2010 MERCEDES-BENZ E350 Complaints

STRONG ORDER OF GASOLINE AFTER REFUELING AROUND THE REAR OF CAR AND INSIDE OF VEHICLE. THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL FOR SAME PROBLEM ON 2009 MERCEDES BENZ E350 (REFERENCE TSB NO. P47-10-63) BUT NOT ON 2010 YEAR MODEL? WHY?

FUEL SMELL IS STRONG WHILE STANDING BEHIND AND THE LEFT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE SAME SMELL EXISTS WHETHER THE TANK IS EMPTY OR FULL.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MERCEDES-BENZ E350. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V081000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR.

WHILE DRIVING ON ROAD AT ABOUT 40 MILES , IT WENT INTO PARK AFTER SOME JURKING MOTION AROUND JUNE 13 2018 AROUND 1 PM . WE THOUGHT IT WAS NOTHING SERIOUS, BUT AGAIN IT HAPPENED ON JUNE 21 2018 AT ABOUT 6 30 PM ON CITY ROAD WITH SPEED LIMIT OF 40 MILES ,,, CALLED MERCEDES BENZ DEALER TO REPORT THE ISSUE AND MADE THE APPOINTMENT, .. THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM OR DUPLICATE THE ISSUE FOR MORE THAN A WEEK. I GAVE THEM ALI THE INFORMATION I RECEIVED FROM INTERNET (SEE ATTACHMENT), AND FINALLY THEY ARE TELLING ME THE ISSUE IS WITH ELECTRONIC SWITCH MODULE , WHICH WILL COST ABOUT $ 1500 PLUS TAX . TO US IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPORTED EARLIER BY OTHER DRIVERS TOO , AND SHOULD BE FIXED WITH OUT CHARGE. 4 PM TO 7 PM COMING FROM WORK IS ALWAYS A HEAVY TRAFFIC ISSUE , IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE , HAD IT BEEN HIT BY OTHER VEHICLES.

TAKATA RECALL. MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED OUR MERCEDES BENZ 18 JULY 2017 AND WERE REQUIRED TO SIGN A DOCUMENT STATED THAT WE UNDERSTOOD THAT THE TAKATA AIR BAG WAS UNDER RECALL BUT HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE PURCHASE. THE DEALER SHIP AND MERCEDES BENZ WEB SITE ESTIMATED THE REPAIR WOULD TAKE PLACE IN MARCH 2018. DURING MARCH 2018 I CHECKED WITH MY LOCAL DEALER AND THE MERCEDES BENZ WEB SITE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE REPAIRS WOULD TAKE PLACE IN JUNE 2018. AGAIN, AT THE END OF JUNE 2018 I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY HAD NO INFORMATION ON THE RECALL REPAIR DATE. I CONTACTED MERCEDES BENZ AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE REPAIR DATE IS NOW DECEMBER 2018. I HAVE INFORMED MERCEDES BENZ, IN WRITING, THAT THE AIR BAG RECALL IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. THE MANUFACTURER #: 2018030011 THE NHTSA RECALL #: 16V081 THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE.

THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTS ITSELF INTO PARK AT SPEEDS BELOW 5MILES PER HOUR. IT DOES THIS WHEN THE CAR IS VERY HOT. IT LITERARILY PUTS ITSELF INTO PARK WHILE THE CAR IS STILL MOVING.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE MADE NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO HAVE MY TAKATA AIRBAGS REPLACED, ONLY TO BE TOLD BY MERCEDES THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO SPEED THIS FIX UP. I HAVE A 16 YEAR OLD SON THAT HAS STARTED TO DRIVE. I NEED THIS ISSUE FIXED IMMEDIATELY. MERCEDES IS DRAGGING THEIR FEET. I COULD HAVE MY CAR IN THE SHOP TODAY IF THEY WERE WILLING TO FIX IT.

MERCEDES KEEPS EXTENDING THE DATE TO REPLACE MY AIR BAGS. THEY SAY THAT CAN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THE BAGS AREN'T AVAILABLE. HOW ARE THE STILL MAKING NEW CARS WITH AIRBAGS IF MY AREN'T AVAILABLE FOR REPLACEMENT? THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE THE RECALL FIRST CAME OUT.

GAS LEAK SMELL COMING FROM DRIVER SIDE REAR OF THE CAR. CAR ONLY HAS 40,000 MILES. I BELIEVE MY CAR HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS WITH OTHER MERCEDES CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT "2003-09 MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS, 2006-11 CLS-CLASS FUEL ODOR". PLEASE REOPEN THE INVESTIGATION TO INCLUDE E350 2010 MODEL AS WELL.
