29 problems related to other fuel system pump have been reported for the 2007 Mercedes Benz E350. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I can smell gas fumes and my fuel pump failed in my 2007 mercedes E350. While mercedes extended the warranty on the fuel tank / pumps for the e series, non-pzev, I have been advised that my car has pzev emissions and I am not covered. The non-pzev cars received a 15 year extended warranty with unlimited mileage. The pzev cars have mileage capped at 150k. The resolution mercedes provided to the NHTSA was misleading since they did not provide a resolution for all of the cars with fuel tank / pump issues.

As the CO-owner/buyer of a 2007 mercedes-benz E350, I am very displeased with this first car purchase from the dealership in pleasanton. Honestly, the look/make of the car can be very deceiving. In fact, it only took one day to realize the car smelled of gas inside the vehicle. Also, after taking the backseat off, gas was leaking from the fuel pump located under the seat so my dad and I decided to take the vehicle to the dealership in oakland to see if there were any recalls under the car's VIN or if there was anything they could do about it that didn't have to cost us, but sadly no. The thing that makes this situation even more worse was that not once did both dealerships mention anything about the warranty for a fuel tank replacement that this particular model came with and the main complaint in order to have this fuel tank replacement is a smell of gas in the cabin, which I and my dad have mentioned about the smell of gas inside the vehicle to both these dealerships that supposedly they couldn't do nothing about unless we paid them more than half the price we paid for the car just to get it fixed. The saddest part of this situation is that we didn't find out about the warranty until the car died and couldn't crank or start so I had to do some research on google and found out about the extended warranty and took it to the dealership in oakland, but the car was no longer covered under the warranty due to the vehicle being a pvez. We had no idea the car was a pvez until that particular day so the car was definitely not covered under the 15 year/unlimited mile warranty as I had hoped considering the mere fact that the car had to die at over 150,000 miles even though we had known about the problem when the car was at 139,071 miles when we first bought it, but we were just completely clueless about the warranty.

Fuel pump leak.
I began smelling a strong gasoline order after driving and parking the car. The odor was strongest when the car was parked in the garage. You could not drive the car very far without having to open the windows. After about three weeks I took the car to a mercedes repair mechanic who informed me gasoline was leaking from the fuel pump located under the backseat. Due to the type of fuel tank I had (special order crash resistant tank) I could not just replace the fuel pump. I had to replace the fuel pump, fuel sensors, and the fuel tank. Driving the car without a repair was very dangerous. The cost was $3,000. I had no choice but to repair the car. The car had approximately 102,850 miles on it. Mercedes needs to do the right thing and step up and repair the 2007 E350's that experience this. It is either a design flaw or faulty part.

My 2007 E350 mercedes has a fuel leak. The local mercedes dealership (el dorado hills, CA) inspected the car, found the leak to be coming from the left side fuel pump at the fuel tank, acknowledged that it was a common problem, and that mercedes had extended the warranty to cover fuel system repairs. So I left the car to be repaired, but later the dealership calls and says my car is a pzev (partial zero emissions vehicle) car, and therefore not covered by the warranty extension, even though it is the same part that fails on a non-pzev car that is covered. I've had several conversations with mbusa (susan ext. 7815) and the local dealership (service rep. Gayton). They have offered me a 15% discount on the repair. I have already paid them $165. 00 for the inspection. This dangerous defect in the fuel system should be repaired free of charge by mercedes.
Purchased 2007 E350 wagon June 16 2014, upon first refill of fuel tank noticed the smell of gasoline inside automobile. It dissipates over time. On 30 June, purchased second full tank of fuel and noticed same issue and began research. I discovered this has been an endemic issue with the fuel pump and fuel tank. Am researching recalls and taking to trusted mechanic today to get to the root cause. Fuel vapors are highly volatile and I will contact Mercedes Benz to register my complaint. Will keep you updated. The current multi-billion gm recall is a similar issue that corporate leaders ignored for years and now paying a dear price. Will engage mb of na in a deliberate and dogged manner until resolved.
2007 mecedez benz E350 showed symptoms of cranking but not starting intermittently and also noticed fuel odor in the compartment often for weeks. Eventually fuel odor was noted within the interior of the vehicle and the car will not start at all after cranking for few seconds looking like it was not getting fuel at all. When the car was arranged to be sent to the dealership, the tow truck guy removed the rear seat to identify source of fuel smell which had revealed fuel pooling on starting attempt of the engine and the heavy fuel pooling was noted at the fuel pump sending unit. This seemed extremely hazardous for car safety. The fuel was gushing out which spread to the seat and fabric and sent fuel smell and fumes into the passenger compartment. Mercedes quoted $800+ for the repairs and delivered the car promising that the faulty pump and sending unit was replaced. The car did not even make home and broke down before reaching home showing same starting problem . Hence it was towed back to the dealership and this time they are asking another $800+ to replace the second fuel pump which they claimed was working when the car was delivered. Fuel smell still exists in the passenger compartment and the car is not drivable . Dealership did not accept any responsibility for delivering the car without repairing the reported defect and asking double price for a manufacture defect of the car which is a major road safety hazard item and must be considered as a safety recall from mercedes car company.

I got in my car yesterday to drive it and the odor of gasoline was overwhelming. I took it to my mechanic who told me that one of the fuel pumps under my car had a faulty connection and, as a result, fumes were escaping into the car. The entire pump needs to be replaced to the tune of at least $800. He said the only reason he knew what was wrong, without even looking at the car, was because another client had the exact same issue. He agreed that it sounds like a defective part.

Mine is a 90000 mile vehicle showing normal wear, no abuse or no accidents, diagnosed with leaky fuel tank. Just spent $900 on fuel pump, sender and pressure sensor-all of which was to fix strong gas odor. Repairs did not abate the strong gas odor when tank is full. Independent mercedes mechanic then diagnosed as leaky tank and stated that repairs would be about $1500. His parts man said that the part number on the fuel tanks had changed three times-indicating that he thought that mercedes was trying different fixes. Mechanic also said that his shop has diagnosed/fixed several other with same problem. Gas odor is so strong that I believe that a tossed cigarette would ignite my mercedes.
