Vehicle: 2012 Mercedes-Benz C300 4Matic Sport Problem Component: Fuel / Propulsion System Safety Issue Description: My 2012 Mercedes-Benz C300 developed a serious fuel tank leak at approximately 106,460 miles which created overwhelming gasoline fumes and rendered the vehicle unsafe to operate. The gasoline fumes were extremely strong and entered the passenger area. The fumes were severe enough that I became physically overwhelmed from the gasoline exposure and discarded clothing due to gasoline contamination and odor. A local repair facility identified the leaking fuel tank. I was informed the replacement fuel tank was allegedly on extended backorder through Mercedes-Benz channels. Because the vehicle was unsafe to drive and replacement parts were allegedly unavailable for several months, I was forced to tow the vehicle from [XXX] to [XXX] at my own expense in order to locate a repair facility that could obtain a replacement fuel tank and safely repair the vehicle. The repair invoice states: “Installed used lt fuel tank incl switchover fuel pumps replace section of steel fuel line front of tank from lower braided line.” I am submitting this complaint due to: serious gasoline leak safety concerns, severe gasoline fume exposure, potential fire hazard, and the alleged extended unavailability of replacement fuel tanks. Mercedes-Benz USA Case Number: 22302114 INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The contact owns a 2012 Mercedes-Benz. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the Check Engine and High Pressure Fuel Pump warning lights was illuminated. The failure occurred on several different occasions. The vehicle was taken back to the residence. The contact did research and was made aware of an unknown NHTSA Campaign Number however, the VIN was not included. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

During hard acceleration the high-pressure fuel pump fails. I've never had to replace this part on any other car that I have owned. When I research the part for this car, I reviewed many forums and articles complaining about the failure of the high-pressure fuel pump on the Mercedes c250 sport or similar chassis. The vehicle performs normally until there is hard acceleration; then the engine light comes on. This causes the car to lose acceleration power and slows the car down significant and can be dangerous especially if driving on a freeway or highway. The failure of the part has been reported to occur as early as 30k miles.

While trying to pass big rig on freeway my car went into lymph mode and stalled causing the car behind me to brake and almost caused an accident. My engine light came on & after getting it checked out I retrieve the following code P0002. After doing some research it appears this is an ongoing issue with this year and model of car.

2012 C250 has a known defect with high pressure fuel pump. I personally have had an intermittent issue where vehicle will unpredictably stop working under heavy throttle and enter limp mode as the computer throws a fault code. This results in loss of power after the code making vehicle unpredictable and dangerous in passing situations. It leaves you stranded in the passing lane with oncoming traffic with a vehicle that will not accelerate. I have submitted a request multiple times with Mercedes benz corporate who has declined my submission. This issue has been ongoing since 2016. They have offered an extended warranty on the vehicle 10 years and 120,000 miles as they know there is a defect. It is dangerous and needs to be covered for all of the affected vehicles.
Vehicle speed control, Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Nov 13, 2021
When accelerating to pass a vehicle the check engine light comes on and there is loss power. When this happens there is a huge potential of a crash. The car has to be shut off to try and reset this. When you are on the frwy this puts life at danger. The code is a p002 and if you research it Mercedes is aware of this and is most likely a defective high pressure fuel pump problem that needs replacing but there have been no recalls. I have looked it up on you tube and has been on ongoing issue with no recalls as of yet. I am taking my car to dealer on 11/15/2021 for this issue which they will charge me for even though its a safety issue

The rear drivers side had a loud chunking/clanking noise while driving and the vehicle was unable to control and break when in motion. Driving was impossible as the breaking component was a total failure and car could not be controlled while traveling down 45-50mph zone. I reduced my speed to 20-25 mph by letting off on the gas to get better control of the car if breaking would need to be suddenly made. I relied on the shoulder to pull off if any sudden breaking was needed. The car was immediately take to be reviewed by a specialized Mercedes benz mechanic and further inspection proved that the rear subframe on the driver’s (left) side was corroded and broken. The connecting arms are rusted, corroded and rendered the car inoperative. I notified my insurance company as well as car manufacturers corporate office. I researched this issue further and discovered that this reoccurring issue with this make and model. There are a pheletera of recounting of this same issue on various message boards to validate the same issues and callouts I found. The car was taken to the dealership that it was purchased and further inspection showed that the left side subframe/ subframe arms were corroded with rust and broken. The brake lines and fuel tank were equally rusted and corroded. The service manager confirmed that this is defect of the car but it had been part of a recall. I had the car towed for 2nd opinion to another dealership service department to access the car and this callout further validated the corrosion and rust was wide spread and has rendered the car inoperable unless these damages were fixed.

EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FUEL LEAK - FUEL STARTED TO LEAK FROM THE TOP OF THE GAS TANK, INSIDE THE CAR FROM UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE REAR PASSENGER SEAT. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CLOSEST SHOP AVAILABLE WHEN HEAVY FUEL SMELLS WERE NOTICED INSIDE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. A LOCAL TIRE SHOP, HAMIL FIRESTONE, LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND IDENTIFIED THAT FUEL WAS LEAKING DOWN THE FRAME TO THE ROAD. SOMEHOW GASOLINE WAS ACTUALLY LEAKING FROM INSIDE THE CAR. I CONTACTED MERCEDES CORP IMMEDIATELY AND THEY SENT A TOW TRUCK TO COLLECT THE VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THAT DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE ISSUE IT WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE CAR. MERCEDES SAID THAT DESPITE THE CAR BEING OUT OF WARRANTY, SOMETHING LIKE THIS WOULD GO TO "UPPER MGMT" FOR REVIEW AND SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY MERCCEDES. NOW THE VEHICHLE IS STILL AT THE LOCAL MERCEDES DEALERSHIP WHERE THE HAVE CONFIRMED AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL PUMP AND SEALS, AND THAT THE CAR IS DEFINETLY LESKING FUEL OUT ONTO THE ROAD.... BUT DESPITE A RECALL ON ALMOST EVERY OTHER 2012 MODEL CAR FOR THE SAME ISSUE, THEY ARE SAYING BECAUSE THIS VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IT DOESN'T MATTER THAT IT IS DOING THE SAME THING. THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. I EXPLAINED THAT I OR MY CHILDREN, OR EVEN ALL OF US COULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN A FATAL CAR FIRE DUE TO THE ISSUE!!! MERCEDES DIRECT RESPONSE WAS, "THAT IS THE RISK OF DRIVING A VEHICLE OUT OF WARRANTY." UNACCEPTABLE!!!

I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE SINCE I PURCHASED IT. STARTING WITH ME NOT HAVING ENOUGH POWER FROM A START, IN AN ATTEMPT TO GAIN ENOUGH POWER TO DRIVE AT A SAFE SPEED FROM THE START, AS IF THE VEHICLE LAGS & NO MATTER THE GASOLINE OR SERVICE, THE PROBLEM NEVER CORRECTS. WHEN I'M TRYING TO GAIN SPEED TO MAINTAIN WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC SAFELY THE VEHICLE LAGS NOTABLY BEFORE GAINING SPEED. I'M NOW HAVING TO REPLACE THE ENGINE BC THE OIL COOLANT HOSE BURST WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY CHILD IN THE CAR. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ACTIVATED BUT THE ONLY NOTICE DISPLAYED ON THE DASH WAS THE ENGINE COOLANT WHEN IT WAS LOW. WHEN THE HOSE BURST WHILE I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 60MPH I HEARD A POP SOUND UNDER THE HOOD, SAW SMOKE COMING FROM THE EXHAUST, THEN A CLANKING NOISE UNDER THE HOOD THAT GOT LOUDER & LOUDER UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF OF THE HIGHWAY, & THEN I NOTICED A VERY LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL ON THE GROUND THAT LEFT A TRAIL ALONG THE GROUND FROM MY VEHICLE. THAT WAS VERY DANGEROUS AS MY VEHICLE LOST POWER DURING THAT INCIDENT. I'M TOLD BY THE MECHANIC, THE ENGINE HAS TO BE REPLACED. THIS HAPPENED WITHOUT A WARNING. THE MERCEDES BENZ IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SAFE & RELIABLE LUXURY VEHICLE & NOT A NIGHTMARE TO HAVE FOR THE OWNER.

THE REAR SUBFRAME HAS CORRODED AROUND THE AREAS WHERE THE TRAILING ARM AND CONTROL ARM MEET THE SUBFRAME ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE, AND HAS DISINTEGRATED AROUND THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR TRAILING ARM CAUSING IT TO HAVE DETACHED, ALONG WITH A PIECE OF THE SUBFRAME. THE METAL OF THE SUBFRAME IS DISTORTED AROUND THE AREA OF THE BREAK. THE DETACHED TRAILING ARM AND PIECE OF SUBFRAME ARE NOW MAKING CONTACT WITH THE FUEL TANK AS WELL. THE FUEL TANK COULD HAVE EASILY RUPTURED AND IGNITED WHEN THIS CAR WAS STILL IN OPERATION, AS THIS CAR WAS DRIVEN FOR SEVERAL DAYS BEFORE THE MANUFACTURING DEFECT WAS DISCOVERED. THE FAILURE HAPPENED WHEN COMING TO A GENTLE STOP FROM 20-30 MILES PER HOUR ON A STRAIGHT ROAD. THERE WAS A LOUD SNAPPING NOISE FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR. THIS CAR HAD 92,000 MILES AT TIME OF THE STRUCTURAL FAILURE AND HAS BEEN REGULARLY SERVICED, EXCLUSIVELY AT MERCEDES-BENZ. MERCEDES-BENZ USA CUSTOMER SERVICE IS UNABLE TO OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THIS EXACT ISSUE HAS LED TO A RECALL OF THE SAME MODEL IN CANADA, AND THERE ARE COUNTLESS NHTSA REPORTS DESCRIBING SIMILAR STRUCTURAL FAILURES. MERCEDES-BENZ USA IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND IS ALSO AWARE THAT THERE IS A RECALL IN CANADA, BUT HAS MADE IT CLEAR THAT GOODWILL WILL NOT BE EXTENDED.

THERE ARE SMALL CRACKS THAT HAVE DEVELOPED IN THE TOP OF THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. THIS ALLOWS FUEL TO LEAK OUT OF THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP AND POOL IN THE CENTER OF THE PUMP WHERE THERE ARE A NUMBER OF ELECTRICAL WIRES THAT ARE SUBMERGED IN FUEL. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DEADLY PROBLEM AS THERE IS A REAL POTENTIAL FOR IGNITION OF THE LEAKED FUEL WHICH IS RIGHT UNDERNEATH THE DRIVERS SIDE PASSENGER SEAT WHERE MY 5 YEAR OLD'S CHILD SEAT IS LOCATED. THERE IS ALSO AN EXTREMELY STRONG ODOR OF GAS INSIDE THE CAR WHICH IS STRONG ENOUGH TO CAUSE LIGHT HEADEDNESS AND POSSIBLE SYNCOPE. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE NTSB OPENED UP AN INVESTIGATION OF THIS ISSUE THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION OPENED A PROBE IN JANUARY 2012 AFTER RECEIVING 20 REPORTS IN 2003-2006 E55 AMG VEHICLES AND EXPANDED THE PROBE LAST YEAR INTO ALL 2003-2008 E-CLASS VEHICLES. OWNERS SAID THEY REPORTED A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE FUEL BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THEIR VEHICLE, PARTICULARLY AFTER REFILLING THE FUEL TANK. MANY COMPLAINTS SAID THE ODOR SUBSIDED AFTER DRIVING SOME DISTANCE THEREBY LOWERING THE FUEL LEVEL IN THE TANK. OTHER OWNERS REPORTED THEY WOULD ONLY FILL THE GAS TANK TO ABOUT THREE-QUARTERS FULL TO AVOID THE ODOR. SOME OWNERS SAID FUEL LEAKED FROM THE FUEL FILTER/SENDER, LOCATED ON THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, AND COLLECTED ON TOP OF THE TANK. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT THERE ARE OTHER MODELS AND YEAR MODELS THAT ARE AFFECTED AND DID NOT FALL UNDER THE MERCEDES RECALL CAMPAIGN.

POWER LOSS WHEN ACCELERATING. I PULLED OUT IN TRAFFIC AND ACCELERATED BUT...I LOSS POWER AND ALMOST GOT RUN OVER FROM THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC!!! MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON! THIS IS A HORRIBLE ISSUE FOR ANYONE THAT HAS EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. I'M HOPING THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY FATALITIES DO TO THIS PROBLEM.

I FIRST NOTICED THIS PROBLEM ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GETTING READY TO PASS A BIG RIG. ABOUT 2 SECONDS AFTER I EXCELERATED I NOTICED THAT I LOST POWER TO THE ENGINE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. I KEPT MY FOOT ON THE PEDAL HOPING TO REGAIN POWER TO PASS THE BIG RIG. I HAD NO SUCH LUCK. SHORTLY AFTER I HAD VEHICLES BEHIND ME HAVING TO SLOW DOWN BECAUSE MY CAR WOULDN'T EXCELERATE TO THE DESIRED SPEED. I FINALLY MADE MY WAY OUT OF THE HIGHWAY TO CHECK MY ENGINE. I COULDN'T SEE A PROBLEM BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON AND THE LOSS OF POWER CONTINUED. I HAD TO DRIVE MY CAR HOME SLOW. THE NEXT DAY I NOTICED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD TURNED OFF AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR NORMAL. THE LOSS OF POWER IN THAT SITUATION WAS SCARY AND COULD HAVE GONE A LOT WORSE. I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE SEEN BLOGS AND YOUTUBE VIDEOS WHO DESCRIBE SIMILAR EXPERIENCES. PLEASE HELP FIND A SOLUTION BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT DO TO THIS PROBLEM.

THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED COULD NOT START THE CAR. CAR WAS DRIVEN THEN TURNED OFF, WHEN YOU RETURN TO THE VEHICLE, IT WILL NOT TURN ON.EVERYTHING WAS UNRESPONSIVE,WHICH WONT TURN ON ENGINE. HAD TO TOW TO DEALERSHIP IT COST ME 1800.00. SO THEY SAID THE ELECTRICAL FOR CAR WAS BAD. THEN MY FUEL TANK LEAKED, THE COMPONETS TO THE FUEL TANK ALL WERE BAD, AND L COULD SMELL THE GAS IN MY CAR AND GARAGE. COST ME 805.00 TO REPAIR. LUCKY IT DID NOT BLOW UP

WHEN I'M DRIVING THE CAR SEEMS TO LOOSE POWER THEN IT ACCELERATES LIKE IT HIT TURBO POWER AND THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES UP. IT ONLY HAS 57000 MILES. WHEN I DRIVE IT ON ECO IT RUNS FINE AND WHEN I CHANGE TO S START GIVING PROBLEMS. THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT STALLS, ALMOST AS IF IT'S GETTING NO FUEL. MY MECHANIC ADVISE ME TO GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU AND SEE IF YOU CAN ADVISE ME ON WHAT TO DO WITH IT, BECAUSE IT SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING. THE ACCELERATION ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE PRESENT AN IMMINENT THREAT TO SAFETY OF BOTH DRIVER AND OTHER VEHICLES.

I BOUGHT THE CERTIFIED CAR AT 50K AND AT 70K MILES, RIGHT AFTER THE WARRANTY ENDED - CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WILL COST $8K DUE TO CAMSHAFTS TO REPAIR!! THEY EVEN SUGGESTED THAT I SHOULD CONSIDER TRADING THE CAR IN! KEEP IN MIND I STILL OWE $28K SO THAT OPTION IS OUT! SINCE THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STILL ON EVEN AFTER I GOT IT REPAIRED AT A LOCAL/AFFORDABLE MECHANIC AND IT'S ABOUT 110K MILEAGE AND THE ENGINE IS RATTLING AS IT RUNS. THIS IS MY 3RD BENZ AND THE FIRST 2 FAILED DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THESE GERMAN CARS CAUSE SO MANY PROBLEMS AND SO COSTLY TO REPAIR. WHAT HAPPEN TO YOU PAY FOR WHAT YOU GET!!! TODAY, WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR JUST SLOWLY STOP AND THE ENGINE CUT OFF! AAA CAME TO CHECK AND IT'S NOT THE BATTERY SO WILL NEED TO GET TOWED. STILL OWE $10K LEFT- I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO! NO OTHER CAR TO DRIVE .

FEUL TANK LEAK WHEN I PUT ANY AMOUNT OF GAS INTO CAR IT IS LEAKING OUT ON TO THE GROUND WHILE IM DRIVING AND WHEN IM AT A STANDSTILL. THE SMELL IS VERY STRONG AND I SEE THE TRAIL IN MY REARVIEW MIRROR. I READ ON THE WEBSITE THAT IS ONE OF THE PROBLEMS THAT THIS CAR IS HAVING IT WAS REPORTED MARCH 2013 BUT WHEN I CALL THE DEALERSHIP THEY ARE TELLING IT IS NOT A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE. I WENT TO AUTOZONE TO DO A CHECK AND IT TOLD IT WAS THE FEUL CAPPED WHICH I SWITCH AND THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. NOW I WENT TO DO MY INSPECTION AND IT FAILED DUE TO THIS PROBLEM.
