NHTSA Complaint #10235778 — 1994 MERCEDES BENZ E CLASS

I OWN A 1994 MB E320,MY ASR LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON FOR ABOUT 4 DAYS,TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM I ADDED A FUEL ADDITIVE INTO TANK BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY SEEMED LIKE A FUEL PROBLEM. THE CAR DID RUN OK .A COUPLE OF WEEKS WENT BY AND SEEMED FINE, BUT THE CAR SLOWLY STARTED TO ACT UP AGAIN AND CAUGHT US ALL BY SURPRISE WHEN THE ASR LIGHT CAME ON AND SO DID LIMP HOME MODE, WE WERE ALMOST INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT TWICE AND NOW THE CAR SEEMS TO BE SHUTTING OFF MORE OFTEN THAN BEFORE, AND NOW THE ASR DOES NOT TURN OFF AND IS STILL IN LIMP MODE. I AM VERY AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR BUT I HAVE NO CHOICE. I'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING TO ALOT OF MERCEDES BENZ OWNER'S IN THIS CLASS. I TOOK MY CAR TO A CERTIFIED MB MECHANIC AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP,THIS ALL WAS WORTHLESS AND A WAIST OF MONEY AS IT SEEMS NEITHER NEW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR. THIS IS THE ONLY VEHICLE I HAVE, SO I HAVE TO DEPEND ON IT EVEN THOUGH ITS NOT RELIABLE ANY MORE. MY FAMILY MEANS THE WORLD TO ME BUT, WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO MERCEDES BENZ? I CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER CAR JUST NOW OR TO BE TAKING IT BACK AND FORTH TO BE SERVICED AND BE ADDING NEW PARTS TO IT, BEING THERE IS REALLY NOTHING WRONG WITH THE ONES BEING REPLACED, THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT,AND THEY NEED TO OWN UP TO IT. THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM TO IGNORE OR SWEEP UNDER THE RUG. MY CAR IS THE WAY IT IS BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT AND SO ARE SOME OF MY PROBLEMS, BECAUSE LIKE I SAID BEFORE THIS VEHICLE IS THE SOURCE OF INCOME AS IT IS THE TRANSPORTATION OF 3CHILDREN ATTENDING SCHOOL AND MY NEWBORN BABY TO DR.VISITS. MERCEDES BENZ IF YOU READ THIS COMPLAINT AND I KNOW YOU WILL, PRAY NOTHING HAPPENS TO ME OR MY FAMILY BECAUSE YOU WILL BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS,IF YOU WISH NOT TO BE, COME PICK UP YOUR CAR AND PAY BACK WHAT I PAID FOR IT SO I CAN BUY ME A RELIABLE CAR OR JUST MAKE IT RIGHT !! *TR
