Three problems related to other fuel system have been reported for the 2007 Mercedes Benz CLK350. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
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.
Tl- the contact owns a 2007 Mercedes Benz 350clk. The contact stated that upon re-fueling the vehicle, there was a strong odor of fuel outside the vehicle and inside the vehicle as the failure progressed with no warning. The vehicle was not inspected and diagnosed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 99,942. Dyd.
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.
