general problems of the 2006 Mercedes Benz C350

At 9,000 miles my 2006 mercedes C350 had to have a fuel pump replaced. It was out of warranty (low miles usage for 5 year old car) so I had to pay $900 for the repair. I could smell fuel everytime I filled the tank and the mercedes dealer said the pump had to be replaced. I read about a recall of e350 models being recalled for the same reason with the same engine. I asked the dealer about this and they said mine was not part of the recall because it is a c class mercedes. It has the same engine with the same problem and I think this should be looked into.

Fuel flex line from firewall to fuel rail is leaking at both connections, ie. Both ends at the swaged fitting.

Tl- the contact owns a 2006 Mercedes Benz e350. The contact stated that he had a fuel leak in his vehicle. The gas from the fuel sending unit had been leaking and that the pool of gas sat underneath the contact's back seat. The sitting fuel then leaked into the vehicle's rear seats. The contact also stated that he can smell a gas aroma throughout the vehicle, also, a dried gas film sat on top of the vehicle's access panel. No warning lights illuminate due to this vehicle failure. The contact had the vehicle towed to a dealer(mercedes-benz of west covina 2010 e garvey Ave s, west covina, CA 91791 626-859-1200) where he informed them that he had discovered an article from NHTSA that stated mercedes would offer an extended warranty(p-bq-fuel-3wa) to their consumers for this defect that the contact had experienced. Mercedes benz had refused to cover the vehicle because the specific defect part had not been covered under the warranty. The contact was given a quote for the repair of the defective part. The manufacturer had been notified of the failure and agreed with the contact that the dealer should cover the vehicle under the warranty; however, he had also been informed that his local dealer had refused to honor the warranty and they had the right to refuse the repair. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 147,647. Jo.

I have a very loud odor of gasoline coming from near my back wheel on the drivers side. The car rides fine and I get good gas mileage but it is not leaking anywhere. I took my backseat out and there was nothing wet. I also replaced the gas cap and it did not help.
