Example complaints
Fuel system: “Filled auto with fuel for first time and drove home, parked in the garage and started to smell gas fumes from driver's side passenger seat area. Learned that there is NHTSA action number: pe12001 pertaining to e55 which was previous year model to mine. Threat of fire under where my child sits is unacceptable. My early model e63 with same fuel issues should be covered. Please cover this model and model year as well!”
NHTSA complaint #10525801, filed 2013-07, 53,200 milesExterior lighting: “Several tail lamps quit working. I had a warning on the car display listing numerous lights on the trunk inoperative. The license plate lamp, 3rd brake light, and the auto open and close of the trunk were inoperative. Also, the emergency trunk release function inside the trunk would not light up and would not open the trunk. I searched a mb web forum to see if anyone else had the same problem. There are numerous cars from several year groups that are having the same problem. I traced the problem to 1 broken wire in a wiring bundle attached to the left hinge of the trunk. …”

Using the paddle shifter I then proceeded to downshift the transmission to 1st gear to pull away from stop. Car remained in automatic mode, but was not shifting out of gear. Cluster displays automatic comfort mode, but would not leave from what it seems 2nd gear. Stop engine and restart car, drive around and car will not shift out of gear. …”
