MERCEDES BENZ E55 2005 car safety problem was reported on Apr 10, 2012.MERCEDES BENZ E55 2005, manufactured by MERCEDES-BENZ USA, LLC. had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . I FILLED MY CAR UP WITH GAS THIS MORNING, AND WHEN I GOT HOME AND PARKED IN THE GARAGE, THERE WAS AN INCREDIBLY STRONG SMELL OF GAS INSIDE THE CAR. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT IT MAY BE THE FUEL SENDING UNIT WITH THE RECALL FROM 2008. I LIFTED UP THE REAR SEAT AND, SURE ENOUGH, THERE WAS GASOLINE FILLING THE WELL AROUND THE DRIVER'S SIDE FUEL SENDING UNIT. MY CAR HAD THE RECALL WORK COMPLETED IN 2008, SO I CALLED THE DEALER AND TOLD THEM THAT THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED AGAIN. I ASKED THEM IF THEY WERE GOING TO COVER IT SINCE THE RECALL PROBLEM OBVIOUSLY WASN'T FIXED, AND THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID, "ONCE RECALL WORK IS COMPLETED, THAT'S IT. IT'S CONSIDERED DONE, AND ANY FUTURE REPAIRS ARE THE OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY." THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE. FUEL LEAKING INTO THE CABIN AND ALSO DOWN AROUND THE GAS TANK ONTO THE HOT EXHAUST IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. IS IT GOING TO TAKE AN EXPLOSION AND SOMEBODY GETTING KILLED OR HURT FOR MERCEDES TO FIX THIS PROBLEM?! THIS NEEDS TO BE HANDLED BY MERCEDES IMMEDIATELY. I'M AMAZED BY HOW MANY OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THIS. *TR.Mileage was 68780 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WDBUF76J05A. Mercedes Benz E55 2005 problem was reported in SCOTTSDALE, AZ.

I FILLED UP MY CAR WITH GAS ON FRIDAY, MAY 4, 2012 AND THEN WENT OUT. I PARKED MY CAR ON THE ROAD AND CAME BACK TO IT A COUPLE HOURS LATER. THERE WAS AN OVERPOWERING GASOLINE SMELL IN THE AREA AS I WALKED BY AND THOUGHT IT WAS ANOTHER CAR OR GAS WAS DUMPED ON THE ROAD. A COUPLE HOURS LATER I GOT INTO MY CAR AND DROVE HOME. THE GAS SMELL WAS STILL IN THE AREA WHEN I LEFT. I PARKED MY CAR AT HOME AND CHECKED IT ON SATURDAY MORNING. THE GAS SMELL WAS LESS SO I PARKED THE CAR ON THE ROAD THINKING IT WOULD BE SAFE. IN THE EVENING, I WALKED PAST MY CAR AND THE GAS SMELL WAS STRONG AGAIN. I CALLED MY LOCAL MERCEDES DEALER ON MONDAY MORNING REGARDING THE LEAK AND LET THEM KNOW ABOUT THE GAS SMELL AND THAT THE GAS GAUGE DROPPED A COUPLE OF BARS EVEN THOUGH I HAD ONLY DRIVE 13 MILES. I TOWED THE CAR IN AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR CALLED BACK WITH THE RESULT: THERE WAS A TEAR IN THE SEAL THAT IS A PART OF THE FUEL PUMP/SENDING UNIT. THEY CALLED BACK LATER TO TELL ME "DIAGNOSED THE RIGHT SIDE FUEL PUMP HAS A HOLE BURNT THROUGH HOUSING CAUSING FUEL TO LEAK OUT NEAR CONNECTOR HOUSING". THIS SITUATION IS VERY DISMAYING AND SCARY AS THE CAR HAD THE SAME FUEL PUMPS REPLACED UNDER A RECALL IN 2008. THE WORST THING IS THERE WAS A BURN IN THE FUEL PUMP HOUSING WHICH COULD HAVE ENDED IN A MUCH WORSE SITUATION WITH A FULL FUEL TANK...

THE CAR IS PARKED IN THE GARAGE AT NIGHT AND WHEN I GO OUT THERE, THE ENTIRE GARAGE SMELLS OF GASOLINE. I FEEL THE ONLY THING TO DO IS TO NOT FILL THE CAR PAST THE 3/4 TANK LEVEL. I WILL BRING IT TO MERCEDES BUT FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD IT'S A DEFAULT ON THE CARS FUEL TANK COSTING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO REPAIR. I ALSO BELIEVE IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPENS OUT THERE CAUSED BY GASOLINE FUMES AND PERHAPS SOME TYPE OF IGNITER RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

I REMOVED THE REAR SEAT AND ACCESS COVER TO THE FUEL PUMP AND NOTICED A LARGE PUDDLE OF GAS ACCUMULATED/LEAKING AROUND THE FUEL PUMP SENDER UNIT AREA.

MERCEDES BENZ E55 2005 car safety problem was reported on Dec 28, 2011.MERCEDES BENZ E55 2005, manufactured by MERCEDES-BENZ USA, LLC. had a problem with FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM . IN DECEMBER 2011 I DETECTED A STRONG FUEL SMELL FROM INSIDE THE CABIN OF THE CAR. THE SMELL WAS SO STRONG THAT I FELT IT WAS IN MY BEST INTEREST TO DRIVE TO THE NEAREST EUROPEAN CAR SERVICE CENTER, SINCE THE NEAREST MB SERVICE CENTER IS 45 MINUTES AWAY. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE CHARCOAL FILTERS UNDER THE REAR SEAT WERE LEAKING, CAUSING FUEL TO POOL. WE CALLED THE MB SERVICE CENTER AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE CHARCOAL FILTERS BUT IT WAS CLOSED. I WAS INCREDULOUS THAT SUCH A SERIOUS PROBLEM (ANY LEAKING FUEL ISSUE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED SERIOUS) WAS COMPLETELY IGNORED BY MB AND I WAS ON MY OWN. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO PAY TO HAVE THE FILTERS REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE OUT OF FEAR OF MY CAR EXPLODING. NOW, JULY 2012, THE CHARCOAL FILTER VALVE IS LEAKING AND CAUSING ANOTHER GAS ODOR. SO I STARTED RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE AND WAS SURPRISED TO FIND A GREAT NUMBER OF OTHER CONSUMERS FACING THE SAME ISSUES AS MYSELF. EVERYONE EXPERIENCING THESE ISSUES AFTER THE RECALL WAS CLOSED SEEMS TO BE IN THE SAME BOAT, MB REFUSING TO ISSUE ANOTHER RECALL AND/OR COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIRS. I BELIEVE THAT MB SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTING ALL ISSUES RELATED TO LEAKING FUEL FOR THE CONTINUED SAFETY OF ALL MB OWNERS. QUITE FRANKLY, I'M SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR! *JS.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 101000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WDBUF76J05A.

THIS COMPLAINT IS IN REFERENCE TO NHTSA ACTION #PE12001. DURING 2009, AT APPROXIMATELY 31K MILES ON THE VEHICLE (2005 MERCEDES BENZ E55), A STRONG FUEL SMELL/ODOR WAS EVIDENT IN THE PASSENGER CABIN. THE SMELL WAS STRONGEST AT THE REAR SEAT DRIVER'S SIDE. THIS ISSUE WAS BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF A SERVICE ADVISOR AT A MERCEDES BENZ AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER.

THE FUEL TANK ON THIS VEHICLE LEAKS WHENEVER THE TANK IS FILLED TO THE TOP. THE LEAK OCCURS INDEPENDENTLY OF WHETHER THE CAR IS DRIVEN OR PARKED (ENGINE OFF). ENOUGH FUEL LEAKS OUT THAT IT RUNS DOWN ADJACENT COMPONENTS, TO THE CAR'S UNDERCARRIAGE PANELING, AND THROUGH A WEEP HOLE ON THE CAR'S PLASTIC PANELING, AND FINALLY ONTO THE GROUND. THE NOXIOUS ODOR OF RAW FUEL IS PLAINLY APPARENT IN AND AROUND THE CAR WHENEVER IT¿�S LEAKING. THE ONLY THING THAT KEEPS THE PROBLEM FROM OCCURRING IS TO NOT FILL THE TANK TO THE TOP. THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT WHILE I¿�VE OWNED IT. I BOUGHT IT IN 2009 WITH APPROXIMATELY 50,000 MILES ON IT. THE PROBLEM EXISTED WITH THE ORIGINAL FUEL TANK, AND FUEL SENDING UNIT THAT WAS INSTALLED ON THE CAR WHEN IT WAS BEING ASSEMBLED. SINCE THEN I¿�VE REPLACED THE FUEL SENDING UNIT AND FUEL SENDING UNIT GASKET IN HOPES OF CURING THE PROBLEM. THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE REPLACEMENT FUEL SENDING UNIT IS NON-OEM.

MERCEDES BENZ E55 2005 car safety problem was reported on June 12, 2012.MERCEDES BENZ E55 2005, manufactured by Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . INITIALLY, AFTER TOPPING OFF THE FUEL TANK AND PARKING THE CAR IN MY GARAGE, I NOTICED A STRONG GASOLINE ODOR. A CLOSE INSPECTION OF THE ENGINE BAY, GAS CAP, AND UNDER THE CAR DID NOT REVEAL ANY NOTICEABLE LEAKS SO I SUSPECTED THAT SOME GASOLINE MUST HAVE DRIPPED DOWN THE OVERFLOW TUBE WHEN FILLING. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR A DAY THE ODOR BEGAN TO DISSIPATE. THE PROBLEM RE-OCCURRED AFTER FILLING THE TANK AGAIN WHERE I WAS CAREFUL TO ENSURE THAT NO FUEL LEAKED OUTSIDE OF THE FILLER TUBE. OCCASIONALLY, I NOW RECEIVE AN INTERMITTENT EMISSIONS LIGHT ON MY DASH. THE WARNING LIGHT DOES NOT STAY ON LONG ENOUGH TO RECORD A CODE WHEN CHECKED AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THE ODOR APPEARS TO BE COMING FROM THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR. I NOW NOW FILL IT TO NO MORE THAN 3/4 OF A TANK AND DRIVE IT VERY LITTLE UNTIL I CAN HAVE SOMEONE SUCCESSFULLY LOCATE THE SOURCE OF THIS LEAK. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 72975 miles.

MERCEDES BENZ E55 2005 car safety problem was reported on June 10, 2011.MERCEDES BENZ E55 2005, manufactured by Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . ON JUNE 9, 2011, THERE WAS A DETECTABLE FUEL SMELL ON THE INTERIOR AND IMMEDIATELY SURROUNDING THE EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. ON JUNE 10, 2011, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MERCEDES-BENZ OF LAGUNA NIGUEL, CA. THE MERCEDES TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS A BAD FUEL SENDER UNIT. MERCEDES FAILED TO MENTION AT THE TIME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE WHICH THEY DESCRIBED AS "MECHANICAL STRESS ON THE FUEL FILTER MODULE" (VOLUNTARY EMISSIONS RECALL CAMPAIGN #2008-020001). PARTS AND LABOR TO REPLACE THE FUEL SENDER UNITS COST $1,620.20. THIS REPAIR SEEMED TO HAVE CORRECTED THE ISSUE TEMPORARILY. ON OCTOBER 17, 2013 I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO MERCEDES-BENZ OF FOOTHILL RANCH, CA FOR ROUTINE SERVICE. THE TECHNICIAN AGAIN IDENTIFIED THE SMELL OF GAS IN THE VEHICLE AND DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A CRACK IN THE FUEL SENDER UNIT. THE MERCEDES SERVICE ASSOCIATED QUOTED APPROXIMATELY $1,600 TO AGAIN REPAIR THIS ISSUE. THIS ISSUE IS CLEARLY A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE DESIGN AND MERCEDES CONTINUES TO CHARGE ITS CUSTOMERS TO REPAIR THIS FLAW. I'M CONCERNED FOR MY HEALTH AND THE HEALTH OF MY WIFE AND TWO CHILDREN, AGES 1 AND 4. INHALING GASOLINE, ESPECIALLY THE BENZENE COMPONENT IS KNOWN TO INCREASE THE RISK OF DEVELOPING CANCER IN HUMANS.

MERCEDES BENZ E55 2005 car safety problem was reported on Nov 01, 2013.MERCEDES BENZ E55 2005, manufactured by Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . UPON FILLING OUR CAR AT THE LOCAL GAS STATION, WE RETURNED HOME AND PARKED THE CAR IN OUR GARAGE. THE NEXT MORNING, I ENTERED THE GARAGE TO FIND AN INCREDIBLY STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE VAPORS. THE SMELL WAS STRONGER THAN ANY GAS STATION OR MECHANIC SHOP I'VE EVER BEEN TO. IT WAS SO INCREDIBLY STRONG, I IMMEDIATELY OPENED THE GARAGE DOOR. I FEARED TO ACTUALLY TURN THE CAR ON GIVEN THE STRONG PRESENCE OF FUEL VAPORS ON A HOT PHOENIX DAY INSIDE MY HOME SO I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PUSHED IT OUT OF THE HOME FOR A WHILE TO AIR THINGS OUT. AFTER SUFFICIENT TIME HAD PASSED, I CAUTIOUSLY TURNED THE CAR ON (OUTSIDE THE HOME) AND TOOK IT TO A WELL RESPECTED MECHANIC SPECIALIZING IN MERCEDES BENZ VEHICLES ONLY. AFTER INSPECTION HE INDICATED THE FUEL TANK HAD A LEAK AND THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED INCLUDING FUEL SENDERS AND THE TANK ITSELF. TO MY SHOCK, I OBSERVED THE LEAK AND THE PUDDLED FUEL DIRECTLY UNDERNEATH MY INFANT'S CAR SEAT! GIVEN THE COST OF THE REPAIR I WAS QUOTED, I CHOSE TO DO SOME INVESTIGATION ON MY OWN AND IT SEEMS THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS AND EVEN THE NHTSA HAS STARTED IT'S OWN INVESTIGATION UNDER ACTION NUMBER PE12001. GIVEN THE CONCENTRATION OF FUEL VAPORS THAT BUILT UP INSIDE MY GARAGE (UNDERNEATH OUR CHILD'S NURSERY), IN THE PRESENCE OF A GAS WATER HEATER, AN ELECTRIC FRIDGE MOTOR, AND OF COURSE THE VEHICLE ITSELF, I'M IMPLORING THE NHTSA TO PLEASE HELP US CONSUMERS. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 55000 miles.

I HAD/HAVE A STRONG FUEL SMELL AFTER FILLING MY TANK. I REPORTED THIS TO THE LOCAL MERCEDES DEALER, MODESTO EUROPEAN, BACK IN EARLY 2012, BUT WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE WAS PAST THE WARRANTY PERIOD SO TO INVESTIGE WOULD COST $129/HOUR (I THINK THAT WAS THE NUMBER) AND WOULD T TAKE UP TO 4 HOURS TO DIAGONSE; AND THEN I WOULD STILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY NEEDED REPAIRS. SINCE I DID NOT SEE GAS LEAKING, I PUT OFF THE INSPECTION THINKING I WOULD AS SOME POINT SEE GAS LEAKING IF IT WERE A MAJOR PROBLEM. I STILL GET THE GAS SMELL EVERY TIME I FILL UP, BUT NEVER SAW GAS ON MY GARAGE FLOOR OR ELSEWHERE. THIS WEEK I LEARNED FROM A REPAIR SHOP WHICH IS NOT A MERCEDES DEALER THAT THIS IS A VERY TYPICAL PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS AND IT WAS SUGGESTED I CONTACT YOU TO SEE IF THERE HAS BEEN ANY NTSA ACTION ON THIS PROBLEM. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 105121 miles.

LIKE MANY BEFORE ME I AM CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING THE SMELL OF FUEL IN THE CABIN OF MY MB. THIS CREATES A BIG PROBLEM IN SO MANY WAYS; FIRST AND FOREMOST THE DANGER OF INHALING GAS FUMES IS BOTH TOXIC AND CAUSES IMMEDIATE DIZZINESS EVEN IN SMALL DOSES (WHEN INHALED) WITH ALL THE WINDOWS DOWN, THE LONG TERM EFFECTS OF INHALATION CAN CAUSE CANCER AND OTHER BODILY HARM. SECOND, THE FACT THAT THERE IS EXPOSED FUEL TO AIR MAKES GAS MORE COMBUSTIBLE AND LETHAL WHEN INTRODUCED TO HEAT, FIRE, FRICTION, AND MAY OTHER FACTORS OF THE FIRE TRIANGLE. THIRD, THESE CARS WITH EXPOSED FUEL ISSUES ARE ALSO HAZARDOUS TO OTHER MOTORISTS, PEDESTRIANS, MOTORCYCLE RIDERS, AND SO ON WHOM MAY COME IN CONTACT WITH THESE VEHICLES. EXPOSED FUEL IS DANGEROUS, AND TOXIC IN SHORT AND I HOPE THE NHTSA AND MERCEDES BENZ WILL COME TO A QUICK RESOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM THESE PARTICULAR LUXURY CARS ARE HAVING. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 71354 miles.

MERCEDES BENZ E55 2005 car safety problem was reported on May 14, 2014.MERCEDES BENZ E55 2005, manufactured by Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . AT APPROXIMATELY 9:00 PM ON MAY 14TH, 2014 I NOTICED STRONG FUEL ODOR SURROUNDING MY ENTIRE VEHICLE UPON EXITING THE CABIN. I HAD JUST REFUELED AND WAS STOPPING AT A GROCERY STORE ON THE WAY HOME. I DID A QUICK VISUAL AND SNIFF CHECK AROUND THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE SMELL WAS STRONGEST IN THE VICINITY OF THE PASSENGER REAR WHEEL ARCH. ABOUT 20 MINUTES LATER I RETURNED TO MY VEHICLE AND THE ODOR WAS NOTICEABLY STRONGER. IN ADDITION TO THAT, THERE WAS NOW AN APPROXIMATELY 2 FOOT BY 3 FOOT POOL OF GASOLINE ON THE GROUND ON THE PASSENGER REAR SIDE. FURTHERMORE, GASOLINE FUMES COULD NOW BE SMELLED INSIDE THE VEHICLE AS WELL. I HAD MY WIFE MOVE THE CAR OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT AND COULD CLEARLY SEE A TRAIL OF GASOLINE DRIPPING FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. I WAS PREVIOUSLY AWARE OF THIS AS A POTENTIAL ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES BUT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED THIS ON MY OWN VEHICLE UNTIL NOW. I KNEW BETTER THAN TO TOP OFF PAST THE AUTOMATIC PUMP SHUTOFF - AND I IN FACT DID NOT TOP OFF - AND THIS IS NOT A CASE OF FUEL SPRAYING OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. THERE IS A REASON THAT WOULD CAUSE SUCH A LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL TO BE LEAKING FROM THESE VEHICLE'S FUEL SYSTEMS. I'VE HAD COUNTLESS CARS IN MY LIFE AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED TO ME. I HAVE THE ORIGINAL WINDOW STICKER FOR MY VEHICLE SHOWING AN ORIGINAL COST OF CLOSE TO $90,000. TO HAVE A CONDITION WHERE FUEL IS LEAKING LIKE THIS IS SIMPLY UNACCEPTABLE - NOT TO MENTION POTENTIALLY DEADLY. I BELIEVE THAT MERCEDES BENZ STATES THERE IS NOT ANY DANGER OF IGNITION, BUT WHAT IF THE IGNITION SOURCE COMES FROM SOME OTHER SOURCE UNRELATED TO THE VEHICLE SUCH AS A DISCARDED CIGARETTE OR SOME OTHER TYPE OF SPARK? ARE WE GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL PEOPLE DIE IN ORDER TO GET MERCEDES BENZ TO ADMIT THAT THERE IS A PRODUCT FLAW? *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 114856 miles.

MERCEDES BENZ E55 2005 Fuel/propulsion System Report #10653828

MERCEDES BENZ E55 2005 car safety problem was reported on Nov 02, 2014.MERCEDES BENZ E55 2005, manufactured by Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. had a problem with FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM . TOPPED THE GAS TANK WITH GASOLINE ON 11/02/14, ONLY TO FIND THE SMELL OF GASOLINE INSIDE THE VEHICLE. LATER THAT SAME DAY MY WIFE AND KID NOTICED THE SMELL AS WELL AND THAT MADE IT A CONCERN FOR ME TO FIND THE PROBLEM. AFTER A SNIFF TEST, I LOCATED A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL EMITTING FROM UNDER THE REAR DRIVER SIDE SEAT. I DETACHED THE REAR SEAT CUSHION AND THE COVER PLATE THAT CONCEALS THE FUEL SENDER UNIT.

MERCEDES BENZ E55 2005 car safety problem was reported on July 12, 2007.MERCEDES BENZ E55 2005, manufactured by Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. had a problem with FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM . I FILLED MY TANK WITH GAS DROVE IT HOME AND PARKED IT IN MY GARAGE. LATER I WENT OUT TO THE GARAGE AND SMELLED A VERY STRONG ODOR OF GAS. I THOUGHT MY HUSBAND MIGHT HAVE LEFT A CONTAINER OF GAS IN THE GARAGE. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER I WENT TO A FRIENDS HOME IN THE COUNTRY SIDE AND NOTICED AN INTENSE SMELL OF FUEL IN MY CAR. I THOUGHT SOMEHOW MAYBE MY HUSBAND TRANSPORTED GAS IN A CONTAINER IT THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR, BUT HE HAD NOT. I HAD TO CALL ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE BECAUSE ON THE RETURN TRIP NOT ONLY WAS THE GAS SMELL MORE INTENSE, BUT I HAD A FLAT TIRE. IMMEDIATELY ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE CAME CHANGED THE TIRE AND TOOK US HOME AND DROVE THE CAR TO THE MB DEALERSHIP. I PAID FOR A NEW TANK TO BE INSTALLED AND THEY PAID TO REMOVE THE PADDING AND LINER AND REPLACE IT FROM THE SEAT BEHIND THE TANK. FROM 2010 TO 2014 THREE MORE EVENTS OF FUEL SMELL IN AND OUT OF THE CAR AFTER FILLING THE TANK HAVE SINCE OCCURRED AND REQUIRED REPAIR. ONCE IT WAS SAID TO BE THE LINES OR INJECTION SYSTEM. AFTER THE LINES WERE REPAIRED THOUGH THE SMELL REMAINED AND THIS WAS SOLVED BY PLACING A NEW TANK AGAIN IN OCTOBER 2012. THE LATEST LEAK OCCURRED JUST AS THE FIRST, AND ON NOVEMBER 7, 2014 A NEW TANK HAS NOT BEEN PLACED YET. THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR IS INTOLERABLY CAUSTIC WITH GAS FUMES. I AM OUT OF WARRANTY AND AM DRIVING AN EXPLOSIVE TIME BOMB FILLED WITH CARCINOGENIC PETROLEUM. THESE CARS NEED A RECALL. I SEE I AM NOT THE ONLY TO SUBMIT A COMPLAINT FOR THIS DANGEROUS HAZARD. THE TANK FUEL LEAK FOR THE S CLASS AND E CLASS SPANNING 2003-2008 IS DISCUSSED ON MERCEDES BENZ FORUMS, AS WELL. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 20000 miles.
