While driving 70 on hwy, check engine light came on, so I immediately stopped and called a tow truck. Mechanic's diagnosis was that the tumble flap was broken in the air intake manifold. The only fix is replacing the entire manifold for $2000 plus labor, tax and gaskets. The flaps are small and could be an inexpensive fix but all dealerships that I called confirmed that the only fix available is to replace the entire air intake manifold. Research tells me that this is a very common problem on this and many other models within the same years.

Filled up my 2007 mercedes E350 on 1/4/14 and came home. I was awakened by a strong odor of gas smell. Went into the garage and was meet with even a stronger odor of gasoline. This is a dangerous situation due to the fact that my water heaters are located in my garage and I don't want to have an explosion due to the vapors. I have noticed multiple complaints on this issue and an investigation is being done. I just hope that no one is injured or killed before something is done to take care of this.

After fueling my car, gasoline smell became intolerably strong. I called the dealer and they told me that the 2007 E350 is known for leaks and I should bring it for a diagnostic check. The manufacturer according to the dealer is aware but no federal action has been mandated. Estimates could range from $1000 to $2000. Bummer.

Every time I fill up my gas my garage smells of strong gas order. No visible gas leak and no smell in the car, just inside the garage.

Based on news reports from earlier this year, I understand that the NHTSA is investigating complaints of fuel leaks that are common with Mercedes Benz e-class models between 2003 - 2009. I am writing to submit a complaint about my wife's 2006 e 350 that was just serviced for a fuel leak. For sometime she noticed a gas smell after refueling. On 10/16/13 when she refueled the fumes in the car were very strong and did not go away so she took the car to the nearby dealership for service the next morning. The dealership identified the problem as a fuel leak. The leak was severe enough that gas had leaked into the cushions of the back seat where our 3 year old toddler typically sits. The dealership identified the problem as a "safety concern". I agreed. I also expressed my concern to the dealership and mbusa about the gas that leaked into the seat cushion and that the leak seems to be a common problem with their e-class models. Although we have paid for the completed repair, I requested that the repair be covered by mbusa. Because no recall exists, mbusa does not acknowledge the leak as a defect and is currently reviewing my request for an out-of-warranty repair coverage, including the replacement of the rear seat cushion. My wife, oldest son and I have previously been diagnosed with asthma. I am concerned that the fumes that continue to linger will threaten asthma-related complications. I am happy to provide additional information upon request.

Bought a used 2007 Mercedes Benz E350 Mar 14, 2011 drove less than 80 miles before check engine light came on because of code p0456. I have taken vehicle back to the dealership only to find that the fuel sending unit is leaking under rear seat/trunk area and that the vehicle needs front brake pads replaced. These issue was a preexisting problem that I was not told about even though dealer documents say otherwise. There is evidence of that on the emissions report. The check engine light had to have been reset to sell the vehicle with known problems to an unsuspecting buyer. The vehicle was suppose to have been serviced at the end of Jan 2011 per document with only minimal miles accrued as the car sat on the lot. I first notified dealership April 5, 2011 it took until the 12th for them to finally tell me to bring it in to verify problem. The vehicle has been in the service department since April 12 2011 and I can not get anyone to call me back as to the status. The service manager apologized for the situation but said his hand are tied until someone approves the repairs. Today is April 15, 2011 I still have not been contacted by dealership.

On gas filled up, the entire garage smell of strong gasoline smell that can cause nausea and dizziness if garage door is not opened to allow fresh air, mechanics said there is a leak in the fuel system and similar car owners have the same issue. Smell will go away when the fuel level is below 7/8 level. I started having this problem at around 40,000 miles and currently around 48,000, I hardly use the vehicle due to the smell and safety concern. Mercedes should recall this defects for epa, safety and health concerns before any incidence and resulting class action lawsuit.
