Fuel/Propulsion System

My 2022 Mercedes-Benz Metris recently experienced a sudden onset of engine issues, triggering the Check Engine Light. Diagnostic data retrieved from the vehicle (via onboard telematics) revealed the following error codes via onboard OBD GPS Bouncie: P0300: Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected P0301: Cylinder 1 Misfire Detected P0304: Cylinder 4 Misfire Detected Upon professional inspection, a mechanic diagnosed the root cause of these misfires as critically low fuel pressure resulting from a failed low-pressure fuel pump. The mechanic advised that the fuel pump requires immediate replacement. These symptoms (low fuel pressure causing engine misfire and potential stall) align exactly with the safety defect described in NHTSA Recall Campaign #23V881 (and the related #23V444). That recall describes a defect where the fuel pump impeller deforms and meets resistance, causing a drop in fuel delivery and potential loss of motive power. Despite my vehicle being the same model year (2022) and suffering the identical component failure described in the recall documents, my VIN [XXX] ) is currently excluded from the eligibility list. Corrective Action Sought: I request that the NHTSA investigate this failure as evidence that the scope of Recall #23V881 is insufficient. The defective fuel pump components appear to be present in my vehicle's production batch. I request the manufacturer be compelled to expand the recall to cover my VIN for repair and reimbursement.

Recently took my vehicle in to get the brakes check and inspected. Technician at Mercedes Benz noticed a fuel leak in the upper fuel line. We both thought was very odd because the vehicle only has 35k miles on it and the line is visibly in great condition. I did a little research and found that there was a recall for this exact issue. But it seems that my vin wasn’t in the recall. I contacted Mercedes and told me to reach out to you guys. I’ve had multiple issues with Mercedes upon the delivery of my van. It was missing a Hermes module and had parts incorrectly installed. I ordered this van brand new and picked all the options. I have no doubt that my van some how missed this recall due to Mercedes absolute incompetence as I have had to deal with their incompetence to the full extent to the point where corporate actually awarded me a $1000 check to compensate for my bad experience And now they are trying to charge me over $1000 for this fix when it is clearly a recall.. please help. I had actually noticed the gasoline smell in the cockpit and when I exit the vehicle for over a year. When I asked the Mercedes technician about this they told me it was from installing the new fuel pump that had been recalled and that it would go away. (NHTSA Recall #22V134) due to insecure upper and lower fuel hose connections that could cause a fuel leak and a fire hazard. Best Tim

Vehicle moved away backwards after placing vehicle in park. Vehicle is in a repair shop in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Driver's door, door frame, and rear door damage. After placing the vehicle in park following pulling the vehicle forward in drive, I stepped out of the driver's door and the vehicle began moving backwards. I was nearly injured as the open driver's door was bent 180 degrees around as it struck a building support column. I made it partially back into the vehicle, just clearing the door-column squeeze, one leg in and one leg still on the ground trying to get on the brake as I slide past the support column in the drivers foot well. I fell out once past the support column and the vehicle continued to travel backwards another 10 feet or so before striking a tree. The Mercedes Benz dealer in Calgary gave me a copy of a recall notice for Sprinter vans. The dealer informed me Sprinter vans apparently have the same shifter components as the Metris vans. The recall notice was for Sprinter roll-a-way situations following placing Sprinters in park, and do-not sell/drive orders were apparently issued. A police report was taken, but no one has inspected the issue or components. No symptoms or warnings were observed prior to the incident.

The Audio30 multimedia system is so slow to respond it amkes driving the vehicle unsafe. Can this please be investigated.
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.
