One problem related to fuel pump has been reported for the 2007 Mercedes Benz C280. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Noticed strong fuel smell. Fuel tank behind driver side had crack-had it replaced. 4th of July weekend noticed I could not fill up tank beyond 1/2 tank took it back into service defect was located in passenger side tank. On 7/15 car stalled on freeway---showed 1/2 tank of gas-assumed it was the battery. Took it into service again and it was the float in the tank that needed to be checked---problem solved-----so far. Was told by dealer my year/model did not qualify for recall. Recalls are determined by factory where it was built and excessive complaints for said problem from that factory. If the same fuel pump was found to be defective for other model years why wait for consumer to complain and pay out of pocket for repair. . Mercedes should recall pumps gratis ----sounds like good customer service to me.
