FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I OWN A 2004 MERCEDES BENZ E55. I AM REPORTING A VERY STRONG GAS ODOR IN THE CABIN, AS WELL AS THE EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE ESPECIALLY AFTER FUELING THE VEHICLE. THE APPROPRIATE RECALL WAS DONE ON MY CAR IN 2008 AND THE SAME PARTS ARE FAILING. THE SMELL OF GAS IN THE CABIN IS OVERWHELMING!!! SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS ONGOING ISSUE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
A FUEL TANK LEAK WAS IDENTIFIED BY AN INDEPENDENT MERCEDES MECHANIC. FILLING UP THE CAR WITH FUEL AND PARKING IN GARAGE OVERNIGHT, ALWAYS PRODUCED A SIGNIFICANT GAS ODOR WHEN RETURNING TO THE GARAGE. IT HAS ALWAYS DONE THIS (SECOND OWNER AT ABOUT 25-30KK MILES), AND I ASSUMED IT WAS JUST A QUIRK OF FILLING THE TANK. I HAVE ALWAYS SERVICED THE CAR AT A MB DEALER, BUT RECENTLY WANT TO A LOCAL WELL RECOMMENDED INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR ANOTHER ISSUE AND HE ASKED ME IF I KNEW I HAD A FUEL LEAK. I SAID NO, AND HE SAID DO YOU EVER SMELL GAS, AND CLEARLY THIS WAS IDENTIFIED AND HAD STORED CODES IN THE CAR SYSTEM THAT I WAS UNAWARE OF. HE INDICATED THAT THE SENDING UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND CRACK REPAIRED AND IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. I CALLED MB USA, AND THEY INDICATED THEY WERE UNAWARE OF ANY OF OTHER COMPLAINTS TO THIS NATURE. WHEN I QUESTIONED WHY THE DEALER WOULD NEVER HAVE IDENTIFIED THIS, THEY INDICATED THAT THEY WOULD NEVER INSTRUCT THEIR DEALERS IN ANY WAY REGARDING AN ISSUE LIKE THIS AND THE DEALER HAS NO INCENTIVE TO NOT IDENTIFY THE ISSUE AND I SHOULD DISCUSS WITH THEM. I PROCEEDED TO HAVE THE REPAIR DONE BY THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. I UNDERSTAND THAT FUEL WOULD POOL OVER THE GAS TANK FROM THE LEAK. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS I HAVE NOTICED A SIGNIFICANT SMELL OF FUEL WHENEVER I GET IN AND OUT OF MY E55. I HAD THE DEALER LOOK IT AT DURING MY LAST SERVICE A MONTH AGO AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG... I HAVE NOT NOTICED ANY FUEL LEAKING FROM BELOW THE CAR. AFTER VIEWING THE HUNDREDS OF THREADS AND COMMENTS ON THE FOLLOWING 30 PAGES ON A MERCEDES FORUM, I DECIDED TO HAVE A LOOK FOR MYSELF: HTTP://MBWORLD.ORG/FORUMS/W211-AMG/363759-URGENT-NOTICE-03-06-E55-S-WERE-INVOLVED-FUEL-SENDER-RECALL-BOMBS.HTML WHEN I TOOK OFF THE METAL COVERS ON TOP OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AND DRIVER SIDE SENDING UNITS I FOUND FRESH FUEL ON TOP OF BOTH UNITS. THE PASSENGER WAS VERY LITTLE. THE DRIVER SIDE WAS SIGNIFICANT AND SQUIRTING OUT FROM A PLASTIC NIPPLE THAT IS PART OF THE SENDING UNIT. MERCEDES REFUSES TO TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM BASED ON THE 30+ PAGES FOUND ON THE LINK ABOVE. YOUR ORGANIZATION IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, THERE IS EVEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST MBNA. I WILL HAVE MY VEHICLE REPAIRED AT MY OWN EXPENSE BY MY OWN MECHANIC BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE PATIENCE TO PUT UP WITH AN ARROGANT SERVICE ADVISOR WHO WILL SURELY DENY THIS IS WAS EVER A PROBLEM ON THE W211 E55 MERCEDES. I THINK ITS TIME THAT YOUR ORGANIZATION FORCE MBUSA/MBNA TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FILLED MY JUST PURCHASED 2003 E55 AMG WITH GASOLINE ON 10/30/14 AND DROVE STRAIGHT HOME. AFTER A FEW MINUTES MY BROTHER TOLD ME THE GARAGE HAD A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL. DROVE TO WORK THE NEXT MORNING AND NOTICED THE SMELL WAS EXTREMELY STRONG IN THE CAR AND LEFT WINDOWS DOWN TO VENTILATE. DROVE HOME WITH WINDOWS DOWN AND STILL NOTICED SMELL THAT SEEMED TO BE COMING FROM BACK SEAT OF CAR. ENTERED CAR AND "GASOLINE SMELL" INTO INTERNET SEARCH TO FIND THERE IS A LARGE SCALE ISSUE, INVESTIGATION, AND LAWSUIT. WHEN PICKING THE CAR UP FROM DEALER I NOTICED THE ENTIRE REAR SEAT BOTTOM WAS NOT ATTACHED. THOUGHT IT MAY HAVE BEEN DUE TO AN INSPECTION. HOWEVER, IT TURNS OUT THAT THE ACCESS PANEL FOR THE FUEL SENDING UNIT IS DIRECTLY UNDER THE SEAT. AFTER LEARNING THIS I REMOVED THE REAR SEAT TO FIND GASOLINE ON THE ACCESS PANEL. REMOVED THE PANEL TO FIND A PUDDLE OF GASOLINE ON TOP OF THE TANK AROUND THE SENDING UNIT. IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID TO PARK THE CAR AND A TOW TRUCK WOULD DELIVER IT TO THEM. THEN THE DEALER CALLED AND PROVIDED A NUMBER FOR ME TO CALL MERCEDES BENZ USA TO ARRANGE A TOW TRUCK. MERCEDES ARRANGED THE TOW TRUCK AND HAULED THE JUST PURCHASED CAR BACK TO DEALER. DEALER IS SUPPOSED TO BE CHECKING IT ON MONDAY 11/3/14 TO LET ME KNOW THE STATUS. *TR

I PURCHASED A CERTIFIED PRE- OWNED MERCEDES-BENZ E 350 2010 ON DECEMBER 4, 2013, FROM VALLEY MOTORS MERCEDES-BENZ DEALERSHIP AT 9800 YORK ROAD, COCKEYSVILLE, MD 21030. THE DRIVER'S HEADREST HAS EXPLODED THREE TIMES, 2 DAYS AFTER A 30,000 MILE SERVICE. ON THE SECOND EXPLOSION AN ODOR WAS EMITTED AND THE SRS FAILURE MESSAGES FOR BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT HEADRESTS APPEARED ON THE DASH.THE MB SALISBURY DEALER REPLACED THE HEADREST ON THE FIRST SERVICE ATTEMPT. THE SECOND ATTEMPT THEY GUTTED THE CAR AND FOUND A FOREIGN INTRUSION AND THE WIRING HAD TO BE REPLACED AT $9000. MY OPTIONS WOULD BE TO REPAIR IT AT MY COST, GO THROUGH MY INSURANCE, OR SEEK HELP THROUGH MBUSA OR THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR. SALISBURY MB TOLD ME IN THE MB RECORDS THAT THE HEADREST WAS PREVIOUSLY REPLACED IN OCTOBER 2013 AT VALLEY MOTORS. I WAS UNAWARE OF ANY REPLACED HEADREST IN THE SERVICE RECORDS AND CAR FAX THAT I RECEIVED WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND DOUBLE CHECKED MY PAPERWORK. MY RECORDS WAS A CAR FAX THAT SHOWED VEHICLE RECORDS TO 7/2/ 2013, THE CPO INSPECTION REPORT DONE ON 09/05/13, AND AN INVOICE FOR WORK DONE ON 9/9/13 AT VALLEY MOTORS. NO SERVICE RECORDS FOR THE HEADREST REPAIR AND WHY IT WAS DONE.I CALLED THE SALESPERSON, SHADY SAMY, AT VALLEY MOTORS ( 10/3/14) AND HE ALSO TOLD ME THE HEADREST WAS REPLACED BEFORE I PURCHASED THE CAR AT VALLEY MOTORS.HE SAID I HAVE BUMPER TO BUMPER COVERAGE AND TO CALL CUSTOMER CARE AT MB. MB WILL NOT COVER THIS. VALLEY MOTORS HAVE DECIDED TO DO NOTHING TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THEY SAID I DID THIS TO THE CAR. I DID NOT. I HAVE ASKED SEVERAL PEOPLE INCLUDING THE SALESPERSON WHY WAS THE HEADREST REPLACED AT VALLEY MOTORS BEFORE I PURCHASED IT. THEY DO NOT ANSWER. THEY DID NOT FIND THIS WHEN THEY REPLACED THE HEADREST AND NOW DO NOT WANT TO REPAIR A DEFECT THAT WAS THERE WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I AM FORCED TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER FILLING THE GAS TACK - I STARTED SMELLING FUEL IN THE GARAGE. I DIDN'T SEE A GAS LEAK ON THE FLOOR BUT THE SMELL OF FUEL WAS VERY STRONG. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT MONTH. IT WOULD GO AWAY AFTER 2-3 GALLONS OF FUEL WERE BURNT OFF. I BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE GAS TANK ASSEMBLY AS I FOUND MANY OTHER E55 OWNERS WITH SIMILAR ISSUES. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THERE IS A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY INDICATED THERE IS NOT A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE AND THE TANK SHOULD BE REPLACED. RESEARCHED THIS AND FOUND THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FOR THIS ISSUE THAT HAVE BEEN LODGED. THE AVERAGE BENZ OWNER PARKS THEIR CAR IN THE GARAGE. THE AVERAGE HOMEOWNER HAS A GAS WATER HEATER LOCATED IN THE GARAGE. THIS IS AN OPEN FLAME AND GASOLINE CONNECTION WHICH CAN RESULT IN AN EXPLOSION. *TR

POWER TRAIN
UPON EXITING THE FREEWAY AND COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AS USUAL. ACCELERATION WAS VERY SLOW AND WITHOUT POWER. UPON LOOKING AT GAUGE CLUSTER, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED ITSELF INTO 5TH GEAR IT SEEMS. USING THE PADDLE SHIFTER I THEN PROCEEDED TO DOWNSHIFT THE TRANSMISSION TO 1ST GEAR TO PULL AWAY FROM STOP. CAR REMAINED IN AUTOMATIC MODE, BUT WAS NOT SHIFTING OUT OF GEAR. CLUSTER DISPLAYS AUTOMATIC COMFORT MODE, BUT WOULD NOT LEAVE FROM WHAT IT SEEMS 2ND GEAR. STOP ENGINE AND RESTART CAR, DRIVE AROUND AND CAR WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF GEAR. UPON SEARCHING THE INTERNET THIS IS A VERY VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH ALL 7 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS OFFERED BY MERCEDES BENZ. THEY HAVE NOT ASSUMED RESPONSIBILITY FOR A DEFECT IN PART. MANY HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS DIAGNOSING AND REPAIRING TRANSMISSION RELATED ISSUES WHICH REVOLVE AROUND THIS SUB PAR TRANSMISSION. IF YOU SEARCH ONLINE FOR CONDUCTOR PLATE, MERCEDES YOU WILL FIND COUNTLESS PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH TRANSMISSION FAILURE'S DUE TO THIS FAULTY PART. THIS ISSUE AFFECTS ALL MERCEDES 7 SPEED TRANSMISSIONS AND AS SEEN THROUGH ONLINE SEARCH IS A WORLD WIDE ISSUE. I HAVE READ ABOUT THIS IN THE UK, AUSTRALIA, SOUTH AMERICA, AS WELL AS IN THE USA. *TR

POWER TRAIN
CAR EXHIBITS A ROUGH/UNPREDICTABLE SHIFTING AND ACCELERATION AT INTERMITTENT INTERVALS. ISSUE PRESENTS ITSELF AT RANDOM TIMES AND AT RANDOM SPEEDS SO IT IS DIFFICULT TO RECREATE AT WILL. ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PASS OR AVOID HAZARDS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS; WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE GAS SOMETIMES THERE IS A LONG DELAY BEFORE ACCELERATION BEGINS, AND THEN THE ACCELERATION IS MORE THAN EXPECTED FOR THE ACCELERATOR INPUT. OTHER TIMES THE CAR ACTS NORMALLY AND WILL RESPOND PROPERLY TO ACCELERATOR INPUTS. AT LOW SPEEDS SHIFTS FROM 3 TO 4 AND 4 TO 3 ARE SOMETIMES ABRUPT/ROUGH WHICH IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH A CAR OF THIS CALIBER. THE CAR ALSO HAD A REAR END SHAKE FROM NEW, SO DEALER REPLACED REAR TIRES, AND THEN WHEN SHAKING PERSISTED THEY REPLACED THE FRONT TIRES, BUT THERE IS STILL A NOTICEABLE REAR END SHAKE WHICH THE DEALER ATTRIBUTES TO "ROAD FEEL" DUE TO LOW PROFILE TIRES, BUT I'VE HAD AUTOMOBILES WITH LOW PROFILE TIRES AND I AM A MECHANICAL ENGINEER, SO I KNOW WHAT ROAD FEEL FROM A LOW PROFILE TIRE IS VS SHAKING WHICH WAS CLEARLY PRESENT OTHERWISE THEY WOULD NOT HAVE REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES. CAR HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES, BUT THE SHAKING, AND TRANSMISSION ISSUES PERSIST. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER I FILLED UP GAS AND PARKED FOR 2 DAYS, I WENT BACK TO THE CAR AND SMELLED GAS ODOR FROM THE OUTSIDE AND THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. I DROVE THE CAR FOR 78 MILES AND STILL SMELL THE GAS WHILE DRIVING. I WENT BACK AND PARKED, THE SMELL STILL OCCURRED. WHEN I CHECKED ONLINE, THERE WAS A LOT OF COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS ISSUE ( FUEL SENDING UNIT) ON THIS CAR (MERCEDES BENZ WAGON 4MATIC E 350. 2003-2009. ) THE GAS SENDING UNIT HAS LEAKED. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NHTSA SHOULD OPEN UP THE INVESTIGATION AND CONDUCT A RECALL ABOUT THIS ISSUE, BECAUSE I HAVE TWO CHILDREN'S OF MY OWN THAT SIT IN THE BACKSEAT OF OUR VEHICLE. I WILL TAKE NO CHANCES TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AND WE STILL OWN A PAYMENT ON IT. IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT BEING INVESTIGATE, I WILL TAKE IT UP TO THE NEXT LEVEL ( NATIONAL TELEVISION). I HOPE THIS ISSUE WILL RESOLVE AT THIS LEVEL IMMEDIATELY . THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER GETTING OUT OF MY VEHICLE, I NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF FUEL COMING FROM THE REAR BOTTOM OF MY VEHICLE. THERE IS A LARGE LEAK SOMEWHERE IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. THIS NOW OCCURS EVERY TIME I GET NEAR THE VEHICLE BUT IS STRONGEST AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN. IT NOW ALSO SMELLS LIKE FUEL IN THE VEHICLE ONCE THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED. IT IS NOT SO NOTICEABLE WHEN DRIVING AND THE AC IS ON. THE SMELL IS SO STRONG THAT I THINK IT WOULD IGNITE IF SOMEBODY WALKS BY WITH A CIGARETTE. THE CAR IS NOW PARKED UNTIL I AM ABLE TO FIX IT. TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
BEGINNING SOMETIME IN MAY 2013, THE CAR BEGAN LEAKING FUMES INTO THE PASSENGER CABIN WHICH MADE ME VERY ILL. AFTER TAKING IT TO BOTH PARK PLACE MERCEDES HERE IN DALLAS, AND THEN MERCEDES BENZ OF PLANO, NEITHER SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD DETERMINE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THE MATTER WITH PARK PLACE, I TOOK IT TO MERCEDES BENZ OF PLANO IN NOVEMBER 2013. THEY EVALUATED THE CAR, CHANGED THE BATTERY, AND GAVE THE CAR BACK TO ME IN DECEMBER OF 2013 FOR A WEEKEND, CLAIMING IT WAS FIXED. THE CAR, HOWEVER, WAS CONTINUING TO LEAK FUMES INTO THE PASSENGER CABIN, SICKENING ME AGAIN. I RETURNED THE CAR TO THEM FOR FURTHER EVALUATION. THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE REPAIRED IT, BUT INSTEAD OF GETTING IN THE CAR, I SENT AN INDUSTRIAL HYGIENIST TO TEST THE INSIDE AIR OF THE CAR, AFTER STARTING IT UP AND LETTING IT RUN FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES. THAT TEST FOUND UNUSUALLY LARGE CONCENTRATIONS OF ETHANOL, PROPENE, ISOPROPANOL, ACETONE, TOLUENE, HEXANE, AND CYCLOHEXANE -- CHEMICALS WHICH ALL APPEAR TO BE COMPONENTS OF GASOLINE. I AM STILL, AS OF THIS WRITING, IN OCTOBER 2014, WRANGLING WITH MERCEDES BENZ AND MERCEDES BENZ OF PLANO OVER REPAIR TO MY CAR. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE YOU WITH A COPY OF THE REPORT OF THE AIR TEST FROM THE INTERIOR OF MY 2011 MERCEDES BENZ E550 COUPE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY GASOLINE TANK IN MY MERCEDES BENZ WHEN THE SMELL FROM GASOLINE FUMES BECAME OVERWHELMING. I HAD THE SMELL, ESPECIALLY AFTER I FILLED UP THE TANK FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND WAS ALWAYS TOLD THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG AND THAT A GASOLINE SMELL AFTER FILLING UP IS NORMAL. WHEN I TOOK IN THE CAR BECAUSE I COULD NOT DRIVE IT ANY LONGER BECAUSE OF THE SEVERE SMELL, I WAS TOLD THAT MY GAS TANK HAD A LEAK AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS ALSO TOLD THIS WAS VERY UNUSUAL. THE GAS TANK HAS BEEN REPLACED AND I HAVE HAD NO GASOLINE SMELL SINCE THEN. *TR
