What owners wrote
Gasoline leak creating extreme odor inside and around car exterior. Dealership states fuel sending units and tank need to be replaced at my expense. My car was included in the related recall #2008-020001 and was subsequently serviced at dealership 1/19/09 to address the issue. Obviously the proposed remedy was ineffective.
The vehicle was sended to inspection due to a "brake warning" started showing at the gauges control panel. Mercedes benz dealer service manager indicates that they not have a correct tool to recode to actualize the brake system and /or fix the problem at that time. Three visits and several phone calls been made to the dealer. The service advisor is always with other customer. I'm stop to drive my vehicle, because I never knew how deep is the problem.
