Harmonic balancer /crank pulley wobbling very bad . Afraid it will come apart and cause catastrophic damage while my kids are driving. Mercedes covered this part under same engine family but only from model years 1998-2001. Would like them to take responsibility for the same faulty part as the others.

Takata recall srs warning light on

NoNoN NoneNone20161121

After filling my gas tank, there's a very strong raw gas odor inside the car while driving, and when parked. Seems stronger in the backseat. I see there's a extended warranty for this issue from mercedes benz on the e class for my year (2003). That warranty extension should have covered all classes with similar design or the same problem. The fumes are so strong i am afraid any spark could ignite the vapors. I really need your help! If mercedes benz acknowledged problems with my year (2003), it should include my c class unless they can establish the issues are totally unrelated in nature. Thank you for your assistance.
