	There is a very strong gas smell. it is overwhelming, lasts for days, and we need to park the car outside of the garage, as the smell is so intense it makes you feel sick. it just started happening about a week or two ago, and seems to be most obvious after getting fuel. i searched the internet and found that this seems to be a very common problem with a lot of mb owners having similar issues. also, there seems to be a recent class action suit initiated by the nhtsa involving this problem. i'm concerned this could be a life threatening safety problem if an explosion occurs and the intense fumes seem likely to cause other health related problems. *tr

	The transmission locks up in low gear while driving at freeway speed. the check engine light came on and the transmission won't change gears.
SEAT BELTS
10/20/2011
	Seat belts fail to retract unless there are assisted manually, if not noticed they hang outside the vehicle. if a driver had delivered a passenger to a destination and that passenger failed to assist the seat belt into the enclosure and exited leaving a portion of the belt dragging on the ground and possibly getting caught on a obstruction of some type, or causing some unintended action.

	Mercedes clk 350 is a coupe model. when the seat is moved forward to gain access to the rear seat, the front seat headrest automatically retracts into the seat. the headrest goes all the way down so that there is no space between the headrest and the top of the seat back. if ones hand is there as support while getting in, the hand is caught and held until the seat back is brought back into the proper position. the force is so strong and the material on the headrest and seat back so firm that they can break a finger or a childs hand. *jb

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
04/08/2010	31324
	2007 and other mercedes benz vehicles cruise control lever [stalk] is installed just above turn signal lever. there is no on/off control for the m-b cruise control. the 'stalk' type lever is 'always active' and ready to engage the cruise control. it is all too easy toconfuse the cruise control lever with the turn signal lever due to their proximity. intending to signal right turn, if a driver mistakenly engages the cruise control lever in the up position, the driver has mistakenly engaged the cruise control acceleration mode which obvious result could lead to an accident,with injuries and deaths. since i have owned this vehicle [2007 m-b clk 350] on 2/8/10, i have engaged the cruise control lever many times intending to signal 'right turn'. the vehicle began to accelertate and i was compelled to hit the brakes to avoid a collision. i realized what i has done and i do blame m-benz for placing the cruise control lever just above the turn signal lever causing easy confusion when you are trying to keep your eyes on the road and not looking for which 'lever' to engage.
