Other Fuel System Pump problems of the 2006 Mercedes Benz CLS500

Fuel pump leaks and vapor smell is very prevalent. Fuel tank assembly has been ordered, but apparently mercedes is very slow on shipping the parts because there are so many cars with this same problem. Besides the smell, I think this could be dangerous. I have always been told that where there are fumes an explosion is possible. I have been told that parts have to come from germany since no one in the states has them. Mercedes should be ashamed and held to a higher standard.

Tl-the contact owns a 2006 Mercedes Benz cls 500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 45 mph, he could smell a strong fuel odor emitting from inside the vehicle.

Through some checking, gasoline seems to be running out of the top of the gas tank when it is full. It is not coming from the fuel pump module seal. This is both dangerous and a pollution and health risk. I just bought the car, so I don't know how long the problem has existed. He told me that is the problem with the fuel sending unit is leaking underneath of the seats. He also told me that he just fixed two cars with the same problem. There is also a recall campaign number (2008-020001) out here stating the same issue, but mb at arlington told me that it will cost me to get it fix between $400 to $730 and my car is not cover under this recall. He pulled up the VIN of my car and told me sorry that your car doesn't have any records for recall. So, I took my car back and asked him to provided me the cost estimate, I called the extended warranty and it is not cover under my basic plans. So, I drove the car home, smelling like the I have being showered by the smell of leaking fuel. I also, gave a call to mbusa and file my complain, and someone checked my VIN and told me that my car doesn't cover under the recall, but she will put the file together and will bring it up to the upper manager to review the case and told me that someone will give me a call back on Monday since they are closing on the weekend. The warranty doesn't cover the sending units. By now I have all my research handy (and have already priced out the replacement of both units - $2,000) and said "well there's been a recall for this exact issue on this exact car, it's a major safety concern that's why I want to share my problem with other people on the matter. " I provided the recall campaign number (2008-020001) and advise her please let them know of the pledged to look into it. Wish me luck :(.

Just like the other mercedes vehicles, the fuel pumps are under the back seat. My daughter rides in the back. One morning I wake up and my car smelled as if someone poored gasoline all throughout the automobile. I let the windows down and took my car to american auto tech where I spent over 700. 00. It took over 2months to get the smell out of the car and I had to replace the cover and lining that seperates the back seat cushion portion from the entrance of the fuel pumps that sit under both back seats of this car. This is not only an issue with the e class but most mercedes made through out that year. I have a receipt in which I have paid and feel that mercedes need to compensate me and others for this defective part or fuel leakage. It even leaks from under the car. This is very dangerous to my family and others around.

I filled my gas tank and drove home, parked in the garage overnight. The next morning I entered the garage and was overwhelmed by the smell of raw gas. The garage was closed and it contains a hot water heater which could have easily lit the gas fumes and started a fire or explosion. My 2 kids' bedrooms are above the garage. Through some checking, gasoline seems to be running out of the top of the gas tank when it is full. It is not coming from the fuel pump module seal. This is both dangerous and a pollution and health risk. I just bought the car, so I don't know how long the problem has existed.
