WHEN REMOVING THE FUEL NOZZLE FROM THE FUEL TANK, THE FUEL SHOOTS OUT OF THE TANK AS IF FROM A HOSE. IN MY CASE IT WENT ALL OVER MY FACE AND CLOTHES DUE TO THE POSITION I WAS IN AT THE TIME (HENCE THE PROPERTY DAMAGE AMOUNT). IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF PRESSURE INSIDE THE TANK. THE DEALER SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK AS WELL AS OTHER PARTS BECAUSE "FOR SOME REASON" THE FUEL WENT INTO OTHER AREAS OF THE CAR, AND "WE'RE NOT SURE HOW." THE POTENTIAL FOR A MAJOR HAZARD, INCLUDING POSSIBLE INJURIES IS TREMENDOUS GIVEN THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT LEAKING (RATHER SPEWING) FUEL BEING SPILLED ON THE GROUND AND (AS IN MY CASE), ON MY PERSON. I AM GRATEFUL NO ONE WAS SMOKING AND THAT WHEN I STARTED MY ENGINE BACK UP TO LEAVE THE GAS STATION, THAT THERE WERE NO SPARKS. *AK.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WDBKK47F9XF.

I HAVE A MERCEDES-BENZ 1999 SLK 230. THE BULB SOCKET FOR THE BRAKE LIGHT LAMPS IN THE REAR LIGHT ASSEMBLY KEEPS FAILING AS THE CONTACTS DO NOT MAKE PROPER CONTACT DURING VIBRATIONS LEADING TO ELECTRIC ARCING AT THE CONTACTS. THE ARCING BUILDS UP DEPOSITS THAT BREAK THE CONNECTIVITY LEADING TO INOPERATIVE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS (A SAFETY ISSUE) AND HEATS UP THE AREA MELTING THE PLASTIC AND FUSING THE SOCKET TO THE ASSEMBLY. THERE IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD HERE BECAUSE OF THE OPEN ELECTRIC ARCING. RELATED TO OPEN CASE PE05051.

MERCEDES BENZ SLK230 1999 car safety problem was reported on July 21, 2004.MERCEDES BENZ SLK230 1999, manufactured by MERCEDES-BENZ USA, LLC. had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS . BRAKE LIGHTS BURN OUT FREQUENTLY ON MY 1999 MERCEDES SLK 230. LIGHT SOCKETS BURN WITH DISCOLORATION AND PLASTIC MELTS AT THE SOCKET AND CIRCUIT BOARD ON THE REAR OF THE TAILLIGHT. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO REMOVE THE BURNED SOCKET FROM THE FIXTURE. THE INTENT OF THE DESIGN IS TO USE FINGER PRESSURE TO TWIST THE SOCKET OUT. DUE TO THE MELTING IT REQUIRES THE USE OF A WRENCH THAT THEN DAMAGES THE SOCKET SOMETIMES TO AN UNUSABLE CONDITION REQUIRING REPLACEMENT AT OWNER COST. DASH "BULB OUT" WARNING LIGHT IS TOO DIM TO NOTICE AND HIDDEN FROM VIEW BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL. BULB OUT WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES SOMETIMES WHEN THERE ARE NO LIGHTS BURNED OUT SO THIS MAKES IT USELESS TO DETERMINE WHAT BULB IS ACTUALLY OUT IF ANY. MY CAR WAS IN THE MERCEDES SHOP FOR 30 DAYS AND RETURNED TO ME WITH THE COMMENT â¿¿CONDITION COULD NOT BE DUPLICATEDâ¿ IN REGARDS TO THE TAILLIGHT. ALL THEY HAD TO DO IS REMOVE IT TO SEE THE BURNT CONDITION BUT THEY CHOSE TO IGNORE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD TO PURCHASE A HANDFUL OF SOCKETS TO KEEP ON HAND AS THEY NEED REPLACING EVERY MONTH OR SO. I EVEN PURCHASED A NEW SET OF TAILLIGHTS, THE ENTIRE HOUSING AND NEW SOCKETS THINKING THIS WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM BUT THEY BURNED OUT A MONTH LATER. I HAVE TURNED THE TAILLIGHT OVER TO NHTSA. *JB .Mileage was 30000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WDBKK47F2XF. Mercedes Benz Slk230 1999 problem was reported in HUNTINGTOWN, MD.

MERCEDES BENZ SLK230 1999 car safety problem was reported on Feb 23, 2010.MERCEDES BENZ SLK230 1999, manufactured by MERCEDES-BENZ USA, LLC. had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . HELLO, THIS IS A PRE-EMPTIVE REPORT OF A PROBLEM WITH A COMPONENT IN 1998-2000 MERCEDES-BENZ SLK 230 ROADSTERS. THE FAILURE OF THIS COMPONENT HAS MANY SYMPTOMS BUT ONE SERIOUS SYMPTOM IS COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHICH CAN BE DANGEROUS. I AM HOPING THAT YOU DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE TO WAIT FOR CRASHES AND DEATHS BEFORE YOU INVESTIGATE. I ASK THAT YOU CONSIDER THE DOCUMENTED PROBLEM HERE AND SEE THE POTENTIAL FOR A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND ASK THE MANUFACTURER TO ADDRESS IT. THE PROBLEM ARISES FROM A POOR DESIGN/MANUFACTURING OF SOLDERING ON A K40 RELAY MODULE WHICH IS AN ELECTRONIC COMPONENT AND PART OF THE ELECTRONICS OF THE CAR THAT CONTROLS THE ENGINE OPERATION. CERTAIN SOLDERED POINTS HAVE A TENDENCY TO GET CORRODED/BURNT OUT OVER TIME THAT AFFECTS THE ENGINE OPERATIONS. THE THREE PICTURES BELOW SHOW THE AFFECTED PART, THE PCB INSIDE AND A CLOSEUP OF THE SOLDERED JOINTS THAT SHOW THE PROBLEM. HTTP://WWW.OPENPRESENCE.ORG/SLK/K40-1.JPG HTTP://WWW.OPENPRESENCE.ORG/SLK/K40-2.JPG HTTP://WWW.OPENPRESENCE.ORG/SLK/K40-3.JPG THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT ACKNOWLEDGED THIS PROBLEM AND WHILE THE OED THROWS UP REPEATABLE CODES ONCE THIS PART STARTS TO DETERIORATE - P1420, P1236, P1235, AND P1525, THE MB DEALER SERVICE CENTERS HAVE NOT BEEN TOLD ABOUT THESE CODES AND THEY TELL CUSTOMERS THAT IT IS UNDEFINED AND PROBABLY DUE TO LOW BATTER VOLTAGE AND SEND THEM WITH THIS PROBLEM STILL THERE UNTIL THE PROBLEM GETS BIG. IF THE CUSTOMER IS LUCKY, THEN IT JUST RESULTS IN A STARTING PROBLEM OR STUMBLING BUT IN SOME CASES CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS THE DANGEROUS PART. THIS PART WAS REDESIGNED IN SLKS FROM 2001 ONWARDS BUT THE MANUFACTURER HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IN EARLIER SLKS OR TO EQUIP THEIR AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTERS TO CATCH THIS PROBLEM BEFORE IT CREATES A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE STAGE OF HAVING BEEN MISDIAGNOSED FOR THE ABOVE CODES. *TR.Mercedes Benz Slk230 1999 problem was reported in MENLO PARK, CA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES.

MERCEDES BENZ SLK230 1999 Visibility Report #10315993
MERCEDES BENZ SLK230 1999 car safety problem was reported on Sept 10, 2009.MERCEDES BENZ SLK230 1999, manufactured by MERCEDES-BENZ USA, LLC. had a problem with VISIBILITY . THIS IS A REPORT ABOUT UNUSUAL FOGGING UP OF ALL VEHICLE WINDOWS IF THE A/C IS SWITCHED OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS MAKES THE CAR UNDRIVEABLE WITHOUT A/C BEING ON ALL THE TIME OR HAVING TO OPEN WINDOWS DUE TO LACK OF VISIBILITY THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. IF, FOR SOME REASON, THE A/C MALFUNCTIONS WHILE DRIVING, THIS COULD POSE A DANGEROUS SITUATION IF PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE WHAT HAPPENED QUICKLY. THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT HAPPENS IF ONE DRIVES WITH THE CLIMATE CONTROL ON RECYCLE INSTEAD OF ALLOWING FRESH AIR IN COLD CLIMATE. BUT IN THIS CASE, IT IS FOGGING UP REGARDLESS OF THE TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY OUTSIDE AND EVEN WHEN THE CLIMATE CONTROL IS NOT ON RECYCLE MODE. THE CAR HAS A FRESH/RECIRC FLAP INSIDE THE DASHBOARD AUTOMATICALLY CONTROLLED BY A FLAP ACTUATOR. IF THIS PART FAILS, AS I SUSPECT IT HAS HAPPENED, THEN THE FLAP CAN GET STUCK IN RECIRC MODE WHICH NO FRESH AIR WILL EVER ENTER THE CAR WHEN WINDOWS ARE CLOSED. EVEN IF A/C IS ON TO PREVENT FOGGING, DRIVING WITH NO FRESH AIR COMING IN CAN BE DANGEROUS AS CARBON DIOXIDE BUILDS UP INSIDE FROM BREATHING LEADING TO SLEEPINESS IN THE DRIVER (WHICH IS WHY DRIVING FOR LONG WITH RECIRC AIR IS NOT RECOMMENDED). THE PROBLEM IS THAT THIS IS A SILENT MALFUNCTION, AND OTHER THAN THE FOGGING PROBLEM, THERE IS NO OTHER INDICATION. I HAVE TAKEN THIS TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAY THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. BUT I CAN RELIABLY REPRODUCE THIS WITHIN 3 MINUTES OF DRIVING WITH A/C OFF. THERE IS NO RECOURSE LEFT FOR ME TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED AND DRIVING THIS WAY IF THERE IS NO FRESH AIR COMING IS DANGEROUS TO ME AND TO OTHERS ON THE ROAD. *TR.Mercedes Benz Slk230 1999 problem was reported in MENLO PARK, CA.
