2014 Mercedes-Benz ML350 Fuel system Problems

“Diesel fuel filter and/or diesel fuel hose leaks spilling highly flammable diesel fuel on the road. The diesel fuel could leak near the heat source or leak onto the road. This could lead to a crash or cause a fire in the presence of an ignition source.”

“Diesel fuel leaks from a tiny crack forming on the oil filter housing. The filter has manufacturing or design defect that causes the bottom housing of the filter to form small cracks prematurely. The mercedes part number of this filter is a 642 090 60 52 manufactured by mann , made in the czech republic. I have searched the internet and this appears to be a systemic problem where the filter forms cracks and leaks diesel fuel. There should be a recall issued for this immediately before there are any vehicle fires as a result of this defect. …”

“I purchased my car used at the Mercedes dealership in Tyler Texas June 2023. I took all my savings and paid cash and was told that the car was impeccable shape and there were no current issues and all the service records were up to date. November 2023 is when everything started happening and my engine light came on. It was revealed to me by a service tech that I was sold the vehicle with an existing major oil leak /seals broke. Etc. SEE Attached invoices. I have endured driving down the road and my car just giving out and losing power steering. …”

“As we were driving 50mph, the car stalled and lost all power. The dashboard lights all lit up and the car wouldn't start. I don't get unnerved easily and it was fairly intense not being able to move your car out of traffic. After about 5 mins, the car would start again only to stop a minute or so later. After taking the car to the dealer, the issue stemmed from the fuel pump electronics board getting wet in the spare tire wheel well where water was accumulating. This was part of the recall and the dealer installed a drain and replaced the board. …”

“I bought my vehicle into Mercedes Benz for a recall related to water collection in spare tire well which can cause a fuel pump control malfunction, NHTSA recall # 22V955. A few days ago, my vehicle could not start and I found water in my spare tire well. My OBD scanner tells me it is related to the fuel pump. I informed Mercedes Benz and they would not fix it. Obviously the work performed did not correct the recall. I'm writing here hoping I can get connected to the right channel to get this resolved as my vehicle is currently unusable. Thanks.”
