1 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 02/04/2020

When I fill my car up I can smell gas in my garage. Once I drive it for a while and it gets below a half tank or so I don't smell the gas anymore. I am worried that the gas smell in the garage made some fumes into my house and this is a safety issue. I see some models of mercedes have been recalled for this reason. I would like mercedes to recall and repair this at no charge to me. Apparently mercedes covers model year 2003 to 2009 on the e class in 2006 to 2011 on the cls class. I am having the exact same issue.

2 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2020

Bought the vehicle at 42k miles 3 years and it smells fuel inside the vehicle and the garage for a couple of days on each tank fill up. It smells so bad I have leave the garage door open sometimes so that my house does not catch fire along the vehicle. Searched online a lot of owners of the same vehicle have the same complaint.

3 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2019

When I fill the gas tank, there is a very steong smell of fuel inside and outside of the car. The smell IA there util at least half the tank is used. The same problem has been with "e" series. Mb issued a recall. However, the dealership tells me there is no recall for 2007 Clk350 eventhough same parts are used to deliver the fuel.

4 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Strong odor of gasoline, mainly after refueling and then continuing when driving and when stationary. Mechanic assessed that fuel is leaking from the upper part of the gas tank and the fuel components.

5 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 06/12/2013

Driving down the road at a slow speed and the car just quits. Sometimes it will start itself back up and sometimes I have to pull off to the side of the road to turn ignition off and then on again. The car will just quit at highway speeds and after some quick thinking and realizing what just happened the only thing to do is drift to the berm of the road with no pwr steering or brakes. There are also times when I start the car it will quit and takes two to three more tries. Also had a severe raw gas coming from the car after a fill up. The gas fumes were so severe that we had to park the car outside for fear of an explosion in our garage. I took the car to the mb dealer in pittsburgh and they were able to repair the gas problem as the gaskets around the gas tank were dry-rotted and I paid approx $600. 00 for this repair which I feel that mb should have covered since at 66000 miles this should not happoen. As usual they could not duplicate the stalling issue. Mb know of this problem but will not do anything since it doesn't show up on there computer hook-ups. Something needs to be done before people get killed. I'm sure I'm not the only one this happens too.
