I previously complained about this in April 2025 (ID 11669847). Dealer inspected in April 2025 and replaced the lower hose, but I still would smell fuel. After a lot of my own troubleshooting over the last six months, I have determined that when the car has sat un-used for over 24 https://plaincars.com/make/mercedes-benz-metris https://plaincars.com/make/mercedes-benz-metris#complaint-2151947 Tue, 25 Nov 2025 00:00:00 GMT My 2022 Mercedes-Benz Metris recently experienced a sudden onset of engine issues, triggering the Check Engine Light. Diagnostic data retrieved from the vehicle (via onboard telematics) revealed the following error codes via onboard OBD GPS Bouncie: P0300: Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected P0301: Cylinder 1 Misfire Detected P0304: Cylinder 4 Misfire Detected Upon professional inspection https://plaincars.com/make/mercedes-benz-metris https://plaincars.com/make/mercedes-benz-metris#complaint-2150944 Fri, 21 Nov 2025 00:00:00 GMT See attached document for complaint. I wanted to express my displeasure with the manner in which the above reference recall was conducted. The timeline left many owners with expensive replacement bills for new tires to replace inadequate tires that were installed as OEM on our vans. The message boards tell a story of frustration for a large group of consumers. As you know the recall was originall https://plaincars.com/make/mercedes-benz-metris https://plaincars.com/make/mercedes-benz-metris#complaint-2142729 Fri, 24 Oct 2025 00:00:00 GMT It has been two years after posting an issue with engine light on indicating the error code p052e which is a known problem on many models mercedes has. This metris van is not a passenger van but a commercial van. It has however the SAME engine and SAME error code as all the models mercedes having this engine.

Mercedes has lost its respect for being a High Quality brand. Too many recalls,. Too many issues that vehicles less costly never have such as 1. Out of alignment at 0 mileage resulting in worn out tires at 12k miles. Realignment that was useless at mb specs resulting in third set of tires. 2. Pcv regulator valve triggers engine c https://plaincars.com/make/mercedes-benz-metris https://plaincars.com/make/mercedes-benz-metris#complaint-2128978 Wed, 10 Sep 2025 00:00:00 GMT Recently took my vehicle in to get the brakes check and inspected. Technician at Mercedes Benz noticed a fuel leak in the upper fuel line. We both thought was very odd because the vehicle only has 35k miles on it and the line is visibly in great condition. I did a little research and found that there was a recall for this exact issue. But it seems that my vin wasn’t in the recall.

This code signals that the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has detected an issue with the crankcase pressure, suggesting a malfunction in the PCV system's ability to regulate p https://plaincars.com/make/mercedes-benz-metris https://plaincars.com/make/mercedes-benz-metris#complaint-2117031 Mon, 04 Aug 2025 00:00:00 GMT Dealer says that Power Steering control unit/steering rack needs to be changed. Looks like same recall was there(17V-595) but my vin number is not in Mercedes system to be fixed. Happens when park. Steering was not working, van needs to be towed. Can you check if that should be part of recall? https://plaincars.com/make/mercedes-benz-metris https://plaincars.com/make/mercedes-benz-metris#complaint-2104776 Fri, 27 Jun 2025 00:00:00 GMT There was a fuel smell emanating from the engine compartment during the vehicle pre-start routine (fuel pump priming). The dealership determined this to be a leak in the lower fuel hose to fuel line of the service connection per NHTSA Campaign Number 18V837000, however they refused to cover the cost of the repair because the recall work was previously completed in 2019.

It's a known issue on several MB models (GLB, C300, etc.) that this original part wears out and can potentially cause an under-hood fire if oil gets clogged up in the components. To my knowledge there is no routine maintenance that we missed that would be causing this issue.

After that the van was nearly impossible to turn even a slight amount. If the road had been a bunch of curves I wouldn't have been able to make it to a safe place to pull over. Mercedes had recall campaign #17V595000 that addressed this problem but when I called them they said there are no active reca https://plaincars.com/make/mercedes-benz-metris https://plaincars.com/make/mercedes-benz-metris#complaint-2049691 Fri, 20 Dec 2024 00:00:00 GMT The fuel line is leaking again. I have had this replaced three times already. Once under warranty and twice out-of-pocket. Why wasn't the MY2016 included in the recall? The raw fuel smell permeates the cabin and is nauseating. This is a safety issue were something needs to be done for a permanent fix before someone dies in a fiery death. https://plaincars.com/make/mercedes-benz-metris https://plaincars.com/make/mercedes-benz-metris#complaint-2042415 Fri, 22 Nov 2024 00:00:00 GMT The contact owns a 2018 Mercedes-Benz Metris.

She had the electric power steering stop working twice in six weeks. Each time the vehicle became barely controllable. Both times it happened on curvy mountain roads and she was barely able to keep control of the vehicle and is now afraid to drive it.
