A gasoline smells fills the cabin and the outside surrounding area the vehicle continually to the point making anyone surrounding the vehicle and or sitting in the front and back seats physically sick.

With less than 40,000 miles on the odometer, I noticed a gas smell both inside the car and outside. I was able to access the fuel filter assembly on the top of the gas tank and found it had a substantial leak resulting in a puddle of fuel on the assembly. The car has never been in a wreck on had any damage that would cause this problem. I researched and found earlier years of the same model had this problem resulting in Mercedes Benz extending the warranty to 150,000 miles for this part. They have refused to warranty my car. This is a major safety issue and by releasing gas fumes into the atmosphere is an environmental problem as well.

There is a strong odor of gasoline inside the passenger compartment and around the outside of the vehicle when the gas tank is filled. A previous maintenance code of 0456 was triggered.

There is currently no recall for this specific VIN model but Mercedes Benz have issued the recall for other models with the same issue.

Purchased vehicle may 22, 2023 at direct auto sales of orlando, florida.

I just recently discovered that after filling my car with gas, there is a strong odor of gas filled in the garage for over 24hours. When I googled the issue, I discovered that NHTSA did confirm issues with mercedes E350 from 2003-2009. However, I have also discovered that several owners outside of that model year period are having the exact issue. I ask you please reconsider and open the recall so that mercedes can pay to fix my car before a fatality occurs. Thank you barbara.

I noticed about to 6 months or less that my car would shut off or stall after starting ignition and also hearing water sloshing behind the dashboard and the radio does not work and the rear camera goes on/off which is safety hazard, and the engine symbol remain lighted up even after checking all components. Also, on a few occasion my floorboard in the passenger back seat would be soak and wet. I took the car to my mechanic, and he inform that the drain valve was not working properly. After doing some research on the internet I found that this particular incident was happening in several of mercedes years 2009-2011 e50, that it was a recall on the water drain system. Also, on 01/17/23 my sunroof was working without any problems, I attempted to close it and it stop midday and I hear the motor working, but the sunroof did not move, I did more research and found a recall on the bonding glue for sunroof and the glass was detached without warning. Even though my vehicle is not on the recall list, my car is having the same exacts problems and issues and reported by NHTSA. I would appreciate as response or advice to solve these problems, right now my car is a safety hazard to myself and other drivers. Thank you for cooperation in this matter in advance.

While filling the gas tank, gas continued to pour from the pump, even though the tank was full. Usually the pump automatically stops dispensing gas when the tank is full. Gas splashed all over my car and myself. Also, my car often smells like gas after filling up the tank. It seems dangerous to have gas fumes inside of my car. I feel like a rolling bomb driving after a fill up. What’s going on?.

My vehicle developed a raw fuel smell inside and outside the vehicle. Also the check engine light came on. The problem was resolved by the dealer after some time under pzev warranty. What I am concerned with is why was this not a recall as the vehicle fuel vapors could of caused a fire in our garage or while we were operating it. Please note there was raw gas on the outside of the fuel tank.

Strong smell of fuel after refueling the vehicle, inside and outside the vehicle. Appears to be similar to issues related to the 2003-2009 model years previously investigated by NHTSA and closed in December 2014.

Purchased a 2011 mercedes E350 in 2019, in March 2020 I found out the fuel filter flange is cracked. Furthermore, leaking fuel slowly causing me to be afraid to drive my car because it can catch on fire. Therefore, a recall was issued for this problem in 2012, but now no mercedes dealership is honoring this situation in my area.

Adblue heater/senor for the emission control on the 2011 mercedes-benz E350 bluetec fail after 80,000 miles the problem with the system is that it starts a count down which is displayed on the dash to how many starts are left before the car completely shuts down and will not start because of a heater/senor. So here I am held captive by the number of starts I have left to get the car to a dealership to correct the problem. My problem with this is a $50,000. 00 plus car shouldn't be shutting down for a emission control system.
