“I purchased this mercedes new in 2016, the brakes have squealed ever since when cold 32 degrees or less.. Once in awhile when warm. 2 we smelled gasoline, we took it to a repair shop, they found two fuel hoses sprayed gas in a mist especially when cold.. 3 there are 3 recalls open on this mercedes, I took it in when the air bag recall arrived at our house, I was told we don't have parts. Our car is out of warranty, it has 56000 miles. I take it to a repair shop run by certified mercedes technicians. Thank god we didn't have a fire with the gas leak. …”
