2010 Mercedes-Benz E350 complaints

MERCEDES DEALER INSPECTED THE CAR. FOUND THE REAR SUB-FRAME SEVERELY RUSTED AT WELDS. HE ADVISED THIS WAS AN UNSAFE CONDITION AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED SOON. SERVICE WRITER SAID THIS WAS AN UNSAFE CONDITION. ONE OF THE WELDS IS ALMOST COMPLETELY FAILING. THERE IS AN ACTUAL SAFETY HAZARD IF THE SUBFRAME FAILS COMPLETELY. THIS CONDITION HAS BEEN OCCURRING OVER A PERIOD OF YEARS. THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. IT HAS BEEN WELL REPORTED ON MANY INTERNET SITES.

STRONG FUEL VAPOR ODOR FROM VEHICLE WHEN MORE THAN 3/4 FULL. RESIDUE ON TOP OF FUEL SYSTEM COMPONENTS UNDER REAR SEATS. STILL PRESENT AFTER REPLACING FUEL FILTER, PLASTIC SEAL-RETAINING RING AND BOTH SEALS. RECALL FOR FUEL SYSTEM ISSUED ONE MODEL YEAR PRIOR AND ONE MODEL YEAR AFTER.

IF I'M COMING TO A STOP AT A LIGHT OR A STOP SIGN, THE CAR THROWS ITSELF INTO PARK BEFORE I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. IT HAS HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY. IT HAPPENS IN SPEEDS OF LESS THAN 5MPH. WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. THERE ISN'T A SPECIFIC TEMPERATURE OR TIME OF DAY WHEN IT OCCURS. IT JUST HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE ALSO READ A TECH SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS ISSUE FOR OTHER MERCEDES OWNERS.

THE CONTACT SHIFTED THE VEHICLE INTO DRIVE TO MOVE FORWARD AFTER THE TRAFFIC LIGHT CHANGED. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE BACK TO HER RESIDENCE.

THERE IS A STRONG FUEL SMELL AFTER WE FILL UP GAS. THE SMELL IS STRONG ENOUGH THAT WE CANNOT PUT THE CAR IN GARAGE BECAUSE OF THE FUMES ENTERING THE HOUSE WHEN WE OPEN THE GARAGE DOOR.

SEATS TORN IN SEAM FOR A WHILE . STARTED WITH A SMALL CRACK AND EVENTUALLY GREW OVER YEARS . MERCEDES NEEDS TO DO BETTER , THIS SEAMS TO BE COMMON WITH YOUR CARS

THE VEHICLE IS PUTTING ITSELF INTO PARK WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN AND GET TO ABOUT 2-3 M.P.H. *TR

MANY OF US E CLASS OWNERS EXPERIENCE FUEL SMELL COMING FROM TOP OF FUEL PUMP UNDER REAR SEAT. MANY COMPLAINTS ON VARIOUS BLOGS ABOUT THIS FUEL SMELL LEAK ISSUE. DANGEROUS! OBVIOUSLY PLASTIC GASKET AND SEALING ISSUES! VERY PREVALENT! *TR

HAVE A FUEL LEAK FROM PASSENGER SIDE SENDING UNIT. SEEMS LIKE IT IS CRACKED. I CANNOT FILL THE TANK OR A MASSIVE LEAK.

MERCEDES BENZ KNOWS THAT THEIR CAR DOOR PANELING HAS A DEFECTIVE PROBLEM AND WILL FALL OFF. THEY ARE IGNORING MY CONCERN AND REFUSE TO PAY FOR IT. I LAST WEEK I CALLED 800-367-6372 AND SPOKE WITH A LIVE MB REPRESENTATIVE VIA THE PHONE REGARDING CASE NUMBER: 2-2940129122. TODAY, 12/30/2019, CUSTOMER ADVOCATE MANAGER, DARRELL WITH NO LAST NAME CALLED ME FROM PHONE 800-367-6372 EXT 4632 AND ADVISED THAT HE COULD NOT ASSIST. EXECUTIVE REFERRAL MANAGER: SERVICE MANAGER CASE NUMBER: 2-2940129122 PHONE: 800-367-6372 EXT 4632 I AM VERY CONCERNED AS BOTH OF THE DOORS ON MY COUPE ARE HAVING THE TRIM TO COME OFF OF THE CAR. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT WITH THE CAR DOOR PANEL CLIPS. DARREL ADMITTED THAT HE IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE, BUT LACKED THE AUTHORITY DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE ISSUE. I REALIZE THAT THE CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THIS IS HORRIBLE. I HAVE SEEN TWO OTHER CARS AT MY DEALERSHIP WITH THE SAME TROUBLE AND GETTING THEIR PANELS REPAIRED. I SPOKE WITH THE RBM OF ALPHARETTA MANAGER, CRAIG AND THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE TOBIAS AND THEY ADVISED THAT THE REPAIR WOULD BE AROUND $1,020 PER DOOR. (EACH DOOR HAS TWO PIECES OF TRIM - 207-720-22-22-2A02 FOR THE LARGER TRIM AT THE COST OF $350.45 AND THE SAME FOR THE LABOR. THEN THE SMALLER PIECE OF TRIM UNDER PART NUMBER 207-720-20-22-64-2A04 AT THE COST OF $135.15 AN D THE LABOR WOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL $135.15. SO THE PASSENDER DOOR WOULD COST $971.20 PLUS TAX OR $1039.18 FOR EACH DOOR. FOR THE TOTAL REPAIR FOR THE TRIM ON BOTH DOORS EQU

FUEL ODOR AFTER REFUELING TO FULL TANK, GAS ODOR ONLY WHEN OUTSIDE OF CAR. NO GAS ODOR AFTER FUEL LEVEL HAS DROPPED ABOUT 1/8TH (7/8TH STILL IN TANK). CAN VISSIBLY SEE FUEL ON OUTSIDE OF GAS TANK (WET AND STRONG GAS ODOR) WHEN LOOKING AT FUEL TANK VIA REAR PASSENGER WHEEL WELL.

SMELL GAS FROM MY CAR. GAS LEAK. SMELL GAS WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED OR DRIVEN.

TOOK MY CAR TO MERCEDES BENZ OF CHICAGO ON 2 OCCASIONS FOR THE RECALL. THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG THAT WAS RECALLED UNLESS I GET THE SEATBELT RETRACTOR FIXED WHICH WAS $600. THEY ALSO TRIED TO GET ME TO LOOK AT NEWER VEHICLES TO PURCHASED. I FEEL LIKE THEY WERE TRYING TO GET ME TO SPEND MONEY ON LABOR FOR OTHER THINGS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO GET RECALL DONE. I ALSO DIDN'T LIKE THE FACT THAT THEY KEPT MY CAR OVERNIGHT AND MADE SALES CALLS TO ME.

TAKATA RECALL. I THOUGHT THE REPAIR HAS BEEN DONE. SO, WHY THIS NOTICE?

WHEN ACCELERATING HARD, THE CAR LOOSES ALL POWER AND GOES INTO 'LIMP MODE'. THIS IS A EXTREMELY DANGEROUS POSITION TO BE IN. IF YOU'RE ON THE HIGHWAY WITH A CEMENT WALL RIGHT NEXT TO YOU AND EVERYONE IS GOING WELL OVER 80 AND YOU LOOSE ALL POWER, YOU'RE A SITTING DUCK. THERE IS NO WAY TO MAKE IT ACROSS 4-6 LANES TO PULL OVER, TURN OFF THE CAR AND WAIT 20 SECONDS TO RESET AND START AGAIN. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ON FORUMS AND MERCEDES IS DENYING THE ISSUE. IT'S A WELL KNOWN ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 4 YEARS NOW AND NO HELP FROM MERCEDES. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES WITH THE FIRST TIME HAPPENING IN 2015.

TAKATA RECALL IN DEC 2017 I WAS NOTIFIED THAT MY AIRBAG INITIATORS REQUIRED REPLACEMENT AND PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE BY MARCH 31,2018. ACCORDING TO MERCEDES THEY HAVE NO IDEA AS OF TODAY (10/22/2018) WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. I HAVE INTENTIONALLY AVOIDED DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR ALMOST ONE YEAR BECAUSE OF THE HAZARD THAT EXISTS WITH THE AIRBAG. ( I HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE LESS THAN 1500 MILES SINCE LAST DECEMBER) THIS SITUATION IS UNSATISFACTORY. MY PATIENCE HAS ENDED. OTHER THAN SELLING THE VEHICLE, WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS NOW ?

STRONG ORDER OF GASOLINE AFTER REFUELING AROUND THE REAR OF CAR AND INSIDE OF VEHICLE. THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL FOR SAME PROBLEM ON 2009 MERCEDES BENZ E350 (REFERENCE TSB NO. P47-10-63) BUT NOT ON 2010 YEAR MODEL? WHY?

FUEL SMELL IS STRONG WHILE STANDING BEHIND AND THE LEFT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE SAME SMELL EXISTS WHETHER THE TANK IS EMPTY OR FULL.

WHILE DRIVING ON ROAD AT ABOUT 40 MILES , IT WENT INTO PARK AFTER SOME JURKING MOTION AROUND JUNE 13 2018 AROUND 1 PM . WE THOUGHT IT WAS NOTHING SERIOUS, BUT AGAIN IT HAPPENED ON JUNE 21 2018 AT ABOUT 6 30 PM ON CITY ROAD WITH SPEED LIMIT OF 40 MILES ,,, CALLED MERCEDES BENZ DEALER TO REPORT THE ISSUE AND MADE THE APPOINTMENT, .. THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM OR DUPLICATE THE ISSUE FOR MORE THAN A WEEK. I GAVE THEM ALI THE INFORMATION I RECEIVED FROM INTERNET (SEE ATTACHMENT), AND FINALLY THEY ARE TELLING ME THE ISSUE IS WITH ELECTRONIC SWITCH MODULE , WHICH WILL COST ABOUT $ 1500 PLUS TAX . TO US IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPORTED EARLIER BY OTHER DRIVERS TOO , AND SHOULD BE FIXED WITH OUT CHARGE. 4 PM TO 7 PM COMING FROM WORK IS ALWAYS A HEAVY TRAFFIC ISSUE , IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE , HAD IT BEEN HIT BY OTHER VEHICLES.

TAKATA RECALL. MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED OUR MERCEDES BENZ 18 JULY 2017 AND WERE REQUIRED TO SIGN A DOCUMENT STATED THAT WE UNDERSTOOD THAT THE TAKATA AIR BAG WAS UNDER RECALL BUT HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE PURCHASE. THE DEALER SHIP AND MERCEDES BENZ WEB SITE ESTIMATED THE REPAIR WOULD TAKE PLACE IN MARCH 2018. DURING MARCH 2018 I CHECKED WITH MY LOCAL DEALER AND THE MERCEDES BENZ WEB SITE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE REPAIRS WOULD TAKE PLACE IN JUNE 2018. AGAIN, AT THE END OF JUNE 2018 I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY HAD NO INFORMATION ON THE RECALL REPAIR DATE. I CONTACTED MERCEDES BENZ AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE REPAIR DATE IS NOW DECEMBER 2018. I HAVE INFORMED MERCEDES BENZ, IN WRITING, THAT THE AIR BAG RECALL IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE MADE NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO HAVE MY TAKATA AIRBAGS REPLACED, ONLY TO BE TOLD BY MERCEDES THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO SPEED THIS FIX UP. I HAVE A 16 YEAR OLD SON THAT HAS STARTED TO DRIVE. I NEED THIS ISSUE FIXED IMMEDIATELY. MERCEDES IS DRAGGING THEIR FEET. I COULD HAVE MY CAR IN THE SHOP TODAY IF THEY WERE WILLING TO FIX IT.

CAR SHIFTING FROM DRIVE OR REVERSE INTO PARK ON IT'S OWN

MERCEDES KEEPS EXTENDING THE DATE TO REPLACE MY AIR BAGS. THEY SAY THAT CAN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THE BAGS AREN'T AVAILABLE. HOW ARE THE STILL MAKING NEW CARS WITH AIRBAGS IF MY AREN'T AVAILABLE FOR REPLACEMENT? THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE THE RECALL FIRST CAME OUT.

GAS LEAK SMELL COMING FROM DRIVER SIDE REAR OF THE CAR. CAR ONLY HAS 40,000 MILES. I BELIEVE MY CAR HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS WITH OTHER MERCEDES CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT "2003-09 MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS, 2006-11 CLS-CLASS FUEL ODOR". PLEASE REOPEN THE INVESTIGATION TO INCLUDE E350 2010 MODEL AS WELL.

AT 5 YEARS MY FRONT HEATED SEATS STOPPED WORKING AND THE DRIVERS SEAT RIPPED ACROSS WHERE I THOUGHT THERE WAS A SEAM. AFTER RESEARCHING OTHER 2010 E350'S WITH MB TECH SEATS, THEY ALL APPEAR TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. I HAVE CONTACTED MBUSA MANY TIMES IN THE PAST 3 YEARS AND HAVE RECEIVED NO ANSWER OR SOLUTION. IF YOU ALSO LOOK AT ADS OF THESE VEHICLES FOR SALE BY OWNER, YOU WILL SEE THE SAME ISSUE. THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO DRIVE THIS CAR ARE; ME AND I'M 135LBS AND MY MOTHER 93LBS, SO WE ARE NOT OVER WEIGHT AND PUTTING EXTRA STRESS ON THE SEATS. THIS CAR HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGED. WHEN PARKED IN A LOT FOR SHOPPING, SHADES ON THE WINDOWS ARE ALWAYS USED. I CAN PROVIDE PHOTOS, BUT NOT FROM THE COMPUTER I'M USING.

THE VEHICLE EMIT A FUEL ODOR FROM THE REAR. THIS IS DUE TO FUEL LEAKS COMING FROM THE GAS TANK ASSEMBLY. MERCEDES BENZ HAD THESE ISSUE FROM 2003 TO 2009 E CLASS. MY CAR MAKE IS 2010- E350 HAVING THE ABOVE PROBLEM BESIDES TAKATA AIR BAG. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS? THE DEALER DOESN'T CARE OF THE ISSUE. WILL BENZ RESOLVE THE ISSUE ?

I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 MERCEDES E350 SEDAN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, WHEN OUT OF NOWHERE THE SUNROOF JUST SHATTERS INTO PIECES. THERE WAS NO LARGE OBJECT THAT CAME TOWARDS ME. I HAD MY SCREEN PULLED OVER, SO THANKFULLY MOST OF THE GLASS DIDN'T COME IN THE CAR. I PULLED OVER TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED AND CALLED THE TOLL ROAD AUTHORITY. THEY SUMMONED AN OFFICER TO HELP ME. THE OFFICER SEARCHED THE AREA OF THE FREEWAY FOR ANY OBJECT THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS, AND FOUND NOTHING. AT CLOSER INSPECTION HE AND I NOTICED THAT GLASS BOWED OUTWARD AND NO MAJOR BODY DAMAGE BEHIND THE SUNROOF INDICATED THAT NO OBJECT CAUSED THIS. I THEN WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THIS SPONTANEOUS SHATTERING ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO HAPPEN ON ITS OWN. I WAS TOLD PERHAPS IT'S A 'PEBBLE' AND THEY WOULD GIVE ME A QUOTE TO FIX THIS WITH THEM. I AM CONVINCED THAT THIS SHATTERED...IN FACT EXPLODED (THAT'S HOW IT SOUNDED) BY ITSELF AND WAS A DEFECTIVE GLASS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AS I AM RELIEVED I DIDN'T HAVE MY TODDLER IN THE BACK SEAT WITH THE SUNROOF SCREEN OPEN FOR MORE LIGHT, ONLY FOR IT TO HAVE SHATTERED AND BEEN ALL OVER HIM BECAUSE OF THE WIND DIRECTION!

'PRE-SAFE INOPERABLE' - COMMAND CONTROL SYSTEM BEFORE MOVED TO AZ, MERCEDES DEALERSHIP IN WILKES-BARRE, PA KEPT OUR CAR FOR A COUPLE DAYS AFTER REPORTING PROBLEMS WITH RADIO, NAVIGATION, CONTROL SYSTEM AND CHARGED US FOR A SUPPOSEDLY FIXED PROBLEMS.

IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE CAR WAS STATIONARY OR MOVING, THE SCREEN WILL JUST SHUTS OFF AND MESSAGE ON THE DASH BOARD ' PRE-SAFE INOPERABLE' WILL NEVER GO AWAY. IT'S BEEN SITTING IN THE GARAGE SINCE BECAUSE WE ARE CONCERN OF OUR SAFETY.

DURING COLD ENGINE STARTING, A KNOCKING CAN BE HEARD IN THE ENGINE. THE KNOCKING LASTS APPROXIMATELY EIGHT ROTATIONS, AND THEN STOPS.

MY CAR IS EMITTING A STRONG GASOLINE ODOR NEAR THE REAR OF THE CAR AND THIS WHETHER THE CAR IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION.

LOCAL DEALERSHIP WAS CONTACTED REGARDING RECALL. I WAS INFORMED THAT "THE PARTS ARE NOT IN" AND "YOU WILL BE CONTACTED WHEN WE RECEIVE THE PARTS". THIS ENTRY IS FOR DOCUMENTATION PURPOSES.

AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR MORE THAN ONE HOUR THE CAR WILL AUTOMATICALLY SHIFT INTO PARK WHEN SPEED IS BELOW 6MPH.

AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR THE ENGINE WILL NOT STOP WHEN USING KEYLESS GO FEATURE.

THE ELECTRONIC KEY FAILS TO RECOGNIZE KEY. VEHICLE DOES NOT START, DOES NOT TURN OFF ONCE STARTED, AND TRANSMISSION SHIFTS TO PARK (P) AT SPEEDS BELOW 6MPH. THIS OCCURED WHILE DRIVING INTO DRIVEWAY AT SHOPPING CENTER, PARKING SPOT, AND MULTIPLE TIMES IN RESTRAUNT PARKING LOT. IT ALSO OCCURED AT A STOP SIGN ANS STOP LIGHT. THE START STOP ISSUE HAS BEEN OCCURING FOR AT LEAST ONE YEAR, DESPITE DEALER SERVICE AND THE SHIFT TO PARK ISSUE BEGAN A FEW WEEKS BACK.
