 Description of the problemThis complaint relates to a prior government investigation and related extension of warranty. The government investigation determined leaks could occur from the gas tank pressure sensor, the outlet of the gas tank filling limiter valve and at the top of the fuel pump. Determined leaks could occur from the gas tank pressure sensor, the outlet of the gas tank filling limiter valve and at the top of the fuel pump. As a result, benz extended its warranty to 15 years on gas tank components in 2003-2009 e-class vehicles and 2006-2011 cls-class vehicles. Consistent with the problem, my fuel pump failed last week; the car would not start. I had the car towed to oakland mercedes for service under the warranty. Benz was notified and inspected the car last wednesday. The dealer took possession on friday. I have called the service dept many times to learn status of the car. Benz tells me the car still has not even been assigned a service advisor. They refuse to give me any information re the status of my car and when it will be repaired. This amounts to a refusal to fulfill their promises given upon the discovery of their faulty fuel tanks.
