The Fuel pump tank closing cover (P/N 204-470-04-38) cracked and caused fuel to pool on it. This happens when the tank is above 3/4 full resulting in strong fuel fumes when the car is parked inside. It is likely when parked in a garage to be an explosion hazard due to the fumes. Looking on the user forums and internet this is not an uncommon issue and should be addressed as this design is used on most Mercedes fuel tanks in the 2000's.

Left side boost tube blown twice on my vehicle. Technical part info: 204-528-00-00, Charge Air Hose Both incidents involved sudden loss of power in the middle of the free way driving. First incident: Christmas Day 2018, on the way to Las Vegas from Grand Canyon visit, on highway 93. Fortunately, no vehicle was behind when I lost the power, moved to right lane and continued driving slowly to reach the hotel in LV (about 50 miles at low speeds). Check engine light came on immediately after loosing the power. Next day morning, visited the local Mercedes dealer to repair the vehicle, it costed me $520.19 This was in the middle of a long road trip from Phoenix to San Fransisco. Second incident: July 29th 2021, right after I picked up the vehicle from a repair shop to repair the rear bumper. Vehicle pick up was slow, no check engine light. Next day morning, on the way to work on I-17, vehicle lost the power while merging onto Freeway. Almost got hit a by trailer truck which was right behind me. Moved back to right lane and slowly drove to work. Check engine light came on after few minutes of driving. Took the vehicle to repair on August 6th to a local dealer. This time they didn't charge me for the repair and said it's covered under warranty. I don't have any warranty. Seems like it's a design issue with turbo charge air hose and/or a faulty part. It's a real safety issue if it blown in the middle of driving.

The vehicle was repaired however, after retrieving the vehicle, the contact stated that an abnormal sound was coming from the sunroof. The sunroof glass shattered and glass shards fell onto the contact. The contact then took the vehicle back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the sunroof needed to be replaced.

WE STARTED TO DEVELOP A STRONG SMELL OF GAS INSIDE THE VEHICLE. I STARTED TO RESEARCH ONLINE TO FIND THAT MANY MERCEDES MODELS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, A CRACK DEVELOPS ON A CAP THAT HOUSES THE FUEL PUMP UNDER THE BACK SEAT INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THIS PERMITS GAS FUMES TO ENTER THE VEHICLE, LET ALONE ACTUAL GASOLINE TO COLLECT ABOVE THE CAP AND LEAKING UNDER THE SEAT INSIDE THE VEHICLE. SOME PEOPLE TRY TO JUST PATCH IT WITH EPOXY AND ATTEMPT TO REPLACE PARTS. BUT THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE ONGOING FOR YEARS ON VARIOUS MODELS AND OBVIOUSLY IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION BY THE MANUFACTURER. YOU NEED TO DRIVE WITH THE WINDOWS OPEN AND IF THE VEHICLE IS PARKED OVERNIGHT, YOU CANNOT ENTER THE VEHICLE FOR A LONG TIME IN THE MORNING, UNTIL IT AERATES.

IN DECEMBER 2019 I WAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND THE TRAFFIC WAS BUMPER TO BUMPER. I WAS DRIVING BEHIND A LADY AND WHEN SHE STOPPED I WENT TO PUT MY FEET ON THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR AND MY CAR HIT HER. I HAD MY CAR REPAIRED OF COURSE AND PAID MY DEDUCTIBLE. MY CAR WAS DRIVING PRETTY REGULAR AFTER BEING REPAIRED. THEN IN AUGUST 2020 THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. I WAS DRIVING TO GET ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND AS I WAS ENTERING THE EXPRESSWAY AS I BEGIN TO STOP BECAUSE A CAR WAS IN FRONT OF ME AND MY BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR AGAIN AND I HIT THE DRIVER IN FRONT OF ME. I AM A GOOD DRIVER HAVING DRIVEN A MAIL TRUCK ON MY JOB FOR YEARS AND I NEVER HIT ANYONE BEFORE IN MY LIFE WHILE DRIVING ANY VEHICLE. I JUST WANT TO REPORT MU VEHICLE ISSUE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

SAFETY RISK ACCORDING TO TAKATA, IN THE EVENT OF AN INFLATOR EXPLOSION, METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIR BAG CUSHION MATERIAL, WHICH MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. REMEDY: AN AUTHORIZED MERCEDES-BENZ DEALER WILL REPLACE THE PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG. I HAVE BEEN ASKING ABOUT A REPAIR PART FOR OVER A YEAR AND A HALF WITH NO LUCK. AFTER ACTUALLY READING THE SAFETY RISK, MY WIFE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR ESPECIALLY WITH OUR SON IN IT. I NOW HAVE A CAR SITTING IN MY GARAGE THAT WE DONT FEEL SAFE DRIVING BASED ON THE VERBIAGE AND SERIOUSNESS OF THE RECALL. MERCEDES BENZ SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE AND DELIVER A SOLUTION IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. WITH AN ACTIVE RECALL OF THIS CALIBER THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO WITH THE CAR BUT JUST GARAGE AND THAT SEEMS VERY UNFAIR. EITHER FIX THE ISSUE OR REPURCHASE THE VEHICLE.

THIS VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY UNDER A FORMAL RECALL BY MERCEDES (NHTSA ID# 19V010 - PND TAK PHASE 4). THIS COMPLAINT INVOLVES THE LACK OF TIMELINESS IN RESOLVING & CORRECTING THE ISSUE. THE RECALL LETTER STATES THAT DEPLOYMENT OF THE PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG CAN CAUSE "... SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH." BECAUSE OF THIS WARNING, WE ARE UNABLE TO ACCEPT PASSENGERS AND ARE FORCED TO LIMIT DRIVING THE CAR WITHOUT RISKING HARM (OR DEATH) TO OURSELVES OR OTHERS. THE RECALL NOTIFICATION LETTER WAS RECEIVED IN EARLY 2019, BUT ARE TOLD THAT PARTS NECESSARY FOR THE REPAIR ARE ESTIMATED TO BE AVAILABLE IN THE 3RD QUARTER OF 2020 (~18 MONTHS). FOR THIS EXTENDED TIME, WE ARE EXPECTED TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITHOUT REGARD TO RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH; WHICH IS UNACCEPTABLE TO US. NOT TO MENTION THE DURESS AND ANXIETY PLACED UPON US DURING THIS TIME. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO HURRY OR RUSH ON BEHALF OF MERCEDES, AND THEIR EFFORTS TO BRING THE AIRBAG MANUFACTURER (TAKATA) SEEM NEGLIGENT. WHEN ASKED OF THE POSSIBILITY TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG AT OUR OWN EXPENSE, THE LOCAL SERVICE REP ADVISED US THAT THIS PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. TO CONCLUDE, WE FEEL THIS SITUATION PLACES US AT UNDUE DURESS AND EXTENDED EXPOSURE TO INJURY OR DEATH, SHOULD AN ACCIDENT OCCUR PRIOR TO THE "SCHEDULED" REPAIR.
