In 4 separate incidents since I purchased my vehicle in 2012, I have run out of gas but the gas gauge shows more than 1/4 tank of fuel available. Most recently, on Feb 12,2018, my car stopped while traveling 65 mph on I-270 in columbus OH in heavy traffic with no warning and 1/3 tank of gas showing on the gauge. I feared for my and my daughter's lives, as a car with no fuel is extremely difficult to steer. I asked an authorized mb dealer (astorg) to diagnose the problem 2 years ago and they could not find a reason for the issue. This is a significant safety issue.
