Vehicle has a recall on replacement of fuel tank. Mercedes benz dealer did not want to honor the recall. When i fill car up with gas it leaks out of the tank and on the ground. Mercedes-benz dealer said i missed the time for the recall. I went to the dealership before the recall ended in 2019 spoke with the service advisor at the mckinney mercedes-benz dealership and i informed him the car was not drivable due to the braking system failure call the spc hydraulic pump. Turns out that is also a recall that is widely known.At that time the car was not drivable and then the pandemic hit so there was no need to take it up there at the time due to covid. Mercedes benz should honor this since this is a safety issue that could lead to a deadly situation if not addressed. They have been deceptive by marking this is an extended warranty issue and not a safety recall issue. They pretty much told me since i don't have my car worked on at the dealership, they don't want to help me in this situation. They mentioned had the car been serviced at the dealership and not at the independent shoo that i used i may have had a better chance at them covering the charges for this tank replacement.

The problem with my vehicle is that with its current tcm( transmission control module) in a 722.9 transmission, the conductor plate that holds the sensors in place become defective and creates a problem in which the transmission gets stuck in 2nd gear. This causes a major problem driving on road ways that are +45mph because the vehicle cannot drive over 25mph further causing more problems that may actually freeze up the engine causing the car to stop. If the car is stopped and begins to go again, the rmp's can go very high without any power or motion in the vehicle. This has happened to 2 of my personal friends already with the 722.9 transmission. In particular the conductor plate or valve body was corrupted and caused the vehicle to fail. I am reporting this because the part can fail anytime during operation of the vehicle and is a safety issue to the driver and others around when this may occur. Many other owners (i've read online) with this 722.9 transmission conductor plate fault is also frustrated by the fact that not only mercedes-benz doesn't allow for a consumer to buy the part but many warranties are voided with this fault. My vehicle (mercedes-benz e500 2004) also is only at 56,000 miles on the speedometer. Considering the mileage, this is a problem that seems to be premature due to the fact that the vehicle has been serviced by a mercedes-benz dealer but has no service for the very commonly faulted part.

Airmatic suspension dropped while driving on the highway. Red light warning flashed that vehicle was low. Tried to raise car but it would not raise. Car was very close to ground and would not raise..Began looking up, if other same models as ours have this problem and they do. Read several consumers compliants/ concerns who also own a mercedes benz they seem to have this similar problem. It's very expensive to fix at a dearlership. Looks like this vehicle may have a problem/defect with their airmatic suspension and it is very dangerous driving on the highway unknowing that your vehicle is dropping to ground.This really needs to be investigated to see if there is a problem with their airmatic suspension before someone gets hurt or killed while driving.

Engine stopped while running the car. Had to have a local repair shop replace both sending units and seals/gaskets. I believe this is a recall already but i paid for it?
