Fuel tank leak needed to replace entire tank. Malfunction of drivers side window trapped arm in window.
I would never by another mercedes due to extremely dangerous malfunctions on my car.
The window malfunctioned and trapped my arm it was squeezing shut so severly that I had to see a doctor after being trapped for 2 minutes until someone opened it.
Had car towed 3 times in one week for intense gas smell and was told each time that there was nothing wrong until the third time tow truck driver verified smell of gas. entire fule tank needed to be replaced - NOT HAPPY.
