Please reference nhtsa action# pe12001.after filling the car with gasoline, there is a very strong odor of gasoline.the smell of gasoline goes away after using about a 1/4 of the tank.i am aware that this is a widespread issue with e class (w211) vehicles and mercedes benz has been denying any responsibility. I have not taken the car to the dealer yet and would be more than happy to allow the nhtsa to inspect my vehicle.
Joystick and center consult is always extremely hot
Unintended acceleration of mercedes benz e 350 4 matic 2009 model barely 3 months old-jumped the curb while parking and hit the wall 4 ft over the curb causing damage to the medical office wall and the right front end of the car. Luckily no one was hurt. Reported to allstate claims, car repaired and inspected by benz dealer. Both the mb dealer and mb headquarterletter stated the car is safe to drive. According to mercedes benz the car checked out fine. They sent me a letter stating that as well.
I was traveling at about 40 miles per hour on a major street and went over a small pothole. This resulted in major fractures on both of the passenger's side wheels. All the equipment on this car is original from mercedes benz. This is the first incident in late 2010. Recently, i was traveling about 35 to 40 miles per hour and went over a small pothole on the street that is about 6 inches in diameter and less than 2 inches in depth, and resulted in another wheel failure. I understand that pothole damage is a normal part of wear and tear. But this is a major street that has traffic count of 75,000+ car per day. If my car is this easily damaged in a period of 1 year, i can't even imaging how many cars would get damaged on this stretch of road. Therefore, i believe wheel failures such as this at relatively average speed and small potholes, can't just be a result of normal wear and tear. I believe this is either defective design or poor product quality control. If my wheels get damaged at this speed, i can't image what kind of damage or safety issues it would cause when i'm traveling on freeway at higher speed.
