“There is a constant swinging nouse in the wall behind the seats which is consistant to the problems a lot of owners are having. I have the same problem with my mercedes and the noise just seems to be something is free swinging inside the tank or around it which is very irritating for such a luxury vehicle. Please give me a solution to this problem that seems to be common when the vehicle is driven or stopping.”
