TAKAYUKI RECALL. I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED BY MERCEDES BENZ (MB) OF THIS RECALL BUT IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. MB HAS SENT ME MULTIPLE DATES FOR THE RECALL FIX BUT HAVE ALWAYS EXTENDED THOSE DATES. THE LAST FIX DATE WAS SEPT 2018 BUT THEIR RECALL WEB SITE NOW STATES THE FIX DATE IS SEPT 2019. THIS IS 3 YEARS PAST NOTIFICATION AND I AM UNABLE TO TRADE OR SELL THIS CAR DUE TO IT BEING UNDER THIS RECALL. OTHER CAR MANUFACTURERS HAVE CORRECTED THIS PROBLEM AND ADVISED THEIR CUSTOMERS NOT TO DRIVE THEIR CARS UNTIL THEY WERE FIXED. I CONTINUE TO HAVE TO RELY ON MY CAR AS I AM NOW RETIRED AND HAVE NO OTHER OPTION. 3 YEARS OF DRIVING A CAR THAT THE SALES MANAGER FOR MERCEDES BENZ CALLED A "DEATH TRAP" IS 3 YEARS TOO LONG. WHY HAVE OTHER CAR MANUFACTURERS COMPLETED THEIR RECALL AND NOT MB? DO I HAVE TO DIE BEFORE I GET THIS RECALL FIXES? WHAT IS THIS AGENCY GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS REDICULOUS AMOUNT OF TIME?

Lately, everytime I filled up the gas tank, I can smell gas from the rear left area. After some time when the tank is maybe a little over half the smell is gone. I assume there is a leak somewhere from the fill pipe to the tank. Maybe a bad rubber connector, gasket/seal failure? The vehicle has never been involved in any crash. Normal usage. Low mileage. Should this be covered by MB warranty at no cost to the owner? Thank you.

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY MERCEDES GLK 350 WITH FUEL THERE IS A VERY STRONG ODOR OF FUEL IN MY GARAGE AFTER I PARK THE CAR. THERE IS NO VISIBLE LEAK OF FUEL ON THE GARAGE FLOOR OR NOTIFICATION OF ANY ISSUE ON THE DASHBOARD. THE STRONG FUEL ORDER GOES AWAY AFTER DRIVING THE CAR AND BURNING OFF A GALLON OR SO. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY AND HEALTH ISSUE THAT STARTED FEW WEEKS AGO AND IS OF A BIG CONCERN TO ME AND TO MY FAMILY.

OUR CAR HAS DEVELOPED A SERIOUS FUEL LEAK ON THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR. WHEN THE TANK IS FILLED TO CAPACITY, OR NEAR CAPACITY, A SERIOUS GASOLINE ODOR DEVELOPS. THE OTHER NIGHT WHEN WE DISCOVERED THIS PROBLEM, OUR ENTIRE HOME BECAME ENGULFED IN THESE FUMES AND WE HAD TO REMOVE THE CAR FROM THE GARAGE AND PUT IT OUT ON THE STREET. ALSO, WHEN WE MOVED THE CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE, WE NOTICED GASOLINE WAS DRIPPING FROM UNDER THE CAR AND FORMED TRAIL OF GAS ALL THE WAY OUT INTO THE STREET. THE LEAK IS CAUSED BY A FAULTY FUEL FILTER/FILTER HOUSING. THIS PARTICULAR PART IS WHAT WAS RECALLED AND REPLACED BY MERCEDES BENZ IN THE 20011 AND 2012 MODEL YEARS. OUR CAR IS A MODEL YEAR 2010, BUT IT HAS THE SAME FUEL FILTER (PART #2214700390 FROM AUTOHAUS AZ)) AND IF YOU SHOP FOR A NEW ONE, YOU CAN SEE IT IS THE SAME FOR THE YEARS 2010 THRU 2012. THE FUEL FILTER IS AT THE TOP OF THE TANK AND CAN EASILY BE REPLACED BY REMOVING THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER SEAT. HOWEVER, THE ODOR AND FUMES AT TIMES WILL ENTER THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE, AND IF THE CAR IS PARKED ON AN INCLINE, LEANING FROM RIGHT TO LEFT, I AM SURE GAS CAN TRAVEL ACROSS THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND OVER THE HOT EXHAUST.

THE VEHICLE IS A MERCEDES BENZ DEALERSHIP IN RALEIGH, NC ON CAPITAL BLVD BECAUSE IT WILL NOT START. THERE'S A STEERING LOCK PROBLEM AND I WAS TOLD THAT ONLY CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS IS COVERED FOR THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL. MY VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000 MILES. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE SAME RECALL (STARTED JAN 25, 2019) BEING IT'S HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AT THE SAME TIME AS THE OTHER VEHICLES. THE VEHICLE WAS AT CAPITAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD IT TOWED TO MERCEDES BENZ DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD IT WOULDN'T START. CAPITAL CHEVROLET SAID THAT THE MERCEDES DEALERSHIP SAID IT COULD HAPPEN AT ANYTIME AND ANYWHERE. I WAS TOLD THE COST IS ON ME. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THERES A RECALL ON MY YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL BUT NOT MY VEHICLE WHICH IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE SAME ISSUE. CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN WHY THIS VERY LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND MYSELF AND MY GRANDCHILDREN COULD LOSE OUR LIVES IF IT HAPPENED WITH US WHILE OCCUPYING THE VEHICLE, WHO WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RECALL AND OUR LIVES?

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE BEEN WAITING OVER 3 YEARS FOR THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS IN MY VEHICLE TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF TIME TO WAIT FOR THE REPAIR OF SUCH A DANGEROUS SAFETY PROBLEM. THOUGH TAKATA MADE THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG, MERCEDES BENZ SOLD THE VEHICLE AND SHOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR REPAIRING THE DEFECT IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. THAT TIME HAS ALREADY PASSED. IN A RECENT LETTER MERCEDES INDICATED THAT "[MY] SAFETY IS OF UTMOST CONCERN TO MERCEDES BENZ".

"TAKATA RECALL" THE FIRST RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE #16V081 WAS DATED 02/11/2016. I RECEIVED RECALL NOTICES IN 2016/2017 WHICH I HAVE SINCE DESTROYED THAT SAID PARTS WERE EXPECTED IN 2017. I RECEIVED A 3RD NOTICE IN DEC 2017 STATING I WAS PRIORITY GROUP 4 WITH PARTS EXPECTED IN MAR 2108. THAT WAS FOLLOWED BY ONE IN JAN 2108 CHANGING ME TO PRIORITY GROUP 6 WITH EXPECTED PARTS IN SEPT 2018. TODAY I RECEIVED ANOTHER NOTICE, FEB 2019, CHANGING IT FROM A NHTSA RECALL TO A MBUSA RECALL # 2019010001 - PHASE 4, WITH NO EXPECTED PARTS DATE, BUT THEIR WEBSITE SAYS SEP 2019. THIS RECALL WAS ALMOST 3 YEARS AGO AND MERCEDES BENZ SEEMS TO BE DRAGGING THEIR FEET. WHAT DOES THE GOVERNMENT CONSIDER A "REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME"? MERCEDES BENZ IS MAKING AND SELLING CARS EVERYDAY WITH OK AIRBAGS. WHY IS THE GOVERNMENT ALLOWING ME TO DRIVE EVERYDAY WITH A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG THAT MAY CAUSE A DEATH AND ALLOW MERCEDES BENZ TO PUT THIS OFF?.
