| Description of the problem | I came outside to my car and could not get it to start. The car would crank but would not turn on. Had the car towed to the local mercedes dealership (euro motorcars in germantown, md). I was told that the fuel pump was leaking and that the fuel shorted the connector that turns the fuel pump on. I googled the problem online to see if it was a common issue, and it seems as if many people have this issue and mercedes already performed a recall on these cars to take care of this problem. I confirmed with the dealer that the recall was done to my vehicle and it was. |
