While driving on the [XXX] at the speed of 10 to 15miles per hour, I noticed a smoke in the from hood on the passenger side. I felt a danger and stopped the car and got out of the car immediately along with my friend, leaving my belongings phone and other documents etc. Immediately it caught up the fire. I called 911 and reported the incident. Police and Fire engine arrived and tried to stop the fire. I have sent out an email to the dealership as the vehicle is under guaranty and i haven't got any courtesy call to know about the incident. When i tried to call them they didn't even respond to me and hung the phone. I received a call from their sales department and enquiring about if i'm looking for any other vehicle which disappointed me more. I'm in shock and would like this to be investigated as this major security concern. Here is the case# i have logged with manufacturer(Mercedes) Case#:[XXX] CASE#:[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Safety was at risk when the gears switched to neutral while I was driving in car with my children. A recall was completed when bought car was not aware of fuel pumps recall issue. Says completed repair but the car is still having issues and was sold to me without telling me about the recall. First appeared about a week ago. Making a ticking noise, losing power when accelerating.

The car randomly shows an empty tank of gas at the start of the day, when there was a half tank of gas remaining. I filled the gas, but the car did not register any fuel-up and kept showing empty. I took it to the dealer for repair and the fuel tank sensor was replaced under warranty a month ago. Now, this week the same issue reappeared. The car began showing no gas in the tank on a random morning last week and remained driveable for a couple of days. The gas levels reappeared corrected on day #3. Today, 4 days later, the car went back to showing zero gas, and shut off while I was driving on an expressway with my minor child in the car. All of the lights on the dash lit up, and the car stopped. It is immovable. It could have caused a severe or fatal accident and this is totally unacceptable!! This is the third time this issue appears on a brand new car that I’ve had less than a year, with 15k miles.
