I have experienced hairline crack failures in three (3) separate fuel tanks placed into my 1986 mercedes 300e 4 door sedan over 6 years. These cracks never allowed liquid to escape, but fumes did repeatedly emit into the car trunk and passenger cabin. After being in place for 9 months the 3rd tank is now leaking fumes and i have discovered staining where the cracks exist. This is, by itself, a very dangerous condition. To happen three times with three different replacement tanks is exceptional! i would like to suggest that this indicates there might be others with the same problem indicating that their might be an original design defect in the tank, its location (it might be getting scraped by surrounding sheet metal), or its basic material constitution; ie, too thin or poorly engineered materials.
I just experienced my 4th fuel tank fracture over 5 years. The fractures occur in the surface of the tank not caused by wear of any sort. They just spontaneously occur. The tank is completely factoryinstalled in the trunk of the car this allows fumes to enter the entire car. This is a very dangerous condition. I have never experienced a fractured tank in any brand in 40 years of driving. This is a serious matter.

Sudden acceleration syndrome. I believe i eliminated this problem by disconnecting the cruise control amp located under the dash board by unplugging cable attached to the unit.was able to replicate the problem by reconnecting the attached cable.believe cruise control systems design defective.at public library found some complaints regarding sudden acceleration syndrome pertaining too this vehicle- model- year.lucky mine is a stick shift in that regard.daimler and nhtsa both were notified.daimler would charge for the diagnoses and repair.apparently there is not enough complaints to warrant a recall.law is complicated.i can live without the luxury of cruisecontrol and exorbitant repair cost.
