NHTSA Complaint #11299184 — 2016 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE300D

SINCE THE TIME I PURCHASED THIS CAR, THE BRAKES HAVE REPEATEDLY MADE LOUD SQUEALING NOISES. MERCEDES HAS REPEATEDLY EXAMINED THE CAR AND TOLD US IT IS FINE AND NOT DANGEROUS. THEY HAVE NEVER FIXED THE NOISE. HOWEVER, MORE RECENTLY IN DECEMBER 2019, THE CAR DEVELOPED A STRONG FUEL ORDER IN BOTH THE CABIN AND OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. WE BROUGHT IT TO A MECHANIC WHO SAID IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE CLAMP AND THE FUEL LINE. HE CALLED THE LOCAL MERCEDES DEALER WHO TOLD HIM TO ADJUST THE CLAMP. THAT HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. THE SMELL IS VERY STRONG, AND I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. FROM ONLINE SEARCHES, I HAVE FOUND OTHER PEOPLE SEEM TO BE EXPERIENCING THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM WITH MERCEDES CARS.
