general problems of the 2015 Mercedes Benz GLK350

My truck has been smelling like gas for a while. I replaced the gas cap and still smelled gas when I was driving. Recently I started smelling it inside the car. It was leaking from two places under the car when I would drive it or just have it running. The mechanic took the plastic piece off the bottom and gas started pouring down. He took the back seats out and there was a pool of gas sitting on the fuel pump. He had me start the car and it immediately started spewing from the fuel pump inside the car. I did not know I could report a complaint so I did not take pictures. The car has been sitting since Saturday without being turned on and the gas spot on the ground remains wet. It’s very dangerous and right now I cannot fix it due to finances.

Gasoline smell around the car when parked in the garage. An inspection underneath the car and in the engine, bay failed to locate the leak. A [xxx] search for fuel leak on Mercedes Benz (mb) returned a number of hits for problems with leaks around fuel tank components on the glk and other mb models. Upon removal of the rear seat and a check under the two fuel tank covers, I found gasoline pooled on a concave area on top of the fuel suction pump assembly, mb, part 2184700994 (see attached photos). This plastic part has cracks in it that allow fuel to escape. I contacted mb u. S. Headquarters support as I thought that they may have been a campaign to replace this component since the 2012 glk had a recall for fuel flange cracks but the mb customer support team indicated that a campaign did not exist for this issue on the 2015 mb glk. Since the car is out of warranty, I purchased a replacement part 2184700994 and installed it which fixed the problem. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

While exiting the hwy the car slow down on its own from about 60 to around 45 without breaking. Inoperative see owner's manual appeared on the dashboard and the car started loosing power. When I tried to accelerate it did would not speed up pass 50. After coming to a traffic light I tried to accelerate and it was very slow even when the pedal was all the way down to the floor. Luckily there was no one on the road at the time. I pump the pedal several times trying to speed up and it would not go pass 55-60 despite pressing the gas to the floor. After I got home I turned the car off and on then drive it again, acceleration seemed to come back and the lights were no longer on the dashboard.
