ENGINE
CAR WAS ACTING WIELD WHILE DRIVING AT 55 OR 65 MPH ON FREEWAY FOR SOMETIMES AND SUDDENLY ENGINE GOT KILL OFF COMPLETELY ON FREEWAY 57 AND I WAS ALMOST GOT KILL WITH THIS BENZ. THE CAR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON FOR A FEW DAYS AND THEN WENT OFF AGAIN AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS THAT MEANS SO I HAD THE CAR SCAN CHECK FOR PROBLEM BUT IT SHOWED NOTHING ON COMPUTER. AFTER THE INCIDENT, I HAS IT RESCAN AGAIN, AND IT SHOWED A P0025 PROBLEM CODE POINTING IT TO A FAULTY PART "CAM SHAFT RETARD ON BANK 2". ON THE NEXT DAY I WAS GOOGLING TO CHECK OUT WHAT IS THE P0025 CODE MEAN AND THEN I HAD NOTICED THAT THIS TYPE OF FAULTY CAM SHAFT PART HAS BEEN LONG AWARD WITH MANY OF THE DRIVERS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS AND VERY UNSAFE ISSUE AND I AM FILING A COMPLAIN FOR THIS TO THE MERCEDES MANUFACTURER TO HAVE THIS RESOLVE ASAP. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
PLEASE REFERENCE EXISTING NHTSA COMPLAINT #PE12001. MY 2006 MERCEDES E55 HAS RAW FUEL PUDDLING UNDER THE REAR SEAT AREA BEHIND THE DRIVER'S SEAT. THERE APPEARS TO BE A LEAK FROM THE HOUSING OR TANK ITSELF IN THIS AREA. THE FUEL LEAK IS SUBSTANTIAL AND THE VAPORS FROM THIS LEAK ARE OVERWHELMING INSIDE THE CAR. I HAVE TAKEN NUMEROUS DETAILED PHOTOGRAPHS OF THIS LEAK. I ALSO HAVE A VIDEO CLIP THAT APPEARS TO CAPTURE A HISSING SOUND OF PRESSURIZATION INSIDE THE TANK FORCING FUEL VAPOR INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO SHARE ANY OF THIS INFORMATION WITH YOU TO HELP WITH YOUR INVESTIGATION. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED SEVERAL DOZEN COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS EXACT PROBLEM FROM OTHER MERCEDES E55 OWNERS, AND PERHAPS FROM OTHER MERCEDES MODELS THAT USE THE SAME GAS TANK / SENDER UNITS. DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF FUEL THAT IS PUDDLING UP IN THE BACK OF MY CAR, I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AND THE RAW FUEL SMELL IS GIVING ME A HEADACHE EVEN WHEN I KEEP THE WINDOWS ROLLED ALL THE WAY DOWN. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR HELP IN APPLYING PRESSURE ON MBUSA TO PROVIDE A VALID AND COMPLETE FIX FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR

POWER TRAIN
CAR HAS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON, DIAGNOSED TO HAVE BALANCE SHAFT FAILURE. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN DEFECT THAT HAPPENS TO MANY CARS WITH THIS ENGINE. MERCEDES WAS AWARE SINCE 2007, BUT REFUSES TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, ONLY OFFERS TO GIVE 'FREE' PARTS. DEALER SAYS WOULD COST $4500 TO $6000 FOR LABOR TO FIX. MERCEDES SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2006 MERCEDES BENZ MODEL E350. STRONG FUEL ODOR EMANATING FROM REAR AREA (TRUNK) OF VEHICLE ON THE OUTSIDE. CAR WOULD NOT START AND TOWED BY AAA TO MERCEDES BENZ DEALERSHIP/CAR REPAIR. AAA TOW DRIVER STATED THAT THE ODOR OF GASOLINE WAS SO STRONG HE WAS TEMPTED IN CALLING THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. MERCEDES BENZ SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE INFORMED US AT FIRST THAT CAR WAS FULL OF WATER. ORIGINALLY THE MECHANIC CLAIMED HE FOUND A POOL OF WATER INSIDE THE CAR'S TRUNK. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE INFORMED THE TECHNICIAN OF OUR COMPLAINT OF A STRONG ODOR OF FUEL COMING FROM BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. IT WAS AT THIS TIME THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT HE FOUND A HEAVY POOL OF FUEL IN THE TRUNK AREA OF THE VEHICLE. THEY WERE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF THE FUEL LEAK. THEY CHANGED THE GASOLINE TANK AND FUEL PUMP BUT WERE UNCERTAIN OF THE ACTUAL CAUSE OF THE LEAK. THE VEHICLE REMAINED AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR ONE WEEK. MERCEDES BENZ SERVICE MANAGER REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE FUEL LEAK WAS CAUSED BY A FACTORY DEFECT AND NOT BY WEAR AND TEAR OF THE PARTS AND WE WERE CHARGED FOR ALL THE REPAIRS. WE ARE AWARE THAT SIMILAR INCIDENTS HAVE BEEN REPORTED FOR THE SAME MERCEDES BENZ MODEL IN OTHER STATES. WE FEEL THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED URGENTLY BEFORE SOMEONE EITHER GETS HURT OR LOSES THEIR LIFE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I NOTICED A STRONG GAS SMELL IN MY GARAGE WHENEVER I FILL UP THE GAS TANK, I TOOK MY CAR TO MERCEDES BENZ DEALER IN HOUSTON, TX (MERCEDES-BENZ OF HOUSTON GREENWAY) AND IT WAS TOLD THAT MY TANK HAS A HOLE AND IT LEAKS FUMES INTO THE SURROUNDING THAT IS WHY I SMELLED GAS. THE DEALER ASKED FOR $3095 TO REPAIR THE ISSUE WHICH WILL REQUIRE REPLACING THE FUEL TANK. I HAVE BEEN TAKEN GOOD CARE OF MY CAR AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE IS A HOLE IN THE TANK IN THE FIRST PLACE, I BELIEVE IT IS MANUFACTURER DEFECT IN THE DESIGN/WORKMANSHIP OF THE FUEL SYSTEM IN THIS MODEL *TR *JS

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE ENTIRE INTERIOR OF THE CAR HAS SMELLED OF FUEL. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF FUEL LEAKING ON THE GROUND DURING THESE EVENTS. THE SMELL WAS MOST EVIDENT AFTER DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND NOTICED WHEN COMING TO STOP. THE SMELL IS STRONGEST INSIDE THE CAR AND IS VERY WORRY SOME. I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL SIMILAR STORIES WHICH CAN BE FOUND IN THE FOLLOWING LINK ON MBWORLD.ORG: HTTP://MBWORLD.ORG/FORUMS/W211-AMG/363759-URGENT-NOTICE-03-06-E55S-WERE-INVOLVED-FUEL-SENDER-RECALL-BOMBS.HTML I AM NOW VERY WORRIED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE KNOWING THAT SOME E-CLASS (W211), ESPECIALLY THE E55 MODELS HAVE BURST INTO FLAMES. I ALSO KNOW THAT A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT ALSO EXISTS AGAINST MB NA. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS COMPLAINT AND THE MANY OTHERS BEFORE MORE AMERICAN MOTORISTS GET INJURED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE FUEL SENSOR FAILED, RESULTING IF FUEL LEAKS. THERE ARE MANY REPORTS AND MERCEDES DENIES THE PROBLEM. AMAZING THAT SUCH A BIG SAFETY ISSUE IS BEING IGNORED AND DENIED BY MERCEDES. THIS IS SO PREVALENT, IN A PRETTY RARE CAR, THAT MY DEALER STOCKS THE REPAIR PARTS. EVEN MY SERVICE ADVISER WAS SURPRISED THEY DID. IN READING MERCEDES' RESPONSE TO THE INVESTIGATION, IT IS ALMOST A JOKE. THEY CLAIM THAT SINCE THIS ISN'T DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE RECALL, THERE ISN'T AN ISSUE. THAT MAKE ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE. PERHAPS IT ISN'T RELATED TO THE RECALL, BUT YOU HAVE 50+ COMPLAINTS FOR A CAR WHERE AROUND 1,500 WERE IMPORTED. ESTIMATING 1 IN 10 PEOPLE ACTUALLY COMPLAIN THAT MEANS THAT 1/3 OF THE CARS HAVE THE PROBLEM. IF IT IS 1 IN 20, THAN 2/3RDS HAVE THE PROBLEM. AT $1000+ TO FIX, MERCEDES IS MAKING A TON OF MONEY ON THEIR FAILURE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
LEAK FROM THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS CAR WITH MANY COMPLAINTS TO THE NHTSA. MERCEDES WANTS CLOSE TO $2000 FOR REPAIR THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT INCLUDING FUEL TANK AND SENDING UNITS. AS MY CHILDREN'S CAR SEAT IS ABOVE THIS GAS LEAK, THIS POSES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

STRUCTURE, VISIBILITY/WIPER, SEATS
THE INTERIOR DASH VENTS (SHINY ITEMS) ARE REFLECTED UNTO THE SIDE MIRRORS MAKING IT DANGEROUS WHEN CHANGING LANES BECAUSE ONE CANNOT BE SURE WHAT ONE IS SEEING IN THOSE LANES BECAUSE THE REFLECTION IS VERY PRONOUNCE. THESE VENTS AND OTHER DASH ITEMS ARE ALSO REFLECTED ON THE WINDSHIELD, ALMOST LIKE AN OBSTRUCTION WHEN ONE IS DRIVING. IN ADDITION, THE ADJUSTABLE FRONT SEATS, ARE SO UNCOMFORTABLE THAT ONE IS CONSTANTLY ADJUSTING THE SEAT SETTING WHILE DRIVING. THESE ISSUES CAN CAUSE QUITE A DISTRACTION AND ARE OBVIOUSLY DANGEROUS. WHEN WE REPORTED THESE ITEMS TO THE DEALERSHIP, MBCHARLOTTE, AND MBUSA, THEY TOOK NO ACTION. IF THERE WAS EVER AN ACCIDENT WITH THIS VEHICLE, AND THE CAUSE AND EFFECT WAS RELATED TO THESE ISSUES AS CONTRIBUTING FACTORS, HOW CAN ONE EVER PROVE THAT THEY CAUSED THE ACCIDENT OR CONTRIBUTED TO THE CAUSE. ONE WOULD NEED A WHOLE LOT OF EXPERTS TO SHOW THAT THE MANUFACTURER BUILD IN THE PROBLEM BY NOT ADDRESSING IT, OR TESTING FOR THE EFFECT THAT THESE ISSUES CAUSE THE DRIVER('S). ONE OF THE DEALERS PRODUCT EXPERT, SOLUTION TO THE REFLECTION PROBLEM WAS TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS WHEN DRIVING TO GET RID OF THE REFLECTIONS. THE INDIVIDUAL WHO SOLD US THE CAR, [XXX], TELLS ME, NOW, THAT HE NOTICES THIS REFLECTION ON ALL THESE CARS. THE DEALERSHIP IS INDIFFERENT ABOUT THESE ITEMS BROUGHT TO THEIR ATTENTION. EVEN THOUGH THEY, IN OUR EYES, ARE SAFETY ISSUES. HOPEFULLY NHTSA CAN LOOK INTO THIS AND CAN DO SOMETHING TO RESOLVE IT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE FUEL TANK LEAKS FROM THE UPPER VENT WHEN FUEL TANK IS FULL. THERE IS A PLASTIC CONNECTION THAT A HOSE CONNECTS TO THAT IS UNDER THE FUEL LEVEL WHEN FULL. THIS FITTING IS PLASTIC WELDED TO THE TANK AND WILL EVENTUALLY FAIL ON EVERY 211 CHASSIS MERCEDES BENZ EVER MADE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MINE IS A 90000 MILE VEHICLE SHOWING NORMAL WEAR, NO ABUSE OR NO ACCIDENTS, DIAGNOSED WITH LEAKY FUEL TANK. JUST SPENT $900 ON FUEL PUMP, SENDER AND PRESSURE SENSOR-ALL OF WHICH WAS TO FIX STRONG GAS ODOR. REPAIRS DID NOT ABATE THE STRONG GAS ODOR WHEN TANK IS FULL. INDEPENDENT MERCEDES MECHANIC THEN DIAGNOSED AS LEAKY TANK AND STATED THAT REPAIRS WOULD BE ABOUT $1500. HIS PARTS MAN SAID THAT THE PART NUMBER ON THE FUEL TANKS HAD CHANGED THREE TIMES-INDICATING THAT HE THOUGHT THAT MERCEDES WAS TRYING DIFFERENT FIXES. MECHANIC ALSO SAID THAT HIS SHOP HAS DIAGNOSED/FIXED SEVERAL OTHER WITH SAME PROBLEM. GAS ODOR IS SO STRONG THAT I BELIEVE THAT A TOSSED CIGARETTE WOULD IGNITE MY MERCEDES. MECHANIC SAYS THAT THE TANK IS SOME FORM OF "PLASTIC" AND NOT METAL. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THERE IS A STRONG FUEL SMELL IN THE VEHICLE AFTER FILLING UP GAS TANK. DEALER FOUND THE ISSUE ASSOCIATED TO FUEL SENDING UNIT, WHICH SEEM TO BE A RECURRENT ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL IN MERCEDES. DEALER REQUIRES $1,400 TO FIX THE ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED MBUSA TO SEE IF THEY CAN HELP WITH THIS REPAIR. THERE HAS BEEN A VOLUNTARY RECALL ON THE E CLASS FOR 03-06 VEHICLES, HOWEVER MY CAR IS AN 07 MODEL AND THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS YEAR, YET FORUMS OF MERCEDES BENZ OWNERS ARE FILLED WITH SAME COMPLAINT FOR ALL E CLASS MODELS WITH CHASSIS W211. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS AN OPEN NHTSA CASE PE12-001 THAT MAY BE RELATED TO MY COMPLAINT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PROMPT ATTENTION. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE VAPORS INSIDE CABIN WHILE DRIVING AND ALSO WHILE PARKED. GOT HEADACHE WHILE DRIVING FROM FUMES. FIRST NOTICED SMELL OF GASOLINE WHEN I ENTERED MY GARAGE. THEN I NOTICED GASOLINE LEAKING NEAR REAR DRIVER WHEEL. TOWED CAR TO MECHANIC. MECHANIC SAID THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE FUEL SENDING UNIT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. MECHANIC REPLACED THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. SEEMS TO ME THAT GASOLINE VAPORS IN MY GARAGE OR INSIDE THE CABIN ARE A HEALTH HAZARD AND POTENTIAL FOR EXPLOSION. *TR

MY PARENT FILLED UP THE CAR AND PARKED IN GARAGE. UPON RETURNING TO THE GARAGE, THEY EXPERIENCED THE STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE FILLING THE GARAGE. THEIR HOME HEATING SYSTEM IS CONTAINED IN A SPACE ATTACHED TO THE GARAGE SO THEY HAVE SAFETY CONCERNS ABOUT AN APPARENT FUEL LEAK. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
NOTICED A GAS SMELL OUTSIDE OF THE CAR WHEN IT WAS SITTING STILL AND I LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND FUEL HAD PUDDLES UP UNDER IT. OPENED THE DOORS AND NOTICED A STRONG FUEL SMELL INSIDE THE CAR. PULLED OUT THE REAR SEATS AND LIFTED UP THE LINER UNDER THE SEATS AND NOTICED FUEL WAS POOLED UP IN THE PASSENGER SIDE BOWL UNDER THE SEAT. THE SEAL THAT IS BOLTED DOWN HAS PUSHED OUT AND IS ALLOWING FUEL TO COME INSIDE THE CAR AND HAS SOAKED INTO THE LINER UNDER THE SEAT. ALSO THE BOLT THAT HOLDS DOWN THE SENDING UNIT WILL NOT SCREW INTO THE HOLE DUE TO THE BOLT HOLE BEING STRIPPED OUT. I AM WANTING THIS TO AID IN THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST MERCEDES BENZ IN THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE FUEL SYSTEM LEAKS IN THE 03-06 E SERIES MERCEDES BENZ CARS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
REFERENCE PE12001 GASOLINE STARTED POURING INSIDE THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT UNDER THE REAR SEAT BENCH ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. EXTREME GASOLINE FUMES INSIDE THE VEHICLE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON AT THE SAME TIME OF INCIDENT. ISSUE IS ONGOING. CALLED MERCEDES BENZ OF BLOOMFIELD HILLS AND EXPLAINED THE ISSUE. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL 2008020001 WAS DONE ON THIS CAR IN 2008. BUT THAT THE RECURRENT PROBLEM "FIX" WOULD BE OUT OF MY POCKET. I CALLED MBUSA AND DOCUMENTED MY COMPLAIN BUT THEY WOULD TAKE NO ACTION. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN AND RECURRENT ISSUE WITH THE E CLASS W211 MERCEDES BENZ FROM 2003 - ON. CARS THAT HAVE BEEN "FIXED" START DUMPING FUEL INTO THE CABIN WITHIN THE NEXT 10,000 MILES OR SO. ALL IT WOULD TAKE IS TO DRIVE OVER A LIT UP CIGARETTE AT LOW SPEED AND THE OCCUPANTS CAN BE IN DANGER OF BODILY INJURIES OR DEATH. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN FILLING UP MY VEHICLE WITH FUEL I HAVE NOTICED THAT FOR THE FIRST FEW DAYS THERE IS A STRONG FUEL SMELL COMING FROM INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE CAR. I WORK IN THE AUTOMOTIVE FIELD BY TRADE AND UPON SHORT INVESTIGATION I HAVE NOTICED THAT RAW FUEL IS LEAKING FROM THE TOP OF THE FUEL SENDING UNIT AND POOLING UP UNDER THE BACK SEATS WHERE THE ACCESS PANELS ARE LOCATED. THIS RAW FUEL CAN AND WILL DRIP ONTO A HOT EXHAUST PIPE CREATING A NOT ONLY DANGEROUS BUT POTENTIALLY FATAL SCENARIO. I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO KEEP THE FUEL LEVEL AT HALF FULL TO PREVENT ANY SPILL OVER OUTSIDE THE CAR AND INTO THE CABIN. WHAT I HAVE READ ON ENTHUSIAST SITES I AM ONE OF HUNDREDS THAT HAVE CLAIMED THIS SAME ISSUE. *TR
