Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“While vehicle was stationary in garage, we began noticing a profuse gas/fuel smell. It became increasingly strong in and out of the vehicle. Approximately 3 days after smell was noticed, I contacted the local mercedes benz dealership to advise of the issue. I also did some research online, and discovered that previous years specifically; 2006-2011 cls class vehicles exhibited the same defect which was addressed with the NHTSA and to which mb-USA agreed to extend the warranty for covered fuel tank components from the original 4 years to 15 years. …”
