1 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 04/26/2024

I filled the vehicle up with gas and it started smelling very strong of gas for the next two weeks and I discovered gas underneath the driver's rear seat. . . I cleaned up the gas but continued to smell strong fuel vapors and I'm just below three quarters of a tank the 15-year warranty is over. The mercedes dealer says that they can't do anything for free and I feel this is a safety issue that needs to be rectified before someone dies in an explosion. . . No warning lights showed up but it is a common problem on the e-class due to a cracked fuel filter housing module.

2 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2022

The seal that connects the fuel level sensor to the fuel tank has failed, allowing fuel to leak onto the top of the tank when it’s filled. This creates a serious risk of fire or explosion. Unfortunately, mercedes does not offer a remedy unless you pay a prohibitively high fee.
