Example complaints

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

“When the gas tank is full, the car smells like pure gas. I took it to the dealership to be fixed, but they did a patch and made the smell so bad that it gave us all headaches even with the windows down. The dealership has had my car for 3 months now and nothing has been done. Mercedes needs to fix the issue, or give me a new car!”
