Other Fuel System Tank Mounting Problems of Mercedes Benz E500

This complaint relates to a prior government investigation and related extension of warranty. The government investigation determined leaks could occur from the gas tank pressure sensor, the outlet of the gas tank filling limiter valve and at the top of the fuel pump. Determined leaks could occur from the gas tank pressure sensor, the outlet of the gas tank filling limiter valve and at the top of the fuel pump. As a result, benz extended its warranty to 15 years on gas tank components in 2003-2009 e-class vehicles and 2006-2011 cls-class vehicles. Consistent with the problem, my fuel pump failed last week; the car would not start. I had the car towed to oakland mercedes for service under the warranty. Benz was notified and inspected the car last Wednesday. The dealer took possession on Friday. I have called the service dept many times to learn status of the car. Benz tells me the car still has not even been assigned a service advisor. They refuse to give me any information re the status of my car and when it will be repaired. This amounts to a refusal to fulfill their promises given upon the discovery of their faulty fuel tanks.

I have a fuel leak on the left side of my fuel tank. The fumes are so strong that I cannot operate the vehicle due the amount of fuel that settles on top of the pump/ regulator access outlet. The stream is emitting from the area of leakage so quickly that it takes about a minute to puddle and drip to the ground. The danger of a metal object being picked up by a tire and caught up on a piece of metal under my vehicle, at that location, would create a spark that would surely cause a blazing fire to erupt. Also, there is the danger of a passerby tossing a cigarette out of his/ her window, being caught up by the wind and sucked underneath my car, causing a fire.
