VERY STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE FILLS THE GARAGE AND HOUSE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED INSIDE AFTER FUELING TO FULL TANK. THE GASOLINE ODOR IS SO STRONG THAT I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE TO PARK THE VEHICLE IN THE GARAGE BECAUSE OF THE FUMES, AND THE POTENTIAL FOR FIRE

FOR LAST THREE PLUS YEARS, WHENEVER GAS TANK IS FILLED OVER THE 3/4 FULL MARK THERE IS A HEAVY GAS ODOR BUT I HAVE NOT SEEN LEAKING GAS. I ONLY PUT IN LESS THAN 9 GALLONS OF GAS AT A TIME FEARING AN EXPLOSION IN MY GARAGE WHERE WATER HEATER IS LOCATED.

TAKATA RECALL MERCEDES SENT ME A LETTER SAYING MY LOCAL DEALER HAD PARTS TO FIX THE AIRBAG. MY LOCAL MERCEDES DEALER SAID MERCEDES DID NOT SEND THEM ANY PARTS FOR ME. MY CAR IS NOT FIXED AND NOBODY IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE CAR SPENT MOST OF ITS LIFE IN GA ONE OF THE ZONES THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED FIRST. I CANNOT CUT THROUGH THE DISHONESTY WITHOUT HELP.

I WORRY CONSTANTLY ABOUT DRIVING MY CAR WITH DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS AND WORRY ABOUT MY SAFETY. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY IT TAKES ALMOST 2 YEARS TO REPLACE AN ITEM THAT CAN POSSIBLY CAUSE MY DEATH.

THEY HAVE CONFIRMED THE AIRBAGS IN THE CAR ARE THE RECALLED TAKATA AIRBAGS BUT, NO ACTIONS HAVE BEEN TAKEN BY MERCEDES TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION TO THIS RECALL FOR RESOLUTION THUS PLACING MILLIONS IN HARMS WAY AS A RESULT OF INACTION. I WONDER WHAT THE NEWS WOULD THINK OF THIS OR MY ATTORNEY?

RELAY/ FUSE BOX IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT CAUGHT ON FIRE AFTER I DROVE HOME FROM WORK I PARKED AND ENTERED MY HOME. I RETURNED TO MY VEHICLE AND SMELLED A STRONG PLASTIC BURNING SMELL IMMEDIATELY WITH CONCERN OPENED THE HOOD AND FOUND MY RELAY/FUSE BOX AND WIRING FROM UNDER ALL MELTED SEVERELY. CALLED MERCEDES BENS AND TOWED IT RIGHT AWAY. THE DEALER SHIP IS TRYING TO HOLD ME RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGES THAT I STRONGLY BELIEVE IS A FACTORY DEFECT. I NEED HELP IN THIS MATTER

TAKATA RECALL. THE RECALL WAS ISSUED IN FEBRUARY 2016 AND STILL NO REMEDY IS AVAILABLE 17 MONTHS LATER. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO OPERATE MY VEHICLE FOR 17 MONTHS DUE TO THIS UN-RESOLVED ISSUE.

THE CAR STAYS IN FIRST GEAR AND I HAVE TO STOP AND PULL OVER. PUT IT IN PARK AND IT JERKS VERY BADLY GOING INTO PARK. THEN I PULL OFF THE ROAD, STOP, TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON. THEN EVERYTHING GOES BACK TO NORMAL, UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I READ ON-LINE OF MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE AND THERE IS NO RECALL. IMO THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH LOVED ONES IN THIS CAR. MY DEALERSHIP IS REAPIRING THE TRANSMISSION AS I WRITE FOR $1400+. I THOUGHT MERCEDES MEANT HIGH QUALITY/RELIABILITY. AT LEAST THEY CAN ADMIT THEIR MISTAKE AND FIX IT FOR THE PEOPLE SUFFERING BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. MY CAR ONLY HAS 63,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN SERVICED BY THE DEALERSHIP IAW SERVICE MANUAL.

NOTIFIED BY MAIL

THERE ARE ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE AND THE CAR WILL NOT START. THERE'S A CLASS ACTION AGAINST MERCEDES IN REGARDS TO THIS SAME ENGINE ISSUE. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION WHEN IT CUT OFF AND ANOTHER TIME AFTER BEING STATIONARY THE CAR WOULD NOT START. THERE WAS NEVER A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANY SIGNS THAT INDICATED ENGINE ISSUES BEFORE THE ENGINE COMPLETELY FAILED. I ALSO RECEIVED A NOTICE ABOUT MY AIRBAG HAVING A RECALL ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED.

ENGINE STARTED MISFIRING AND LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING UPHILL IN HAWAII THE AND THE CAR WAS NOT ABLE TO DRIVE UP THE HILL IT HAD NO POWER. THERE HAS BEEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT REGARDING THE CAMSHAFT WHICH MERCEDES LOST HOWEVER WHEN I CALLED MERCEDES TO HELP FIX THE ISSUE THEY SAID TIME HAS EXPIRED AND THIS WAS NO LONGER VALID.

WITH FULL TANK, GAS SMELLS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE.

STRONG GASOLINE ORDOR COMING FROM LEFT REAR WHEEL WELL EVERY TIME THE CAR IS REFUELED. THE STRONG ORDOR LINGERS ON FOR 2-3DAYS FILLING THE GARAGE AND HOUSE WITH FULE ORDOR. SEEMS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM AS E CLASS, WHICH IS UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE FUEL ORDOR ISSUE. MB SERVICE REP SAID THAT C CLASS VEHICLES ARE NOT COVERED BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND OWNERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF REPAIR.

GAS FUMES OUTSIDE CAR AFTER REFUELING, PARKED IN GARAGE

76000 ML NICE AND CLEAN BUT, ALL OF THE SUDDEN STRONG SMELL OF THE GASOLINE INSIDE. WHEN DID MY RESEARCH ONLINE FOUND A LOT OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS WITH SAME SYMPTOMS AS WHAT WAS INVESTIGATED ON REPORT# VRTC-DCD-3206 BY NHTSA. UPON FILLING UP THE GAS TANK TO FULL, GAS LEAKS FROM SANDING UNIT UNDER REAR PASSENGER SEAT. CAN NOT UNDERSTAND WHY SAME RECALL IS NOT APPLICABLE TO THE C-CLASS MB, MAKES NO SENSE TO ME AS TO THE OTHERS UNHAPPY MB OWNERS. MY NEXT CAR IS LEXUS, DONE WITH MB

MY 2007 MERCEDES BENZ C230 SPORT CONTINUALLY RELEASES STRONG GASOLINE SMELL AFTER EACH GAS TANK FILL-UP. THIS OCCURRED CONSISTENTLY FOR THE LAST FOUR MONTHS. I'VE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE MERCEDES BENZ DEALERSHIP LOCAL IN MY AREA ONLY FOR THEM TO SAY THERE IS NO REPORTED RECALL OR THE COST TO FIX THIS MATTER IS SIGNIFICANTLY COSTLY. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS MATTER, I DISCOVERED THERE IS A REASONABLE NUMBER OF OWNERS WITH A SIMILAR MODEL AND YEAR THAT HAVE REPORTED THE SAME SERIOUS RISK OF GASOLINE SMELL. EMBEDDED IS A LINK TO THE ONLINE SITE WHERE THESE REPORTINGS ARE CAPTURED. HTTP://M.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/MERCEDES-BENZ/C230/2007/FUEL_SYSTEM/FUEL_PROPULSION_SYSTEM.SHTML DUE TO THE NATURE AND PROBABLE SERIOUS HAZARD OF FUMES EXPOSURE WITHIN THE FAMILY HOUSEHOLD LET ALONE OTHER SIGNIFICANT HEALTH RISK, I'M REQUESTING IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE FROM THE NHTSA TO BRING THIS MATTER TO A RESOLVE. ACCORDING TO PUBLIC DATA, MERCEDES BENZ HAS RECALL NUMEROUS OTHER VEHICLE MODELS FOR THE SAME DEFECT WHICH UNFORTUNATELY DID NOT INCLUDE THE 2007 C230 SPORT MODEL. PLEASE ADVISE.

TAKATA RECALL- I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY NOTICE OF WHEN I CAN GET MY AIRBAGS REPLACED. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AROUND FOR THE BETTER PART A YEAR WITH THESE THINGS STILL IN THERE. WHO'S RESPONSIBLE TO LET ME KNOW? MERCEDES OR SOMEONE ELSE.

AT 115,000 MILES THE VEHICLE STARTED EXPERIENCING ISSUES SHIFTING FROM PARK TO REVERSE OR DRIVE. ONCE IN REVERSE OR DRIVE, IT WON'T SHIFT BACK INTO PARK. THE CAR MUST BE TURNED OFF IN NEUTRAL POSITION OR WAIT UP TO 5 MINUTES BEFORE SHIFTING BACK INTO PARK. ONCE ENGAGED IN REVERSE OR DRIVE THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION'S OPERATION.

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL OF MY CAR IS ANNOUNCING ME TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP TO GET THE AIR BAGS CHECKED BUT I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT HAS A RECALL ON THE AIR BAG . IT HAS BEEN ABOUT A YEAR SICE I HAVE HAD THAT ISSUE AND EVERY TIME I ASK THE DEALERSHIP THE JUST ASK ME TO WAIT UNTIL THEY RECEAVE THE PARTS TO GET THE RECALL DONE

2007 MERCEDES C230 WITH 65661 MILES BEGAN TO LOSE POWER AND NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR. TOWED TO A MERCEDES DEALER WHERE THEY SAID IT WAS A MASS AIR SENSOR AND 1000.00 BILL.
