Fuel appears to be leaking inside the passenger compartment as there is an extremely strong smell of fuel. Car is not running normally and you can even smell fuel on the outside. Car will not accelerate properly. Concern of such strong smell of fuel leaking inside car is risk of fire and personal injury.
Code: 4a30 engine control module not identified or incorrect control module. Code: 54f0 can communication with control unit transmission control is sporadically disturbed. Safety issue: I recently got off the freeway, came to a stop, and then attempt to proceed normally with the vehicle now stuck in 5th (or whatever the sensor chooses) gear, and no power steering- there is a reasonable user presumption that the car would accelerate normally and be able to safely join traffic. . . . Instead it crawls forward at a few miles an hour into potential harms way with no way to accelerate the vehicle normally, thereby leaving the driver and our children in danger. I speak from personal experience, and would not wish this terror experience on our worst enemy. Mercedes montvale NJ will not participate on fixing the cause of this safety issue.
