Equipment problem #1

Sbc abs hydraulic unit failed needed replacement & switch mb said this was not under warranty for my yr vehicle. Mercedes benz finally took ownership of this problem and stated in document August 2018 that they are covering the cost and labor to this problem for up to 25 years in model year. But your site does not show a recall on this?? limp mode and fault lights flashed sbc/abs unit failed. Had to be towed to dealer. Please, file my complaint since I am going after Mercedes Benz local dealer for my refund of cash for this problem to be fixed. Thanks.

Equipment problem #2

"takata recall" each year it fails the emmission test the failed code is po456. I had an evap system test ran they said it was a problem with the purge valve, eval hose, and the filler neck. (leaks). In my own words, the engine comes on and off, the computer is indicating that the truck is open when it is not, the seatbelt tighten up and makes a clicking noise while I'm driving, and sometimes I can't get out of the car it locks me inand I have to push the unlock button on the dash, and the alarm comes on whenever! and the tire pressure indicator stays on and we recently had new tires put on. We had it balanced and an alignment done as well. Other than that the car is still driving well. I thought benz was one of the best vehicles but I'm not so sure about that now with these concerns! these things happen when in motion except for the alarm going off. I think there may be a problem with the fuel system and I hope this car don't blowup on me! s royster.

Equipment problem #6

On March 31,2005 according to the national news,the crysler company said it would install battery control software on the e-class and cls-class models built from January 2002-January 2005. The company also said the braking system on the e, sl and cls-class made since June 2001 would be updated. My car had battery problem prior to the news, somehow they fix it but not the software. Up to present, I have not received any recall letter from the company despite of the news, despite that my car is affected (I had checked withthe company regarding my VIN # and confirmed that it is affected ). I do not know when they are going to be responsible to start recalling and fixing the problem before any incident will happen. It happen to me on the hydraulic brake system in which my car just stop in the middle of the street, which I could have been killed. The irony is that ,that day I received the recall letter after the fact. At that time, I believe that the company knew about the problem 5 months prior. Please assist with this problem.
