There has not been an incident report, however, my brakes failed while driving and I pulled over. This is the fault the SBC System which has an Extended 25 year warranty. I brought it into Mercedes prior to complete failure, but they only replace the Pressure Reservoir. It must be returned to Mercedes for the SBC UNIT replacement.

The contact owns a 2005 Mercedes-Benz E320. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V954000 (Visibility) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact stated she had trapped her finger in the sunroof. The contact stated that the sunroof was loose. The failure mileage was unknown. Parts distribution disconnect.

A warning in Red came up on the dashboard which said something like "catastrophic break failure" ..I was going slow about to stop at the Red light and the brakes did not work and I hit a mini van

Car break looses 70% of its pressure and only left with 30% break. It happened 3-4 times already. break booster malfunction sign comes up. When i restart the car, malfunction sign goes away and it run ok for few days till it happen again. I am not driving it right now. it can cause serious accident at high speed

Break booster malfunction sign popped up 3-4 time while driving and I lost 70% of the break. Luckily it happened on local road at speed under 30mph. It is very dangerous and can result in an accident

While driving in highway, SBC brake failure warning and failure. Fortunate to be able to come to a stop without crashing into a car ahead since had plenty of time and distance to slowly come to a stop even with reduced braking power. If traveling in rush hour would likely have rear ended a stopped car in front and potentially causing serious injury and damage! This is a known issue with Mercedes, and there is an extended 25 year warranty on the vehicle but for some reason, my vehicle was not included in the recall: NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 04V296000 2005 Mercedes e320 automatic sedan. I had the dealer replace parts of the the SBA brake unit once, but it has since reappeared on an intermittent basis usually during cold start and then it goes away in a few seconds while pulling out of a driveway, but this time it occurred after having driven for awhile on a freeway Please investigate to include additionally affected vehicles!!!

Brake warning lights flashed and brakes failed

Please see this discussion... 2005 Mercedes E320 SBC brake system should be recalled. Thanks for considering!

The passenger compartment smells like gasoline. This is due to an issue that was already investigated by nhtsa however the warranty that was extended is expired by two years. I just purchased this vehicle used and it is unsafe to drive. It did not smell like gas a few weeks ago when it was purchased. The odor is very strong in the passenger compartment.

FILLED UP GAS TANK AND HAD FUEL ODOR INSIDE CAR AND FUEL LEAKING OUTSIDE THE CAR UNTIL FUEL LEVEL WAS AROUND 3/4 OF A TANK. I BELIEVE THAT MINE FALLS UNDER ALL THE OTHER PROBLEMS LISTED FOR FUEL LEAKS FOR OTHER W211 MERCEDES. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS WAS ONLY ALLOWED FOR ORIGINAL OWNERS AND NOT FOR ANYONE THAT PURCHASED USED.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND RED WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AND NO BRAKES

I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MERCEDES OF LITTLE ROCK AND REFERENCED MFG RECALL # 2019120012 AND NHTSA RECALL # 19V918. WHEN I SHOWED UP THIS MORNING AT THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER, I WAS TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. I ATTEMPTED TO SHOW THEM THE WEBPAGE INFORMATION WITH MY PHONE AND THEY SAID IF IT DOESN'T SHOW UNDER THEIR VIN LOOKUP, THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. IS THERE A WAY TO APPEAL OR OTHER RECOURSE? THANK YOU

I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT (LUCKILY) AND MY CAR STARTED ROLLING FORWARD. I PRESSED THE BRAKES HARDER AND THEY WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR CONTINUED ROLLING FORWARD. I THREW THE CAR INTO PARK AND TURNED ON MY HAZARDS. THE POLICE SHOWED UP. HE TRIED PUTTING THE CAR IN DRIVE TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD BUT IT WOULDN'T GO INTO GEAR. MY HUSBAND SHOWED UP, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN ON AND THE CAR WAS ABLE TO BE MOVED TO A CLOSE PARKING LOT. WHEN WE BROUGHT IT TO A MERCEDES DEALERSHIP, THEY FOUND CODES (C233D, C22BC, C23BD, C223C, C26DE, C25D5) FOR PRESSURE SYSTEM FAILURE AND PRESSURE FAILURE TO ALL FOUR TIRES AT THE SAME TIME. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE BRAKES NEEDED TO BE FLUSHED BEFORE ANY SENSOTRONIC WARRANTY WORK WOULD BE REIMBURSED. SO WE PAID $465.99 TO HAVE THEM FLUSHED AND WERE TOLD THAT THE SYSTEM WAS RETESTED AND NO PROBLEMS WERE FOUND. I WAS GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS BY THE TECHNICIAN THAT WHEN THIS HAPPENS AGAIN, BRAKE EARLY AND PRESS THE BRAKES REALLY HARD. IF WE GET A DIFFERENT CODE NEXT TIME, THEY WILL BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. WE HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH MERCEDES AND THEY HAVE REFERRED US BACK TO THE EXPERTISE OF THE DEALERSHIP.

TAKATA RECALL: THE SRS LIGHT IN MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN ON FOR A WHILE. IT JUST HAPPENED OVERNIGHT WITHOUT ANY REASON. MY CONCERN IS WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT, WOULD THE AIR BAGS STILL WORK. I'M WONDERING IF THIS ISSUE COMES FROM THE MANUFACTURE BECAUSE I HAVE HEARD OF SOME OF THE BENZ FROM THIS YEAR WITH THE SAME ISSUE

CAR WAS ELEVATED ON A 2 POST CAR LIFT AND WE WERE WORKING ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE BODY. 2 SHARP BLOWS WERE STRUCK ON A BOLT HEAD ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE CAR WITH A HAMMER IN AN EFFORT TO LOOSEN THE BOLT. AFTER THE SECOND BLOW, THE DRIVERS SIDE SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY, THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN NEUTRAL AND THE IGNITION KEY WAS TURNED TO THE ACCESSORY POSITION.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 MERCEDES-BENZ E320. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED, ANOTHER VEHICLE SWITCHED LANES INTO THE PATH OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE CONTACT SWERVED TO THE RIGHT AND CRASHED INTO A CURB TO AVOID THE OTHER VEHICLE. SOME OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. SMOKE APPEARED INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE INSURANCE COMPANY TOWED THE VEHICLE TO A FACILITY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. PULLED OUT OF THE PARKING LOT (BRAKE WORKING AT THIS TIME) ON TO A CITY STREET. THIS WAS A DIVIDED MULTIPLE LANE ROAD, WITH THE CAR TRAVELING IN THE CENTER LANE. A FEW MINUTES LATER THE CAR COULD NOT BE SLOWED OR STOPPED. AN INTERSECTION WITH TRAFFIC LIGHT WAS AHEAD, WITH MULTIPLE CARS IN FRONT. SWITCHED OFF THE IGNITIOM OF THE CAR TO SLOW IT DOWN. TOOK A TURN OFF AT THE INTERSECTION. THE CAR RAN OVER THE CURB AND CAME TO REST NEXT TO A GAS STATION.

CAR SHUT OFF RANDOMLY BY GOING SAFE MODE WHILE DRIVING, CONSTANT BREAK WARNING IN BRIGHT RED " BREAK VISIT WORKSHOP" I WENT TO MULTIPLE SHOPS AND A CONSISTENT ELECTRICAL ISSUE BUT, PROBLEM TO BE DETERMINED, CAR HAS BEEN CHECKED MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE I PURCHASED IT FROM THE USED CAR DEALER WITH THE SRS LIGHT ON, I DID NOT KNOW WHAT IT WAS. THE CAR HAS HAD THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED 3 TIMES, BOTH BATTERIES TWICE, ONE SHORT WAS FOUND IN FAULTY WIRING HARNESS IN TRUCK BEING PINCHED. THE DEALER WOULD DENY SBC UNIT RECALL EVERY TIME I CALLED FLETCHER JONES, AND ONLY GAVE ME THE OPTION TO PAY THEM FOR A DIAGNOSIS AND THEN THEY WILL DETERMINE IF ITS FAULTY INSTEAD OF MY LIFE BEING RISKED AS WELL AS THOSE AROUND ME I FINALLY TRACKED DOWN THE NUMBER FOR CORPORATE AND I GOT CONFORMATION FROM MERCEDES CORPORATE SAY MY VIN WAS INCLUDED IN THE LIST. THE CAR WOULD LEAVE ME WITHOUT BREAKS, POWER STEERING MULTIPLE TIMES AND ALWAYS WITHOUT NOTICE OCCURRING MOSTLY ON THE FREEWAY. THE SBC UNIT WAS EVENTUALLY REPLACED BY A SUPPOSED AUTHORIZED SHOP AND I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY REIMBURSEMENT AND THEN THE SAME PROBLEMS OCCURRED SHORTLY AFTER THE REPAIR. THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE HAD DRAINED THE BATTERIES YET AGAIN SO THE CAR WAS GARAGED AT MY PARENTS WHERE IT EVENTUALLY CAUGHT FIRE IN THAT LOCATION WHICH MAKES THIS WHOLE ORDEAL EVEN MORE OUTRAGEOUS DUE TO MERCEDES MAJOR LACK OF CONCERN WITH THIS AND THEY STILL WANT ME TO PAY THEM TO FIX IT BEFORE THEY WILL EVEN DECIDE TO DO ANYTHING. I HAVE MANY DIFFER

I WAS DRIVING AND MY BRAKES FAILED CAUSING ME TO ALMOST CRASH. I WAS ON A BUSY INTERSTATE AND HAD TO IMMEDIATELY GET TO EDGE OF ROAD AND TURN MY CAR OFF AND THE RESTART.. TOOK TO A AOTO SHOP. FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS THE SBC ABS BRAKE SYSTEM. WAS NOTIFIED OF A RECALL

BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON SO IT WAS CHARGED THEN RECONNECTED, EVERYTHING GOOD, TURN KEY TO ON POSITION EVERYTHING GOOD, TURN KEY TO START AND BANG! LOUD BANG AND WHITE SMOKE EVERYWHERE, ENGINE CONTINUED TO SMOKE FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AFTER EXPLOSION, HOLE IN FRONT OF ENGINE

SQUEAKY FRONT SUSPENSION.

THE SBC BRAKING SYSTEM TOTALLY FAILED WHILE DRIVING. DONG ROAD AT 35 MPH ONLY WAY TO AVOID RUNNING INTO SOMEONE OR CARS WAS TO DRIVE THIS INTO TREE. I COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE OR ME. THE PROBLEM IS THE SAME WITH ALL THESE MODELS. THEIR NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THESES MODELS BEFORE TO MANY PEOPLE DIE. THIS MODEL IS KNOW TO HAVE COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE ESPECIALLY ON THE MERCEDES FORUMS. SOMEONE CAN INSPECT THE VEHICLE BECAUSE I CAN WAIT TO FIX TO MAKE SURE THIS CAN NEVER HAPPEN TO ANYONE AGAIN OR CAUSE A DEATH.

THEIR A STRONG SMELL OF GAS SMELL INSIDE THE CAR

SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SYSTEM.....FAIL EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM VENT CONTROL CIRCUIT.......FAIL

I WAS DRIVING 40MPH ON A CITY STREET, WHEN THE CAR DASH FLASHED IN RED, "BRAKE MALFUNCTION, SEE WORKSHOP SOON". A RED LIGHT WAS COMING UP, SO I WENT TO PRESS BRAKES & ABSOLUTELY NO BRAKES! I SWERVED IN A CHURCH/SCHOOL PARKING LOT TO MY RIGHT SO I WOULDN'T GO FURTHER AHEAD & BE IN A MAJOR INTERSECTION. BECAUSE OF THE QUICK TURN, I HIT A TREE IN AN ISLAND, WHICH STOPPED THE CAR, BUT TOTALED MY CAR. I HAD MY CAR FOR 12 YRS & ALWAYS SERVICED IT & HAD IT IN EXCELLENT CONDITION & NO RECALL, ETC WAS EVER ON THIS CAR FOR THIS DEAL. MY HUSBAND LOOKED ON LINE AFTER & SAW OTHERS HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN, WITH SAME MAKE./MODEL & OLDER MILES.

WHEN I FILL THE TANK WITS GAS(NOT TOPPED OFF) WHEN I DRIVE IT HOM PARK IT IN GARAGE IT SMELL OF A STRONG GAS ORDER. AFRESH DRIVIBG A LITTLE ( TO USE GAS) IT GOES AWAY, HAPPENS EACH TIME I FILL.

JUST REALLY DISSAPOINTED IN MY DEALERSHIP. I CALLED THEM AGAIN TELLING THEM SBC PUMP WENT NO GOODWILL GOODHEART CHANGE OF DEFECTIVE PUMP AND NOW COST ME 2000.00 TO FIX A DEFECTIVE SBC PUMP THAT SHOULD HAD BEEN CHANGED BEFORE I BOUGHT THE CAR, OR CORRECTED ME WHEN I CALLED THEY SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME THERE IS A EXTENDED WARRANTY I WOULD HAVE BROUGHT IT IN THEN! VERY FRUSTRATED WITH MERCEDES BENZ DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT MY CAR HOPE THIS BECOMES A NATIONAL RECALL BEFORE SOMETHING REALLY BAD HAPPENS, MOST PEOPLE 2ND OWNERS ARE PROBABLY HAVE NO IDEA.

I GOT A MESSAGE ON MY DASHBOARD TO VISIT CAR SHOP FOR BRAKES. THINKING THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE BRAKES, I DROVE IT FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS ( I HARDLY DRIVE) AND TOOK IT IN. ONLY TO FIND OUT IT WAS THE HYDRAULIC PUMP THAT WENT OUT AND COULD LEAVE ME WITHOUT ANY BRAKES AT ANY SECOND!! I HAD TO LEAVE IT THERE FOR 4 DAYS AND PAID 1544.

THERE IS A HIGH LEVEL OF RF BEING EMITTED INSIDE THE CABIN OF THE CAR. THE LEVEL IS SO HIGH IT PUSHES PULSED RF WAVES AGAINST AN ALUMINUM EMERGENCY BLANKET THAT WAS SET UP TO IDENTIFY WHICH DIRECTION IT WAS COMING FROM. THIS METHOD SHOWED IT IS COMING FROM MULTIPLE DIRECTION WITHIN THE CABIN. THIS IS WITH THE ENGINE OFF AND WINDOWS ROLLED UP. ALSO LF L LEAVE THE CAR AND COME BACK WITHIN LESS THAN A MINUTE THE CLIMATE INSIDE WILL KNOCK ME OUT, OR MAKE ME VERY SLEEPY. I HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY GET OUT OF THE CAR AND WALK 50 TO 70 FEET AWAY FROM IT TO STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING IF L CATCH IT IN TIME. MOST OF THE TIME L DO NOT AND SOMEONE IS USING THIS DEFECT TO STEAL ITEMS FROM THE CAR, DESTROY THE INTERIOR AD ALONG WITH A HOST OF ILLEGAL ACTIVITY WHILE L AM PASSED OUT INSIDE.BECAUSE THIS DANGEROUS ACTIVITY HAPPENS 90 PERCENT OF THE TIME THE RF MAY BE REMOTELY CONTROLLED. ALSO L HAVE ALMOST BEEN KNOCKED OUT WHILE DRIVING ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THANKS TO JESUS CHRIST L WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OVER AND RECOVER. IN ADDITION THE RF WILL ISOLATE AND FREEZE DIFFERENT BODY PARTS INDIVIDUALLY SIMILAR TO THE THERAPEUTIC PROCEDURE OF COOL SCULPTING. MULTIPLE POLICE REPORTS HAVE BEEN MADE AND THE DEALERSHIP NOTIFIED. THE CAR MARKER WAS NOTIFIED BY PHONE BUT REFUSE TO HELP.

THE CAR IS BEING HACKED INTO BY MULTIPLE INDIVIDUALS ACROSS TRIPLE CITIES. THE HACKERS ARE ABLE TO LOCK AND UNLOCK THE DOORS, SHIFT GEARS, TURN ON THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, CONTROL THE RADIO AND CD PLAYER, OPEN THE HOOD TO STEAL OIL AND CONTROL THE COMPLETE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE CAR. INCLUDING TURNING ON THE CABIN LIGHTS, BLACKING OUT THE ODOMETER ALONG WITH THE FUEL GAUGE, AND SHUTTING THE CAR OFF WHEN DESIRED THIS INCLUDES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. BECAUSE THEY CAN UNLOCK THE DOORS AND ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS THEY HAVE ACCESS TO THE HOOD AND GAS DOOR. THIS ALLOWED THEM TO BREAK THE RADIATOR, DAMAGE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, AND STEAL GAS. ALSO SINCE THE HACKERS HAVE ACCESS THEY HAVE DESTROYED THE DRIVERS SEAT, CRACK THE WOOD ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND DOOR TRIM, REMOVED THE RIGHT AND LEFT FRONT DOORS, AND DESTROYED THE CENTER ARM REST. THE RF FIELD IS CONTROLLED BY THEM, AND LOUD CRACKING SOUNDS ARE REMOTELY INTRODUCED WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY AND KEY REMOVED. THE TELE- AID IS ALSO ACTIVITIES REMOTELY ON OCCASION AS WELL. THE FBI HAS BEEN NOTIFIED NUMEROUS TIMES TO NO AVAIL ALONG WITH THE CAR MAKER WHO TOLD ME NOT TO CONTACT THEM AGAIN. THREE DEALERSHIPS CHECKED OUT THE CAR AND NONE KNEW HOW TO DEAL WITH THE ISSUE. MERCEDES BENZ IN GERMANY WAS NOTIFIED BY EMAI AND SAID MERCEDES USA HAS MY INFORMATION I'M THEIR LEGAL DEPARTMENT. THIS WAS OVER 2 YEARS AGO WITH NO CONTACT FROM THEM REGARDING THIS ISSUE. ALL ATTEMPTS TO REACH THEM BY PHONE VIA CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS FAILED. MULTIPL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 MERCEDES-BENZ E320. WHILE DECELERATING FROM 60 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED TO ENGAGE. THE BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SENSOTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL (SBC) WAS FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER INFORMATION WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000. *TT *TR

IN 2015 WE STARTED TO NOTICE THE SMELL OF GASOLINE FOLLOWING FILLING THE TANK WITH GAS. THE SMELL OF GASOLINE IS SO STRONG THAT WE HAD TO OPEN OUR GARAGE DOORS TO VENT THE FUMES. NO GASOLINE WAS SPILLED DURING REFUELING. THERE IS NO VISIBLE GAS LEAK ON THE GARAGE FLOOR. THE VEHICLE IS A 2005 MERCEDES-BENZ E320 WITH ONLY 44,000 MILES. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM WE DISCOVERED NUMEROUS OTHER OWNERS OF THIS MODEL MERCEDES HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. MERCEDES HAS NO RECALL FOR THIS FUEL FUME DEFECT AND ANY REPAIR IS NOT WITHIN THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY PERIOD. NHTSA ACTION #EA13003 SUMMARY TEST & ANALYSIS BY MERCEDES-BENZ SHOWS NO RISKS OF FIRE OR PASSENGER SAFETY. THIS IS BS AS FUEL FUMES WITHIN AN ENCLOSED AREA, SUCH AS A GARAGE WHERE A NATURAL GAS HOT WATER TANK EXISTS, COULD CAUSE A FIRE. NHTSA NEEDS TO REQUIRE MERCEDES-BENZ TO RECALL THE VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THIS DEFECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 MERCEDES-BENZ E320. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE DEALER (RBM OF ATLANTA, INC, 7640 ROSWELL RD, ATLANTA, GA 30350, (770) 390-0700) SOLD THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT WAS NOT INFORMED THAT IT WAS INCLUDED IN A MANUFACTURER SERVICE CAMPAIGN FOR THE SBC PUMP.

I WAS ONLY GOING WITH 15-20MPH BUT THERE WAS A RED LIGHT IN FRONT OF ME WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I COULDN'T STOP IN TIME AND HAD TO HIT THE BARRIER TO STOP THE CAR. LUCKILY NO ONE IS INJURED, BUT MY CAR WAS A SERIOUS THREAT TO ME AND OTHERS. I CONTACTED THE MB SERVICE AND IT IS RELATED WITH SBC UNIT AND IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY WANT $2700 TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I THINK MB NEEDS TO REALIZE THIS ISN'T LIKE THE GLYCOL CONTAMINATION OR SOMETHING NOT THAT SERIOUS, THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM IN THE ACTUAL BRAKING SYSTEM OF THE CAR!!! VERY SCARY AND IMAGINE THOSE PEOPLE DRIVING THESE 03-06 E'S, OR 06'S CLS, OR SL'S THAT DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE CHANCES OF THE SYSTEM FAILING AND WHAT TO DO.

PURCHASE THIS CAR IN FEBRUARY 2017 SMELLS LIKE GAS IS SEEPING OUT FROM SOMEWHERE. STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY. NOW HAVING PROBLEMS WITH STARTING CAR AND AIRBAG SUSPENSION LIGHT IS ON.

THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH SBC - SENSOTRONIC BRAKE SYSTEM. ROLLING AT CITY SPEED LIMIT, THE BRAKE PEDAL SUDDENLY WENT TO THE FLOOR WITH NO ADVANCED WARNING CAUSING ME TO USE THE TRANSMISSION AND EMERGENCY BRAKE TO BRING THE CAR TO A STOP. SEEMS TO ME TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH A MERCEDES BENZ WHO DON'T WANT TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT IN TERMS OF REPAIR COST

HEADLIGHT AND ENGINE WIRING DETERIORATING BEYOND REPAIR! DANGEROUS AND MAY CAUSE SUDDEN CRASH OR FIRE.,.

FUEL SENDING UNIT LEAKING FUEL - STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE. I SEE THAT MANY OTHER W211 STYLE MERCEDES BENZ OWNERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME THING. I TOOK IT INTO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAYS THAT THE SENDING UNIT IS LEAKING AND THIS HAS BEEN AN GOING PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLE. MERCEDES NEEDS TO RECALL THIS FOR SAFETY REASONS AND DO THE RIGHT THING. PLEASE ADD MY COMPLAINT TO THE PILE OF COMPLAINTS ALREADY RECEIVED BY YOUR AGENCY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 MERCEDES-BENZ E320. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, IT WAS HACKED INTO ELECTRONICALLY.

THE FRONT PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. BOTH OCCUPANTS SUSTAINED MAJOR INJURIES AS A RESULT OF THE COLLISION. THE INVESTIGATING CHP OFFICER OBSERVED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY AND REQUESTED AN EVALUATION OF THE SYSTEM DUE TO A PERCEIVED POTENTIAL SRS SYSTEM FAILURE. CHP MULTIDISCIPLINARY ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION TEAM (MAIT) EVALUATED THE SYSTEM (SEE INCLUDED MAIT INVESTIGATION). *TR

WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK I SELL GAS AND ODOR FILLS UP THE GARAGE. THE SMELL USUALLY GOES AWAYS WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN AND GAS TANK IS NOT FULL. THIS WEEK I FILLED THE GAS THE TANK UP AND GAS WAS LEAKING AND COULD NOT PARK IT IN THE GARAGE.
