We purchased this vehicle in may of 2012. We had to have the canister replaced in the vehicle ($1000), and after that repair, we were told that the fuel vapor valve needed to be replaced. We brought it into mercedes when they replaced the sbc brake system due to a recall and were told that the fuel vapor valve wasn't affecting anything, so we didn't need to repair it. We brought the vehicle for a smog check so we could renew our registration in July of 2013 and it failed due to the check engine light being on. The engine light is on due to the fuel vapor valve being open. We cannot get the engine light to go off, so we cannot pass a smog check. We also cannot fill it up all the way because strong fumes fill up the garage and gas leaks out. We were looking up an issue with the battery on google on 11/10/2013 and come across a class action lawsuit with Mercedes Benz about this issue. We were never informed about the problem that they were having with this car. We would like for them to repair our vehicle so we will feel safe driving it.

The interior cabin of my 2006 Mercedes Benz E500 has a strong odor of gasoline, especially after refueling. Recently, I get headaches and dizzy when driving, so I have to roll down the windows to get rid of the smell. I have addressed this problem to multiple Mercedes Benz service centers and they said that there is no danger but if I wanted the smell to go away, it would cost me appx $2000. I feel that this is a danger while driving because the fumes can cause the driver to pass out, or a spark in the car possibly from a short circuit or cigarette lighter could ignite in the car and cause an accident. After doing research regarding this matter, it seems it is the exact complaint reference NHTSA action number: pe12001. I feel that this engineering/manufacture defect should be addressed by Mercedes Benz and repaired due to its potential hazards it may cause on the highway.
