general problems of the 2011 Mercedes Benz GLK350

The contact owns a 2011 mercedes-benz Glk350. The contact stated that on several occasions while driving at various speeds, the vehicle lost motive power and decelerated unintendedly. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a complaint was filed. The failure mileage was 125,000.

I'm having the same issues as described in recall no. 12v557000. However when I called mercedes they mentioned that my VIN wasn't part of that recall. I don't understand how can that be when my car is 2011-2012 Glk350 model as described in recall and I smell gas, can see gas leaking and the flange where my fuel filter is cracked as well as the flange to the fuel pump side. This car as well as many other mercedes have two separate flanges that are prone to crack and not just the fuel filter side but the fuel pump side as well. There's many forums where they all have complained about this issue. If you can smell gas, there's obviously fuel vapors leaking and not to the mentioned the physical leak that is landing everywhere you drive. This is a serious fire hazard and is extremely harmful to my kids and passengers.
