I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED FROM A PRIVATE PARTY ON 10/21/17 WITH 76,860 MILES. I FILLED THE TANK WITH GAS, PARKED IT MY GARAGE, DOOR CLOSED. NEXT MORNING THERE A VERY STRONG ODOR OF RAW GAS. A MERCEDES DEALER CONFIRMED THROUGH DIAGNOSTICS AND A SMOKE TEST THAT BOTH SENDING UNITS AND SEALS WERE DEFECTIVE, AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.
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.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
