20191216FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL PUMP HOUSING CRACKED AND WAS LEAKING FUEL. THIS IS A PLASTIC PART. THE FUEL PUMP IS LOCATED UNDER THE REAR SEAT, SO THERE WAS FUEL INSIDE THE CAR. I NOTICED A STRONG GAS ODOR AND UPON INSPECTION, FOUND THE FAILED PUMP WITH GAS LEAKING FROM IT.

20190105AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE FROM MERCEDES BENZ OF LONG BEACH ON JULY 10, 2017. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THEY DID NOT INFORM ME OF ANY RECALLS! I SEARCH MY VIN TODAY 1/05/2019 THRU THE WEBSITE AND I FIND OUT THERE IS 2 RECALLS FROM 2016 AND IT SAYS THERE ARE NO REMEDIES YET AVAILABLE AND THE PROBLEM WAS ESTABLISHED SINCE 2016! I TAKE THIS RECALL SERIOUSLY AS IT SAYS THE AIRBAG MAY EXPLODE AND SHARP PIECES OR SHRAPNEL MAY HIT THE DRIVER CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE EVERYDAY TO WORK,TO DO ERRANDS, AND TO SCHOOL BUT NOW SINCE FINDING OUT THAT THE AIRBAG CAN KILL YOU INSTEAD OF SAVING YOU I WILL STOP DRIVING THE CAR UNTIL THERE IS A SOLUTION. I REALLY FEEL DECEIVED FROM MERCEDES BENZ OF LONG BEACH FOR NOT TELLING ME THAT THERE IS A VERY SERIOUS RECALL REGARDING THE AIRBAGS EQUIPPED ON THE VEHICLE I PURCHASED FROM THEM. IF THERE IS YET TO BE A REMEDY FOR THIS PROBLEM I FEEL AS IF MERCEDES BENZ OF LONG BEACH SHOULD PROVIDE A LOANER VEHICLE UNTIL THERE
