1 Service Brakes problem of the 2003 Mercedes Benz E Class

Failure Date: 11/20/2013

I started smelling gas in the car cabin. There was gas on my driveway as well. The gas sign started to flash on my dash and the check engine light came on. Went to the dealership and they said there was a major leak in the purge system. They quoted me $3066. 88. They should take responsibility and not pass it on to me.

2 Service Brakes problem of the 2011 Mercedes Benz E Class

Failure Date: 02/01/2011

Brake pedal is notchy or sticks during the initial portion of pedal travel. Inconsistent brake feel at each stop leads to over or under braking, depending on whether or not the pedal sticks. It has been diagnosed by mercedes as an internally leaking brake booster, but they won't replace it, saying the part falls within specs. This car is a 2011 c300w4. This model is not listed in your pull down menu (I entered E Class to complete the form).

3 Service Brakes problem of the 2005 Mercedes Benz E Class

Failure Date: 03/02/2010

While driving at approximately 50 mph, the sbs system warning light came on along with loss of most braking ability. I managed to stop the car, turn around and return about 8 miles to my home in "limp home" mode. There was no warning whatsoever. I then call the mb dealership which sent a truck to pick up the car. The sbs hydraulic unit had failed and was replaced under extended warranty at no cost. While I am not complaining about the cost (none), the failure could have caused an accident with the loss of brake ability. I take road trips to the colorado mountains and if this had happened there, I could have suffered a fatal injury. This system is defectively engineered and should be replaced on all mercedes cars so equipped.
