GAS TANK BAFFLE BROKE LOOSE. AS YOU'RE AWARE, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN THAT SLOSHING OF FUEL BACK AND FORTH AFFECTS THE VEHICLE'S HANDLING IN MANY WAYS. IN DISCUSSING WITH OTHER SL OWNERS INCLUDING THROUGH MERCEDES BENZ WORLD AND BENZ WORLD, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT MERCEDES IS WELL AWARE OF BUT WON'T VOLUNTARILY RECALL THE VEHICLES.

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.
