Driving vehicle all day no problems .It just turned 20,000 miles. Was driving on road when vehicle started surging, like out of fuel, went down road a little further and it happened again .This time i smelled strong diesel fuel fumes. Smoke starting coming out from under hood. . I pulled off road and shut car off. I opened hood lots of smoke and engine compartment completely soaked with diesel fuel ! Had to call roadside assistance. Got towed in to mercedes benz of north haven ct. Service dept today says looks like a rodent chewed something in your engine compartment. And that caused your fuel leak. Therefore we are not covering anything under warranty. It will cost about $4500 to fix .This is ridiculous and vehicle is under full warranty and extended warranty ! I was driving this car all day .It broke down at 2:30 in the afternoon..Mercedes benz is lucky the car didn't catch firer and burn to the ground. Mauro motors needs to make good on the warranty and fix at no charge. I have a automotive background and just cant buy what they are saying the cause is from..We own 2 mb vehicles and this is unheard of. We will contact our lawyer about this issue if not resolved.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 mercedes-benz ml250. The contact stated that the collision prevention assistance feature failed to function properly and the vehicle failed to stop several times. The contact applied extreme force to the brake pedal and almost experienced a crash due to an internal or electrical failure. The dealer (mercedes-benz of anaheim, 5395 e la palma ave, anaheim hills, ca 92807, (714) 777-1900), who sold the contact the vehicle, was unable to replicate and diagnose the failure. The dealer did not perform a test drive and indicated that the feature could not be replicated. The manufacturer was notified of the safety concern and the contact was waiting to determine if they could provide further testing to determine if the collision prevention assistance feature was functioning. The contact was uncertain if the manufacturer could prevent the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 20,000.
