This Problem Across All Years
WHEN I FILL THE GAS TANK, THERE IS A VERY STEONG SMELL OF FUEL INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. THE SMELL IA THERE UTIL AT LEAST HALF THE TANK IS USED. THE SAME PROBLEM HAS BEEN WITH "E" SERIES. MB ISSUED A RECALL. HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THERE IS NO RECALL FOR 2007 CLK350 EVENTHOUGH SAME PARTS ARE USED TO DELIVER THE FUEL.

WHEN I FILL MY CAR UP I CAN SMELL GAS IN MY GARAGE. ONCE I DRIVE IT FOR A WHILE AND IT GETS BELOW A HALF TANK OR SO I DON'T SMELL THE GAS ANYMORE. I AM WORRIED THAT THE GAS SMELL IN THE GARAGE MADE SOME FUMES INTO MY HOUSE AND THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I SEE SOME MODELS OF MERCEDES HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS REASON. I WOULD LIKE MERCEDES TO RECALL AND REPAIR THIS AT NO CHARGE TO ME. APPARENTLY MERCEDES COVERS MODEL YEAR 2003 TO 2009 ON THE E CLASS IN 2006 TO 2011 ON THE CLS CLASS. I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. *BF *TR *TR

BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AT 42K MILES 3 YEARS AND IT SMELLS FUEL INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND THE GARAGE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS ON EACH TANK FILL UP. IT SMELLS SO BAD I HAVE LEAVE THE GARAGE DOOR OPEN SOMETIMES SO THAT MY HOUSE DOES NOT CATCH FIRE ALONG THE VEHICLE. SEARCHED ONLINE A LOT OF OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT.

STRONG SMELL OF FUEL FROM REAR LEFT SIDE OF VEHICLE AFTER FILL UP. FUEL PUDDLE FOUND UNDER REAR PASSENGER SEAT UNDER FUEL TANK ACCESS PANEL. LEFT SIDE FUEL PUMP (FUEL FILTER/SENDER) FOUND CRACKED AND LEAKING AT THE NIPPLE TO THE OUTGOING GAS LINE. THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE FOR 10 YEAR OLD E AND C CLASS MERCEDES AND IS PART OF A MERCEDES EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM TO CORRECT THIS EXACT PROBLEM. HOWEVER, MERCEDES TELLS ME THAT MY CLK IS NOT PART OF THE WARRANTY EXTENSION.

VERY STRONG GASOLINE SMELL COMING FROM UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE REAR SEAT ESPECIALLY AFTER FILLING GAS TANK. MERCEDES AGREED TO WARRANTY THIS ISSUE FOR 15 YEARS ON THE E-CLASS AND CLS-CLASS. WHY DIDN'T MERCEDES AND NHTSA INCLUDE THIS MODEL (CLK) THAT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME COMPONENTS?

FUEL IS LEAKING FROM BOTH SENDER UNITS WHEN TANK IS MORE THAN 3/4 FULL. EXTREME FUMES WHEN CAR IS PARKED IN CLOSED GARAGE WITH A FULL TANK. SMELLS LIKE A LARGE QUANTITY OF FUEL IS LEAKING. PAID FOR THE SAME REPAIR 20K MILES AGO, NOW SAME PROBLEM HAS RETURNED. MB DEALER WILL NOT COVER UNDER WARRANTY, COST FOR REPAIR IS $1800 (PLUS ORIGINAL REPAIR). THE SYMPTOMS ARE IDENTICAL TO INVESTIGATION EA 13-003. ARE SIMILAR PARTS INVOLVED? GIVEN THE VAST NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS HERE AND ONLINE FORUMS, AN INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE DONE. THERE IS NO WAY THIS AMOUNT OF FUEL LEAKING IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS LITERALLY A "TICKING TIME BOMB".

THERE IS A STRONG GAS SMELL COMING FROM THE VEHICLE ESPECIALLY AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK. IT WAS INSPECTED AT FLETCHER JONES MERCEDES BENZ DEALER AND THE LEAK WAS FOUND AT THE FUEL TANK FILTER, LEVEL SENSOR, AND 2 SEAL RINGS. DUE TO THE COST, I DID NOT HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AT THE DEALER BUT AT A LOCAL SHOP SPECIALIZING IN MB. COST FOR THE REPAIR WAS $836.70. I AM REPORTING THIS LATE FOR PURPOSES OF SAFETY AND TRENDING.

A VERY STONG GASOLINE SMELL IN THE GARAGE AFTER HAVING CAR FILLED. THE STRONG SMELL HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SOMETIME BUT DIDN'T THINK TOO MUCH ABOUT IT. LAST WEEK A PLUMBER CAME TO MY HOUSE FOR A LEAKY PIPE SITUATION AND NOTICED THE SMELL AND SAID THAT WAS NOT NORMAL AND COU LD PRESENT A FIRE HAZARD! I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR TO GREENWAY MERCEDES LATE ON TUESDAY, 9-29-15. I SAID I WON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS BECAUSE IT MUST BE A DEFECT. THEY SAID INDEED I WOULD HAVE TO PAY. THE DIAGNOSTIC SHOWED THAT IT WAS THE SEALS IN THE FUEL SENDING UNIT, AND I PAID $1400 TO BE REPAIRED. I TOLD THEM I WAS GOING TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH YOU BECAUSE I HAD RESEARCHED AND FOUND OTHER COMPLAINTS FILED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WITH YOU.

THERE IS A VERY STRONG GAS SMELL. IT IS OVERWHELMING, LASTS FOR DAYS, AND WE NEED TO PARK THE CAR OUTSIDE OF THE GARAGE, AS THE SMELL IS SO INTENSE IT MAKES YOU FEEL SICK. IT JUST STARTED HAPPENING ABOUT A WEEK OR TWO AGO, AND SEEMS TO BE MOST OBVIOUS AFTER GETTING FUEL. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH A LOT OF MB OWNERS HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES. ALSO, THERE SEEMS TO BE A RECENT CLASS ACTION SUIT INITIATED BY THE NHTSA INVOLVING THIS PROBLEM. I'M CONCERNED THIS COULD BE A LIFE THREATENING SAFETY PROBLEM IF AN EXPLOSION OCCURS AND THE INTENSE FUMES SEEM LIKELY TO CAUSE OTHER HEALTH RELATED PROBLEMS. *TR
