Fuel smell inside of cabin.

See all problems of the 2006 Mercedes Benz CLS55 🔎.

Extreme gas smell inside car when I got into car this morning. .

Car smells of gasoline inside and on engine bay, mercedes forums specify a recall has been issued to fix problem.

The vehicle was sended to inspection due to a "brake warning" started showing at the gauges control panel. Mercedes benz dealer service manager indicates that they not have a correct tool to recode to actualize the brake system and /or fix the problem at that time. Three visits and several phone calls been made to the dealer. The service advisor is always with other customer. I'm stop to drive my vehicle, because I never knew how deep is the problem. Doing a visual inspection I observed that the rear brake pads are not applying good enough, the surfaces of the rotors are different. The Mercedes Benz dealer representative still not notify me. This is a safety issue. This vehicle is not making any noise or have any vibration during braking. But I notice that is braking more at front than the rear. *brake fluid is been changed by the dealer. Service advisor stated that this car have an "extended recall" for brake mal-function/on different areas, but nothing is been done to fix the codes: hydraulic faults/c25d0/c2514/c249f/c22b5 & c223c. This may be the abs control box fault. After been waiting from 07:30 - 13:00 (5. 5 hrs) on my last visit. I received my car back just with few words front the advisor; " we need to order a part to re-coded your system, we contact you later (21 Aug 2015). Note: recall # 05v133000 did you can assist me with this problem/ situation? thanks in advance. V/ respectfully, mr. W. Ortiz.

Recall campaign number 2008-020001. This is a known defect that mercedes refuses to repair. Very dangerous fuel leak. Fuel puddling inside cabin under rear seat. Fire hazard and health hazard.

The contact owns a 2006 Mercedes Benz Cls55. The contact stated that fuel fumes were emitting from the rear of the vehicle and the check engine light illuminated. After inspecting the vehicle, the contact discovered a puddle of fuel under the back seat. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The failure mileage was 117,000.

After purchasing a used mb Cls55 amg I noticed I kept smelling fuel inside the cabin of my vehicle after filling up with fuel. Did not put any mind to it till after the third fill up. And I did a research online and noticed its a common problem I then called the 800# and asked if the recall campaign #2008-020001 was ever performed on my vehicle and they said it was done in 2008 by the previous owner. I told him that the problem seems to be happening again and the customer service rep told me they only perform the recall once and it is up to the owner to pay for the problem the second time. So I guess im stuck with a big bill for something that was never repaired properly from the first time. Thats what led me to this site hopefully somebody will read this and do something about a bandaid that was placed on the car (basically replaced part with the same part but newer that was defective from day1).

Every time I fill up the car with gasoline, there is a very strong odor of fuel both inside and outside the cabin. This odor will last for a few days until the gas evaporate. I have check with the mb service dealer, they told me that a service campaign #2008020001 for the fuel filter module had been done on my car in may 2008 by mb. It looks that the same problem occuring again. I have purchase this car in November 2013 and always had this problem since.

Leaks gas from fuel sending unit. Like the rest of these cars do, or will.

Fuel sender unit was recalled in 2008, only months before we purchased the vehicle as the 2nd owner. This was purchased as a certified pre owned vehicle. We have obtained a vehicle master inquiry from Mercedes Benz and there is nothing that makes it very clear that the original recall was ever handled properly. In 2013, we experienced s strong odor of fuel when the car was filled with gasoline. The car seemed to lag at takeoff, out of turns, and idled roughly. When the vehicle was brought in for service, we were told nothing of the recall, and were charged $1,015. 00 to replace the part (which was the exact part # of the faulty unit). Over the last few months, we noticed the smell again once in a while. The vehicle displayed the same signs as the previous time. At this point, the fuel smell is so strong, the vehicle is almost undriveable. When in the garage, you can smell the fuel through the wall into the closet (the closest room beyond the garage). We are in firm belief that we should be reimbursed by Mercedes Benz for charging us for repairs that should have been repaired under the recall notice, which our VIN is included under, and we should now receive the repairs free of charge due to the recurring nature, original recall, handling of the situation, and ongoing investigation. This is no coincidence, and mb is attempting to sweep the situation under the rug. They are failing to stand behind their claims of "german engineering," excellent customer service, etc. Etc. This is not what you expect from a vehicle with a $94,000. 00 base price.
