2006 Mercedes-Benz CLK350 Problems

I've just bought the car and it has only 70k, the engine doesn't want to go, it stalls but there is no check engine light on, I'll be driving and the car will just die, or start to diminish, and gas consumption , now all my lights fail, high beams, low beams, turn signals, Brake lights one after another, so I go to auto zone to purchase lights and one of the associates comes to help me, he stares that all the we ires are exposed,

THE DEALER SOLD THE CAR WITHOUT DISCLOSING THE MULTIPLE SAFETY ISSUES PERTAINING TO THE CAR; SUCH AS, THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM, CONTROL ARMS, BALL JOINTS, ENGINE INSTABILITY, EMISSIONS DECEPTION, AND ODOMETER ACCURACY, AND FLOOD DAMAGE. DURING THE GENERATION OF THE PURCHASE, THE DEALER INSINUATED THE CAR WAS NEVER INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENTS BUT THE VEHICLE'S HISTORY REPORTED 3 THAT I DISCOVERED 'AFTER' I PURCHASED THE CAR. REGARDING PROOF OF ENGINE INSTABILITY, I COULD NOT UPLOAD THE VIDEO ON THIS FORM.

I FIRST THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD BEEN STEALING MY GAS UNTIL MY CAR STARTED TO SMELL LIKE GAS. IF I GIVE SOMEONE A RIDE IN MY CAR, THEY MAKE COMMENTS ABOUT THE SMELL AS SOON AS I START TO DRIVE. MY COWORKERS HAVE NOTICED THE ODOR IN WHEN THEY PASS BY MY CAR IN THE PARKING LOT AND THE SPOTS THAT IT LEAVES ON THE GROUND. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE MECHANIC AND HE SAID MY FUEL PUMP IS LEAKING ON TO THE TOP OF MY FUEL TANK AT AN EXCESSIVE RATE AND IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. MY CAR ONLY HAS 84,000 MILES SO I DID SOME RESEARCH ON RECALLS. MERCEDES HAS EXTENDED WARRANTIES ON SEVERAL MODELS FROM 2006-2009 BUT MINE IS NOT ON THE LIST. MY CAR HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS AS THE OTHER VEHICLES EFFECTED. WHAT CAN I DO NEXT?

ON DECEMBER 9, 2016 I TOOK MY 2006 MERCEDES-BENZ CLK350 TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE COMING FROM THE BACK SEAT AREA. THE DEALERSHIP FOUND THE FUEL SMELL WAS COMING FROM THE LEFT REAR FUEL SENDING UNIT LEAKING. ALTHOUGH I WAS AWARE OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AGREEMENT BETWEEN MERCEDES-BENZ AND NHTSA COVERING LEAKING GAS TANK COMPONENTS ON MERCEDES-BENZ CARS, I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE AGREEMENT DID NOT INCLUDE GAS TANK LEAKS ON MY CLK VEHICLE, DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE SAME GAS TANK LEAK WAS COVERED ON OTHER MERCEDES-BENZ VEHICLES. THUS, I HAD TO PAY FOR THE EXPENSIVE REPAIR OUT OF POCKET. I AM REQUESTING THAT NHTSA AMEND YOUR PRIOR AGREEMENT WITH MERCEDES-BENZ TO INCLUDE ADDITIONAL MODELS SUCH AS MY 2006 CLK 350 WHICH HAVE DEVELOPED SIMILAR LEAKS IN THEIR FUEL TANK COMPONENTS.

THE CAR-SEAT OCCUPANCY MAT SENSOR WHICH IS BUILT INTO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BOTTOM IS DEFECTIVE. THE MERCEDES DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART IS NOT AVAILABLE AND THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM IS TO COMPLETELY REPLACE THE SEAT AT GREAT EXPENSE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT SINCE THE SRS SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT IS ON THE ENTIRE AIRBAG SYSTEM IS DISABLED. IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE CLOCKSPRING IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH WAS ALSO CAUSING THE SRS LIGHT TO COME ON. THE PARTS AND LABOR BILL WAS OVER $600.

BOUGHT THE CAR IN JULY 2013 THIRD BRAKE LIGHT LENS FELL OFF.I CHECKED MY BRAKE LIGHTS WITH SOMEONE PUSHING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND OBSERVED THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENT DANGLING LOOSE INSIDE TRUNK THIRD LIGHT SPACE BUT NO COVER LENS. DIDN'T NOTICE THE LENS HAD FALLEN OFF UNTIL SEVERAL STRANGERS TAILING ME TOLD ME. I KNOW THERE IS A BRAKE LIGHT ISSUE THAT IS BEING RECALLED ON A DIFFERENT MERCEDES MODEL AND YEAR. I WAS THINKING THAT PERHAPS MY VEHICLE MIGHT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. SO I GOOGLED THIS ISSUE AND TO MY DISAPPOINTMENT FOUND MANY MORE MERCEDES BENZ OWNERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS ME. THE REASON ITS A DISAPPOINTMENT BECAUSE MERCEDES BENZ VEHICLES ARE HIGHLY REGARDED AS THE MOST PRESTIGE VEHICLE LET ALONE ONE OF THE COSTLY CARS. WHO WOULD HAVE IMAGINED SUCH SMALL OVERLOOKED DETAIL CAME OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE. AS A FURTHER INSULT MERCEDES BENZ REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AS A PROBLEM AND COMPENSATE ITS CUSTOMERS. *TR

WHILE PARKED I STARTED THE CAR AND PLACED AN ITEM ON THE PASSENGERS SEAT. IMMEDIATELY THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON. THE SRS HAS DETECTED SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM AND SHUT THE AIRBAGS OFF ON THE CAR WHICH IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD. AFTER TAKING THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC I WAS TOLD CODE 9223 AND 9080 DISPLAYED. 92 23 STATES THAT THE CAR NEEDS A CONTACT REEL AT STEERING WHEEL (PART $410/LABOR NEARLY $300) AND 9080 STATES THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BOTTOM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED (PART $1690/LABOR NEARLY $300) . I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALLED ITEM BECAUSE NUMEROUS MERCEDES BENZ HAVE THIS ISSUE AND THE REPAIR COST IS EXTREMELY HIGH. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS SAFETY ISSUE. DUE TO THE EXTREME COST FOR REPAIR, I AM DRIVING AN UNSAFE AND HAZARDOUS VEHICLE. I AM SURE, I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON IN THIS SITUATION. *TT
