I bought the car yesterday, and today realized the car is leaking fuel, pooling under the back seat and spilling out under the car. The passenger headlight will not work; we tried 3 bulbs. The panel displays a message stating one of the tag lights is out, but it actually works.

I own a a 2003 Mercedes Benz C240. The following day after the vehicle was refueled, there was a strong fuel odor. It has happen suddenly out of nowhere after my other electrical failures of showing up in my malfunction panel, in which I have a complaint. The srs then the esp now. Then the fuel smell. I seem to notice it more when I would idle heating up the car in the winter, then when I just turn it on and drive. I notice it at stop lights as well. If there is any recall on any mercedes that has something to do with this or any issue, it should fall across the line of other years and models as well. Safety is the issue and quality is why we choose a certain make.

Takata recall. Cars with this issue should be part of the recall. I have same exact problem as the 7th complainer. Case #10574681. Srs light came on with 1 malfunction. The restraint system. I took it to the workshop to have the scan codes checked. The code reader said that there is a problem with one of the airbags. The mechanic thinks that the airbags are disabled. But the owners manual says there is a possibility that an airbag could go off while driving. I just read that mercedes included 814000 vehicles in the recall. My car is not included. I think that this car might not be safe to drive. Would you please help out and have an investigation. Thanks in advance. (this I copies and pasted from a recent consumer) I didn't think anything about checking on my mercedes until I got a recall letter from BMW 2 days ago and thought wow. I need to check no the benz. I have had this same problem. First the srs light. Codes are reading safety restraint and wont turn off. Then I have my esp light that came on and when read on the computer, it had read that this was also showing up as a long term problem in the history of this cars computer system. I can pull every paper work ever done to this car. I am the second owner and my close friend is the first owner, who bought it after law school. I have owned it 5 years. This made nervous, so I bought another car. A BMW and kept this one, because she is a great car. However, mercedes or someone better investigate this issue that seems to be recalled in a biased manner and in safety and death possibilities, mercedes needs to take care of their loyal customers. My entire family owns and buys these and never changed, because all of our german made and shipped cars have been the best since 1980 of our 1st one we purchased. I bought a BMW. Never again. Please investigate this ASAP, this is dangerous. I own 2 dangerous expensive cards.
I was driving to work from parkville to baltimore city and my car began aggressively jerking. I drove my car on Friday morning through the tunnel and the jerking was not as aggressive. I drove home on Friday afternoon from work and I could tell that something was still jerking but continuously. Saturday morning my car was jerking so aggressively, I called owings mills mercedes and left it there. I was notified today, may 27, 2015, that my car needed between $1900 and $7500 worth of work. My coolant is leaking on the transmission. If my radiator can not be fixed, I will need a new radiator as well as transmission. I have doing research and this seems to be a common problem with the c class mercedes. I feel this should be a recall issue.

I don't know that my car was a recall and when I first got it my gas gauase when out and stuff start to go bad. The car place I purchase the car from knew all this stuff and don't inform me at all. I know I bought a used car but I was hope they will let me know . Now that my warranty up they is giving the run alway . What should about it . So when I go put gas in my car I don't know how much gas it is in my car because my gas read and meter in the car don't work and also have a short in it.
The contact owns a 2003 Mercedes Benz C240. The following day after the vehicle was refueled, there was a strong fuel odor and there was a large puddle of fuel under the rear center of the vehicle. The failure recurred continuously. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
The electronic engine/gearbox protection switched off the engine while the car is on the move in a highway. The incidence happen twice in 2011 and 2012. Fortunately, I was able to pull over on the shoulder and restart the engine without any adverse incidence. But, the potential for catastrophic injury as a result of sudden loss of engine power in a highway concerns me.
