SRS warning light on. Replaced seat control a 211 870 05 26. No help. Service technician could not find the problem. Service decided to replace entire seat frame at a cost in excess of $2,800 including parts and labor. SRS code was identified when the car was stationary and just started in enclosed parking space with door open.

I made an appointment with Mercedes of little rock and referenced mfg recall # 2019120012 and NHTSA recall # 19V918. When I showed up this morning at the dealership service center, I was told there is no recall on this vehicle. I attempted to show them the webpage information with my phone and they said if it doesn't show under their VIN lookup, there is nothing they can do. Is there a way to appeal or other recourse? thank you

When the gas tank is full, the car smells like pure gas. I took it to the dealership to be fixed, but they did a "patch" and made the smell so bad that it gave us all headaches even with the windows down. The dealership has had my car for 3 months now and nothing has been done. Mercedes needs to fix the issue, or give me a new car!

I have a Mercedes-Benz E-class cdi that has a defect in the braking system. This is not a safety issue, but rather the brakes make a high pitched squeaking noise when applied. I have been told that this is a known problem in germany and that the noise cannot be fixed. This problem began within 1 month of the purchase of this vehicle. Purchase date 4-29-05
