| After filling the fuel tank, a very strong odor of raw gasoline coming from rear of car. the strongest smell coming from drivers side rear wheel well, no visible leaks detected. the smell is getting worse after each fill-up. replaced the gas cap, no change in condition. contacted the dealer from where car was purchased and inquired about similar complaints and fixes because another of my family has the same model with similar miles and has the very same problem, the dealer was unaware of any issues with this model. because the car is out of warranty, will need to find a repair facility to solve and correct this issue before something catastrophic happens. also found in research that this same issue has been found in other mercedes models of the same model year. *tr | |||

| I bought the car june 2011 and since then, i have periodically had this problem. from a stop, the car will not accelerate. it feels like it is stuck in a higher gear. or, the opposite happens. i will accelerate, and the car will not change from second to third gear. i have to pull over and restart the engine, and then it works. i have seen numerous complaints online from other owners that they have the same problem. | |||
