Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problems of the 2007 Mercedes Benz CLS550

Note that the vehicle on has 43,733 miles - cabin interior strong live fuel fumes - constant gas fumes on the inside of the car cabin. Note that the car was stationary at my residence parking. I did not know where were the fumes coming from at the time. Got a headache just for the moment I was trying to determined where were the fumes coming from. This is currently for all drivers and owners a very hazardous dangerous condition to all extremes, very high risk from ignition from static or electrical, due to wire hardness in the area. Vehicle was towed and took it to Mercedes Benz dealer and found the following: leakage in fuel system. Replaced fuel tank fuel tank drain/fill observed accident prevention regulation "12 wl08" fuel tank and fuel for storagebring observe accident prevention regulation "12 wl08" performed by mercedes-benz of new orleans. Fuel tank leaking in the interior was found / was drained & refilled and fuel tank replaced. This was cover under a new settlement with Mercedes Benz and NHTSA. I think that this should have been a recall when it relates to safety factors.

The contact owns a 2007 mercedes-benz Cls550. When the contact entered the vehicle, a fuel odor was noticed without warning. The failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the fuel tank was cracked and leaked fuel. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there was no recall. The manufacturer stated that the vehicle would be repaired for free if the contact took the vehicle to a mercedes dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000. The VIN was not provided.

Hi I have 2007 mercedes Cls550 79000 miles. I had the car for past 2 years are week ago after refiling the gas tank are strong gas smell appear inside the car and out side also. I was worry for my safety and I start reading about the same problems and current campaign and recall for mercedes e class w211 2003 to 2009 so I remove my rear passenger seat to locate the pump and the sending unit there was big puddle of raw gasoline inside the cabin around 200-300ml there was so much there the wires for the pump and sensors was under the fuel. I called the dealer they refuse to do recall for my car my car use the same gas tank and same pump and sending unit like e class from 2003 to 2008. . So if one part is defective(the gas tank) will be still defective if mercedes put in different model car. My car is not safe any more im scary to drive it any more .

Every time I fill up my tank with gasoline, once I park in the garage, the garage is filled with strong gas fumes from my car. I checked for leaks under the car and found nothing. I have to raise the garage door to let the fumes out, due to getting lightheaded from the fumes. The fumes remain with the car for 7-10 days. This has been going on for the past four years. This problem is a danger to my family's health!!!! surely, there is a recall on this problem! 2nd issue: I turned my car off and the fan kept running. I noticed that the fan was so loud that it sounded like it was about to blow up. Black smoke came from under the hood. I went on into the building to my meeting for an hour. When I came back outside, the fan was still going and still loud. This had never happened in the five years that I had the car. The car would not start. I had to call someone to boost it off to start. I then went to the shop to check to see if I had battery or starter problems. No problems found in either. This has happened twice since then. I am afraid that the car will catch fire with me in it or my family or friends. 3rd issue I was driving along and the dashboard read out in red to stop the car . . Vehicle is too low. . . When stopped, I noticed that the passenger side of the car was low and the driver side is raised high. I have to sit there for a few minutes until the red lights went out. This happens often. 4th tire pressure light stays on. I took it to check on pressure, it was ok. I did not need new tires either. The yellow light stays on and this week the red light popped on and will not go off. 5th the check engine light stays on and mechanic can not find the problem. 6th steering system loud popping noise when I back up or turn steering wheel. It used to be random but now it is every time I drive the car.

When ii fill my gas tank I smell gas fumes in and around the vehicle. The smell is coming from the rear passenger seat on the drivers side. I had the vehicle checked by a mercedes mechanic who is a friend of mine and he said it is the fuel sending unit. He pulled out my seat and their was a puddle of gas on top of the unit. When I fill my tank to under 3/4 there is no smell. I have researched this issue and apparently there is an on going investigation by NHTSA regarding the e series mercedes which has this problem. The cls 550 is on the same platform as the e series. I have called the dealer and am playing phone tag with the service department. Please include the 2007 cls 550 in your investigation.

Filled the gas tank. I drove 2 miles to my house, and parked the car in the garage. Fuel started leaking from the fuel tank directly behind the left rear wheel. The fuel fumes filled my house.
