The vehicle has a continental system in it that I cannot explain where it came from or how it ended up in the vehicle and it has caused my vehicle to drive horribly and it will not even start a times and it has even sped out of control at times it does not allow the air system meaning heat and air conditioning to work or the touch screen and it causes all kinds of weird noises in the vehicle also has a system called autoliv in it which is something Daimler which is not part of Christ anymore I found out at this time - Aug 29, 2021Fuel/propulsion system
After filling the car with gasoline, I get a strong odor of gasoline in the cabin of the car. After the fuel level gets to about 7/8 full the issue goes away. After further inspection the odor seems to be strongest in the passenger side aft wheel well. Excessive fuel vapors are harmful to people and could cause explosion or fire. - Aug 22, 2021Forward collision avoidance › Warnings
The car won't tell me when I'm too close to another vehicle now and I can't use the cruise control either and the steering wheel is shaking while driving
