2016 MERCEDES-BENZ METRIS Complaints

I HAD THE 2016 FUEL LINE RECALL REPAIRED IN COCONUT FL BY THE MERCEDES DEALER - HOWEVER I CAN STILL SMELL GAS FUEL FUMES WHEN STANDING OUTSIDE THE STATIONARY DRIVERS DOOR. IT SMELLS JUST LIKE IT DID BEFORE THE RECALL REPAIR. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO TO REMEDY THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE. THIS HAS CONTINUED FOR OVER A MONTH FOLLOWING THE RECALL REPAIR. IT IS NOW JUNE 2019 IT SCARES ME TO DRIVE IT. PLEASE CALL AND TELL ME WHAT TO DO. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN GREEENVILLE, SC - MY SUMMER HOME AND IS CLOSEST TO THE DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM IN CHARLOTTE NC. MY PHONE IS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHEN DRIVING OVER CATTLE GRATES ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. FIRST TIME LOSS OF POWER STEERING AT 55MPH ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY AND SECOND TIME LOSS OF POWER STEERING AT 30MPH WHEN ENTERING A FREEWAY ON-RAMP. AN ERROR MESSAGE DISPLAYS ON THE SCREEN 'POWER STEERING MALFUNCTION SEE OWNERS MANUAL'. ON BOTH OCCASIONS WE PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION, AND WAITED A COUPLE OF MINUTES. AFTER WAITING A COUPLE MINUTES, WE INSERTED THE KEY AND STARTED THE ENGINE TO FIND THE POWER STEERING ERROR MESSAGE WAS GONE AND POWER STEERING WAS RESTORED TO A FULLY FUNCTIONAL STATE. THE FIRST AND SECOND LOSS OF POWER STEERING WERE SEPARATED BY A FEW DAYS AND AROUND 500 MILES.

THE VEHICLE WEARS THE OUTER EDGES OF THE FRONT TIRES PREMATURELY POTENTIALLY CAUSING DANGEROUS HANDLING. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED BY MANY 2016 METRIS OWNERS.

THE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR PROVIDES INADEQUATE VISIBILITY TO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE MIRROR DOES NOT APPEAR TO HAVE ANY CONVEX OR IMAGE SIZE ALTERING PROPERTIES TO IMPROVE BLIND SPOT VISIBILITY AS MOST VEHICLES DO.

STRONG GAS SMELL INSIDE VEHICLE AND GAS LEAKS OUT ON GROUND. RISK OF FIRE IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MOST WHEN WARMING IT UP OR AFTER PARKING IT.

THERE IS A MILD TO STRONG ODOR OF RAW GASOLINE WHEN I START THE CAR IN THE MORNING. IT SEAMS STRONGER WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS COLD . I HAVE DONE A CURSORY SEARCH AND HAVE FOUND THIS COMPLAINT FROM OTHER METRIS OWNERS AS WELL AS OTHER MB MODELS

STRONG GAS SMELL IN THE MORNINGS AFTER IT SITS OVERNIGHT IN MY GARAGE, ESPECIALLY ON COLD NIGHTS. IT GETS TRIGGERED WHEN WE OPEN A DOOR AND THE AIR STARTS CIRCULATING (BEFORE CAR IS TURNED ON). IT STARTED LAST WINTER AND IS HAPPENING STILL. I'M GETTING A LITTLE LIGHT-HEADED SOME MORNINGS, ESPECIALLY WHEN I CAN'T OPEN THE WINDOWS (LIKE WHEN IT'S RAINING)

THERE IS A FUEL LEAK IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. MERCEDES REPLACED THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP UNDER WARRANTY, BUT IT'S LEAKING SOMEWHERE ELSE AND IT'S NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. IT'S AN EMISSIONS ISSUE(RAW FUEL LEAK) AND A FIRE HAZARD. CHECKING THE INTERNET IT SEEMS THIS IS VERY COMMON PROBLEM W/O A COMMON CURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 MERCEDES-BENZ METRIS. THE CONTACT NOTICED A STRONG FUEL ODOR INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE DURING COOLER WEATHER. AFTER THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE FOR AWHILE, THE ODOR WENT AWAY. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000. *TT*JB

THE VEHICLE HAS A STRONG SMELL OF GAS. I TOOK IT FOR THE SERVICE AT MERCEDES BENZ IN OXNARD AND THEY SAID THERE WAS FUEL LEAKING. I STILL HAVE NO UPDATE ON MY VEHICLE AFTER A WEEK OF LEAVING MY CAR AT THEIR SHOT. NO ONE HAS CALLED ME TO UPDATED WAS GOING ON TO MY CAR. I NEED MY CAR FIX. PLEASE HELP ME.
