS STANDING GASOLINE ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK. *TR

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
