2005 E500 Mercedes Benz,after full tank of gas I filled. I noticed very strong gas inside my car and outside. It can catch on fired. Cause cancer and lung issues.
I took my car to the dealership because it was a red battery on the dash board, I was told I need a fuel pump, I told the dealership I have a warranty for this, but I was told the paper I have explain what a warranty is, I called mercedes headquarters several times and I was told I keep calling about the same thing its in the notes it is up to the service manager to approve the warranty I had to pay for the car repairs even tho I had a warranty. I took my car to another mechanic and I was told I need a battery, my car in the streets while I was driving to the dealership I called and had it towed to the dealership my grandbaby and I was in the heat for over an hour waiting for the tow truck, I also took my car to goodyear and they put it on the computer 2x and they did not know why the red light was on they but though I just need another battery.
Several times if the vehicle is not driven in a day or two the battery would be dead. I had to replace the battery twice in 2 years. I now receive a message (check battery) every time I start the vehicle. I bought a battery charger that I keep with me all the time. Once a month I put the vehicle on a battery charger, and if I’m not going to use it for a week or more,I put it on a trickle charger. I own 2 other vehicle and none of them need this type of treatment.
