Driving vehicle down the road and vehicle started to smoke under the hood. Pulled car over and the entire engine area under hood became engulfed in flames. Fire department came and extinguished fire after about 20 minutes. Vehicle is a total loss.

Car will not take gas. Gas pump between tanks is not working properly to move the fuel from one side to the other, causing you to run out of gas frequently. It also is causing the mileage/computer/gas gauge to indicate you have a half tank and then immediately drop to E and run out. This seems to be an issue with the Mercedes designed fuel tank and should be recalled and replaced with a standard design. When on E your car will not take gas. Initially I was told to idle at the pump for 2-5 minutes...now at 10 minutes, my car will not take gas and takes about 20-30 minutes to try to fill it. Very frustrated.
