After I filled up my gas tank and came home and parked my car in the garage. After a few hours I smell strong gas smell. When I researched mbworld, I saw many people having the same / similar issue, and mercedes benz had extended the warranty to 15 years towards fuel leak issues. There were many articles on the forum. When I called my dealer, he said that I there are no recalls on it. How do I resolve this issue?
When I fill the gas tank to the top, I smell fuel in the cabin, I think there was a recall for that, but dealership says no, there is a video on this issue on youtube as well, I got this recall number from a friend the federal safety agency#13003, could you please check and help me out.
When I fill up the gas tank I notice a gas smell from outside of the car on the rear drivers side. When the fuel level drops to 3/4 full the smell disappears. I'm afraid of an explosion if I park in an enclosed garage
I recently bought an 07 mercedes e350 I've found this same complaint on numerous websites the whole cab of the car fills with a terrible fuel smell only on the inside of the cabin but its so bad id hesitate lighting a lighter in the car until the windows have been rolled down and aired out its supposedly under the very spot my 5 year old granddaughter would be seated this is not only highly dangerous and flammable but will give the driver and occupants terrible headaches, nausea at times and in my opinion is a not only fire hazard but also a health hazard and it does this sitting stationary without the car running I've tried everything not filling the car to the top but even at a half tank you have the same problem its so bad I would return the car if the dealer would take it back this is extremely unhealthy
My car was running suddenly stop and does not start, I take it to mercedes dealer and they charge me $195.00 plus tax to scanned it they found the ECM engine control module need to be replace. Cost is $2,300 plus tax. Please contact me for at your convenience so I can take further steps towards mercedes benz.
Problem: car leaks fuel to the ground near the rear exhaust part of the car when gas tank filled past 3/4 full of a tank. Car leaks fuel, and smells excessively like gasoline inside, and outside of the car. This could be a potential health risk due to the fumes of the gasoline, and gasoline leaking. The problem could be a safety issue due to gasoline potentially leaking on the exhaust, and igniting. The car also will not pass emissions due to evaporation leak check engine codes. This happens every time a gas fill up more than 3/4 of a tank of fuel. I have pictures of the fuel leak.

There is a strong smell of gasoline due to a defective gas tank seal - this problem is exacerbated when the gas tank is filled or nearly filled, the extreme danger of the gas fumes emitted manifests itself in the probable explosion causing deathly harm to people, owners and innocent bystanders, property, including the car itself. The car is a 2007 mercedes-benz e-350
My vehicle shut off while I was driving on a main street. Two minutes later I could start it. Then next day I could so I took it to a trusted mechanic and was informed about recall. It hasn't started since. The mechanic isn't certain about exactly the problem but said there was some misfires on sensors. Unknown exactly what's wrong. I did get a letter in the mail about a recall offered to me if similar conditions happen.
I can smell gas fumes and my fuel pump failed in my 2007 mercedes e350. While mercedes extended the warranty on the fuel tank / pumps for the e series, non-pzev, I have been advised that my car has pzev emissions and I am not covered. The non-pzev cars received a 15 year extended warranty with unlimited mileage. The pzev cars have mileage capped at 150k. The resolution mercedes provided to the federal safety agency was misleading since they did not provide a resolution for all of the cars with fuel tank / pump issues.

As the co-owner/buyer of a 2007 mercedes-benz e350, I am very displeased with this first car purchase from the dealership in pleasanton. Honestly, the look/make of the car can be very deceiving. In fact, it only took one day to realize the car smelled of gas inside the vehicle. Also, after taking the backseat off, gas was leaking from the fuel pump located under the seat so my dad and I decided to take the vehicle to the dealership in oakland to see if there were any recalls under the car's VIN or if there was anything they could do about it that didn't have to cost us, but sadly no. The thing that makes this situation even more worse was that not once did both dealerships mention anything about the warranty for a fuel tank replacement that this particular model came with and the main complaint in order to have this fuel tank replacement is a smell of gas in the cabin, which I and my dad have mentioned about the smell of gas inside the vehicle to both these dealerships that supposedly they couldn't do nothing about unless we paid them more than half the price we paid for the car just to get it fixed. The saddest part of this situation is that we didn't find out about the warranty until the car died and couldn't crank or start so I had to do some research on google and found out about the extended warranty and took it to the dealership in oakland, but the car was no longer covered under the warranty due to the vehicle being a pvez. We had no idea the car was a pvez until that particular day so the car was definitely not covered under the 15 year/unlimited mile warranty as I had hoped considering the mere fact that the car had to die at over 150,000 miles even though we had known about the problem when the car was at 139,071 miles when we first bought it, but we were just completely clueless about the warranty.
Very strong gas smell especially when the gas tank is full.
Strong smell of gasoline inside and outside of car after refueling! Seems to lessen when the tank is below 3/4 full.

When filling the tank, there is an unusual smell of gas throught the vehicle. Which I attributed to gas being on my hand since I live in a state where most gas station are self service. Last week while driving, my car suddenly shut off while sitting at a traffic light. After vehicle was diagnosed to be a fault fuel pump, I started looking on line and found that this is a persistent problem with vehicle of the same make model and year, but not the vehicle id number. The manufacturer did extend warranty on some vehicles, but not tp all that have the same issues. I do not see how all vehicles could exhibit the same problem, but not received the same coverage. Although my vehicle was designed for the strict emission standard they have in california, I still believe they use the same gas tank on the same model year. To repair my vehicle, it would cost over 3000 dollars due to the fuel tank and fuel pump are one complete unit. While this may seem irrelevant to some, I started envisioning getting hit in the rear or some one smoking in or near my car that could result in a massive fireball of destruction. Please address this situation before someone dies.

2007 mercedes benz e350. Consumer writes seeking reimbursement for fuel tank component repairs. *ld
Every time I fill up my car I get a strong gas smell inside and outside the car. It also leaks gas on the driver side on my driveway at home or where I drive and park for about the first 50 miles. The way I have learned to avoid the gas smell is I only fill the tank up to 3/4.
