"takata recall" my Mercedes Benz E500 back air shocks stopped lifting the car when I started it in the morning and the red indicator light want go off unless I stop it will lift up an then goes back down.
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.
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.

"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.
My car stopped working completely. Shop tells me its the sbc pump.
Sbc loss of po. Wer no brakes stop car immediately. See workshop.
Car makes an unusual, loud, humming noise from the rear of the car, upon starting and constantly, no matter the speed. On occasion, there is no noise, but more often than not, the humming is present. The noise emanates from the rear of the car, and can be heard on the interior and from the outside. Have brought the car into dealership 3x for the issue, and they claim they cannot duplicate the problem, and claim there is nothing wrong. It has been happening for the last 10k miles. Have also experienced the gas smell issue since 35k miles, and lost the brakes randomly; both issues described by others.
Dear sir or madam, I consistently smell gas leak from my car. Steven 949-202-7716.
As I was driving to work, car just lowered out of no where speed automatically decreased, and red light came on saying car too low stop car, it scared me that is so dangerous when you are going at a certain speed and then it drops out of no where. Then I hear air leaking from back but not out of tire.
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.
The sbc is the proble , and I belice rhat it is / was on recall, I want you to fix the problem . Thanks.
My car battery kept dyeing and all of the speakers on the right side was not working. In fact when the car was off those speakers would make static noises. I had an electronic auto store look at the car and they told me they could not find the problem, but when they posed the question to their online site, the answer came back as the "audio gateway" being defective. They were other owners of the same car with the same complaint and this was the problem. I took the car to the mercedes dealer, told them of the battery dyeing problem and their diagnosis was the same, "audio gateway". I paid the dealer to fix the problem and they stated that replaced the part. The total cost was approx. $1,258. 00, which included labor.
I just wanted to say that I am the origional owner and this is an E500 . I do not want anyone to get hurt so I am reporting. I do have all receipts.

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.
