MERCEDES DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THE REAR MAIN SEAL OF MY AUTOMOBILE IS LEAKING AND COULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THEY HAVE REFUSED TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY VIOLATION. THEY HAVE TO PULL THE ENGINE TO CORRECT IT. THIS LEAKAGE COULD CAUSE A FIRE CAUSING LOSS OF LIFE. I WAS INFORMED THE DEALER WOULD REPAIR THIS FOR ANYONE DRIVING A 2014 DIESEL AUTO. SINCE LESS THEN 3% OF CARS ARE DIESEL POWERED THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A WAY FOR MERCEDES TO AVOID REPAIRS. THEY STARTED REPAIRING THIS PROBLEM IN DIESEL CARS BEFORE MY WARRANTY EXPIRED. I HAVE BROUGHT MY MERCEDES IN FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE CHECKS. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE COMPANY IS TRYING TO AVOID LOSSES RATHER THAN REPAIRING SAFETY PROBLEMS. MY AUTO WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW. I AM WORRIED ABOUT MY LIFE AND MY CHILDREN. THIS IS GROSS NEGLIGENCE AND COULD LEAD TO LOSS OF LIFE IF NOT CORRECTED.

I HAVE HAD 6 BLOW OUTS OR BUMPS IN MY TIMES IN 2.5 YEARS WITH THESE CONTIPROCONTACT 245/40 R 18 97V TIRES IN NORMAL, URBAN DRIVING. THE REP AT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE TIRES AND HE DOES NOT RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE. THE MOST RECENT BLOWOUT HAPPENED WITH I WAS DRIVING 40 MPH AND I DID NOT HIT A POTHOLE OR BUMP. THAT TIRE WAS ONLY 3 MONTHS OLD WHEN IT BLEW. IN THE PREVIOUS 10 YEARS, I HAD 2 BLOW OUTS ON MY PREVIOUS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE
