Smell gas from my car. Gas leak. Smell gas when the car is parked or driven.
Strong order of gasoline after refueling around the rear of car and inside of vehicle. There is a safety recall for same problem on 2009 mercedes benz e350 (reference tsb no. P47-10-63) but not on 2010 year model? Why?
Fuel smell is strong while standing behind and the left side of the vehicle. The same smell exists whether the tank is empty or full.
Strong gasoline smell emits from the car after filling up with gas.
Gas leak smell coming from driver side rear of the car. Car only has 40,000 miles. I believe my car has the same problem as with other mercedes class action lawsuit "2003-09 mercedes-benz e-class, 2006-11 cls-class fuel odor". Please reopen the investigation to include e350 2010 model as well.
The vehicle emit a fuel odor from the rear. This is due to fuel leaks coming from the gas tank assembly. Mercedes benz had these issue from 2003 to 2009 e class. My car make is 2010- e350 having the above problem besides takata air bag. What are my options? The dealer doesn't care of the issue. Will benz resolve the issue ?
My car is emitting a strong gasoline odor near the rear of the car and this whether the car is stationary or in motion.
Request the federal safety agency immediately re-open the investigation of mercedes-benz' deliberate & continued use of defective fuel system components. The warranty extension offered by mb for 2003-2009 e-class sedans on fuel tank components, including fuel tank, fuel filter/sender, fuel pump & related gaskets/seals/retention rings, is not sufficient. Please require mb to extend the warranty to later model yrs & all e-class vehicles such as 2-dr coupe, not just the sedan. My vehicle has only 48,000 miles (driven <7,000 mi/yr) & fuel sending unit closing cover is now leaking. Gas fumes/leakage is so overwhelming that car cannot be driven or parked in a garage. Driver is in eminent danger of car bursting into flames if a spark or match is lit nearby. Plus owner risks damage/theft/bodily harm now being required to park on street rather than a secured garage. I've owned 8 other vehicles in my lifetime incl. Fiat, oldsmobile, ford, toyota & lexus. Never has any other vehicle had this problem. Plus several were 2x+ the age of this car & had 2-3x greater mileage. This fuel system problem is not caused by normal wear-&-tear or any fault of an owner. Repairs must be mandated by the federal safety agency to be covered by mb due to fact that they have continued to use defective design & defective components, even knowing for years prior to manufacturing 2010+ models, this issue exists. The mb dealer wants to charge $1133.89 plus tax for the initial "closing cover" repair & will not guarantee that will even fix the problem. It may cost thousands more to have the entire fuel tank replaced if necessary. I implore you to seek justice for consumers like myself, harmed by mb's defective fuel tanks that allow fumes to seep into the cabin & broad area surrounding the exterior of vehicle, plus liquid fuel to leak on the ground. Please relpy with specific action I can take to rectify this deplorable situation.
The engine ceased to have power and stopped on the freeway in commute traffic. The gas tank had more than half a tank of fuel. The fuel tank in this model is under the rear seat. Because the drive shaft and differential are in this area the gas tank is in two sections but connected. There is a pump in one section which transfers fuel to the other section when that section gets low. The pump failed and stopped transferring fuel. The mechanic had never seen this problem. A new fuel pump was ordered from mercedes in los angeles as the car was too new to have the part locally.
