2006 Mercedes Benz model E350. Strong fuel odor emanating from rear area (trunk) of vehicle on the outside. Car would not start and towed by aaa to Mercedes Benz dealership/car repair. Aaa tow driver stated that the odor of gasoline was so strong he was tempted in calling the fire department. Mercedes benz service representative informed us at first that car was full of water. Originally the mechanic claimed he found a pool of water inside the car's trunk. The service representative informed the technician of our complaint of a strong odor of fuel coming from both inside and outside the vehicle. It was at this time the technician stated that he found a heavy pool of fuel in the trunk area of the vehicle. They were unable to identify the source of the fuel leak. They changed the gasoline tank and fuel pump but were uncertain of the actual cause of the leak. The vehicle remained at the dealership for one week. Mercedes benz service manager refused to acknowledge the fuel leak was caused by a factory defect and not by wear and tear of the parts and we were charged for all the repairs. We are aware that similar incidents have been reported for the same Mercedes Benz model in other states. We feel this needs to be addressed urgently before someone either gets hurt or loses their life. ## VIN passed ## Mercedes Benz E350 2006 ##.

5 Car Will Not Start problem of the 2007 Mercedes Benz E350

Failure Date: 05/21/2012

I was driving home from work on a freeway traveling at about 65mph. All of sudden, my car starting to slow and decelerated which I pulled my ehicle over to the emergency lane where it stalled. The car wouldn't start after that and I can smell the burning from the under the hood. I got it towed to a mercedes specialist shop. The shop reported that there was a fire inside the air intake manifold that caused damage to other components as well which was very unusual. This manifold component was all burned and melted inside including other surrounding components. I consulted with the mercedes dealership which they stated this never happen to any mercedes models so I think this is a defect and a safety hazard. This is only a 5 year old certified pre-owned purchase made from the dealer 3 years ago when vehicle had only 38,000 miles on it. Unfortunately, my warrantly just expired 5 months ago. At this point, the damage so far exceeded $4,000 to repair and the dealership won't do offer any goodwill repair on it. Luckily for me I was not injure from this incident but it may not be so lucky if it happen to someone else.

7 Car Will Not Start problem of the 2006 Mercedes Benz E350

Failure Date: 01/14/2007

Car will not start. The car is 8 months old and there is an electrical problem of sorts that will cause the radio to die, navigation system to die, phone on master panel to die and then power steering will be lost. Within 12 hours of this happening the car will not start and the electronic key will not open the door as the entire car is dead. The mercedes dealership has checked out the car and replaced the entire master panel, and the instances still occur. They have performed many diagnostic tests over a 7 day period, and they still can not determine what the cause. The uncertainty and unreliability of the car makes it unnerving for a female traveling sales person. You just never know when you will get stuck.
