 Description of the problemRequest nhtsa immediately re-open the investigation of mercedes-benz' deliberate & continued use of defective fuel system components. The warranty extension offered by mb for 2003-2009 e-class sedans on fuel tank components, including fuel tank, fuel filter/sender, fuel pump & related gaskets/seals/retention rings, is not sufficient. Please require mb to extend the warranty to later model yrs & all e-class vehicles such as 2-dr coupe, not just the sedan. My vehicle has only 48,000 miles (driven <7,000 mi/yr) & fuel sending unit closing cover is now leaking. Gas fumes/leakage is so overwhelming that car cannot be driven or parked in a garage. Driver is in eminent danger of car bursting into flames if a spark or match is lit nearby. Plus owner risks damage/theft/bodily harm now being required to park on street rather than a secured garage. I've owned 8 other vehicles in my lifetime incl. Fiat, oldsmobile, ford, toyota & lexus. Never has any other vehicle had this problem. Plus several were 2x+ the age of this car & had 2-3x greater mileage. This fuel system problem is not caused by normal wear-&-tear or any fault of an owner. Repairs must be mandated by the nhtsa to be covered by mb due to fact that they have continued to use defective design & defective components, even knowing for years prior to manufacturing 2010+ models, this issue exists. The mb dealer wants to charge $1133. 89 plus tax for the initial "closing cover" repair & will not guarantee that will even fix the problem. It may cost thousands more to have the entire fuel tank replaced if necessary. I implore you to seek justice for consumers like myself, harmed by mb's defective fuel tanks that allow fumes to seep into the cabin & broad area surrounding the exterior of vehicle, plus liquid fuel to leak on the ground. Please relpy with specific action i can take to rectify this deplorable situation.

  • What is Recall?

    A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
  • What is Failure?

    Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
