The contact owns a 2007 Mercedes Benz clk550. The contact stated that while parked, a fuel odor emitted from the interior and exterior of the vehicle. The contact inspected the vehicle and noticed that there was fuel leaking from the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel sending unit needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure and current mileage was 15,889.
After filling up the gas tank and parking it in the garage it gives off a terrible gas odor which gets more and more strong the longer the car is in the garage. Once the cars fuel tank empties somewhat it seems to not emit the gas odors as much . Shame on mercedes USA for not doing a recall on this hazard. For a company that prides itself on safety. . I have read hundreds on the exact same complaints all over the web.
