NHTSA Complaint #11021840 — 2006 MERCEDES-BENZ E350

MY MERCEDES BENZ E350 2006 FAILED TO START INTERMITTENTLY DUE TO FUEL PUMP FAILURE. MY CAR WAS HIT BY AN UNINSURED MOTORIST, SINCE THEN, MY CAR BECAME UNRELIABLE TO START, MY CAR FALLS INTO A METAL TYPE OF FUEL TANK. THERE WAS A RECALL #08V303000 WHICH STATES THAT IN THE EVENT OF VEHICLE CRASH, THE ELECTRICAL FUEL PUMP MAY FAIL TO DELIVER THE NEEDED FUEL TO START THE ENGINE, BUT MY VIN IS NOT ON THE LIST, HOWEVER, DURING INVESTIGATION EA 13-003 FOR FUEL SYSTEM, WARRANTY HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO 15 YEARS, WARRANTY HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO 15 YEARS WITH UNLIMITED MILES FOR THE FUEL PUMP ON THE SUBJECT VEHICLE. PENSKE REFUSE TO HONOR THE REPLACEMENT OF MY FUEL TANK BECAUSE ACCORDING TO THE ASST. SERVICE MANAGER, THE WARRANTY ONLY AFFECT ON THE PLASTIC TYPE OF FUEL TANK. IS THIS REALLY TRUE? MY CAR HAS 161,927 MILES AND HE SAID THE METAL TYPE FUEL TANK CAN ONLY BE REPLACED 150,00 OR BELOW. BY THE WAY, IN ORDER REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP, THE WHOLE FUEL TANK SHOULD BE REPLACED BECAUSE MERCEDES BENZ SYSTEMATICALLY INTEGRATED AND REDESIGNED THE WHOLE FUEL PROPULSION TO AVOID THE NAGGING PROBLEM OF AVOIDING THE NAGGING PROBLEM OF FUEL LEAK FROM FUEL PUMP. PLEASE, I NEED YOUR ADVICE ON THIS MATTER WHETHER IF THE METAL TYPE OF FUEL TANK OF 2006 MERCEDES BENZ E350 IS NOT INCLUDED IN 15 YEARS WARRANTY WITH UNLIMITED MILEAGE.
