I made an appointment with mercedes of little rock and referenced mfg recall # 2019120012 and NHTSA recall # 19v918. When I showed up this morning at the dealership service center, I was told there is no recall on this vehicle. I attempted to show them the webpage information with my phone and they said if it doesn't show under their VIN lookup, there is nothing they can do. Is there a way to appeal or other recourse? thank you.

3 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 06/05/2013

When the gas tank is full, the car smells like pure gas. I took it to the dealership to be fixed, but they did a "patch" and made the smell so bad that it gave us all headaches even with the windows down. The dealership has had my car for 3 months now and nothing has been done. Mercedes needs to fix the issue, or give me a new car!.

4 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 05/04/2012

One day I fill my tank with gas & when I get in my car I smell gasoline. I'm thinking I stepped in some gas at the gas station. I come home & park. As I exit my car & come around the passenger side I'm smelling gas. For the next few days the gas smell continues to suffocate me. I got on the internet & googled " I smell gas in my 2005 E320". I was shocked to see that lots of other people were having the same problem. The no-cost solution was not to fill your tank, only halfway but then your constantly stopping for gas smh. Why don't the dealers want to fix this problem?? is this the reputation that mercedes wants to create??.
