RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER 2008-020001. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT THAT MERCEDES REFUSES TO REPAIR. VERY DANGEROUS FUEL LEAK. FUEL PUDDLING INSIDE CABIN UNDER REAR SEAT. FIRE HAZARD AND HEALTH HAZARD.

Mileage: 61,000

FUEL SENDER UNIT WAS RECALLED IN 2008, ONLY MONTHS BEFORE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AS THE 2ND OWNER. THIS WAS PURCHASED AS A CERTIFIED PRE OWNED VEHICLE. WE HAVE OBTAINED A VEHICLE MASTER INQUIRY FROM MERCEDES BENZ AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT MAKES IT VERY CLEAR THAT THE ORIGINAL RECALL WAS EVER HANDLED PROPERLY. IN 2013, WE EXPERIENCED S STRONG ODOR OF FUEL WHEN THE CAR WAS FILLED WITH GASOLINE. THE CAR SEEMED TO LAG AT TAKEOFF, OUT OF TURNS, AND IDLED ROUGHLY. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN FOR SERVICE, WE WERE TOLD NOTHING OF THE RECALL, AND WERE CHARGED $1,015.00 TO REPLACE THE PART (WHICH WAS THE EXACT PART # OF THE FAULTY UNIT). OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS, WE NOTICED THE SMELL AGAIN ONCE IN A WHILE. THE VEHICLE DISPLAYED THE SAME SIGNS AS THE PREVIOUS TIME. AT THIS POINT, THE FUEL SMELL IS SO STRONG, THE VEHICLE IS ALMOST UNDRIVEABLE. WHEN IN THE GARAGE, YOU CAN SMELL THE FUEL THROUGH THE WALL INTO THE CLOSET (THE CLOSEST ROOM BEYOND THE GARAGE). WE ARE IN FIRM BELIEF THAT WE SHOULD

EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE CAR WITH GASOLINE, THERE IS A VERY STRONG ODOR OF FUEL BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE CABIN. THIS ODOR WILL LAST FOR A FEW DAYS UNTIL THE GAS EVAPORATE. I HAVE CHECK WITH THE MB SERVICE DEALER, THEY TOLD ME THAT A SERVICE CAMPAIGN #2008020001 FOR THE FUEL FILTER MODULE HAD BEEN DONE ON MY CAR IN MAY 2008 BY MB. IT LOOKS THAT THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRING AGAIN. I HAVE PURCHASE THIS CAR IN NOVEMBER 2013 AND ALWAYS HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE. *TR

AFTER PURCHASING A USED MB CLS55 AMG I NOTICED I KEPT SMELLING FUEL INSIDE THE CABIN OF MY VEHICLE AFTER FILLING UP WITH FUEL. DID NOT PUT ANY MIND TO IT TILL AFTER THE THIRD FILL UP. AND I DID A RESEARCH ONLINE AND NOTICED ITS A COMMON PROBLEM I THEN CALLED THE 800# AND ASKED IF THE RECALL CAMPAIGN #2008-020001 WAS EVER PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE AND THEY SAID IT WAS DONE IN 2008 BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER. I TOLD HIM THAT THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING AGAIN AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP TOLD ME THEY ONLY PERFORM THE RECALL ONCE AND IT IS UP TO THE OWNER TO PAY FOR THE PROBLEM THE SECOND TIME. SO I GUESS IM STUCK WITH A BIG BILL FOR SOMETHING THAT WAS NEVER REPAIRED PROPERLY FROM THE FIRST TIME. THATS WHAT LED ME TO THIS SITE HOPEFULLY SOMEBODY WILL READ THIS AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT A BANDAID THAT WAS PLACED ON THE CAR (BASICALLY REPLACED PART WITH THE SAME PART BUT NEWER THAT WAS DEFECTIVE FROM DAY1). *TR

AFTER FILL UP STARTED SMELLING STRONG FUMES OF GAS IN VEHICLE. AFTER ABOUT 2 DAYS OF SITTING GOT IN VEHICLE THE SMELL WAS UNBEARABLE. TRIED TO RIDE SOME OF THE FUEL OFF THINKING IT WOULD TAKE AWAY SMELL, BUT TO NO AVAIL. DECIDED TO REMOVE BACK SEATS TO SEE IF SENDING UNITS WERE LEAKING IN WHICH I HAD HEARD ABOUT THRU MB FORUMS AND WOW THERE IT WAS THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT THE SIDE WHERE THE FUEL GOES IN WAS SOAKED UNDERNEATH AND VERY DAMP ON TOP OF TANK WITH FUEL, ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE IT WAS THE FUEL SMELL NOT DAMP LIKE THE OTHER SIDE, BUT SEAT WAS STRONG OF THE ODOR OF GAS. WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO KNOW. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IM AFRAID TO DRIVE CAR NOW. *JS

I AM AMONG THE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ ABOUT WITH MERCEDES FUEL TANKS LEAKING. I HAVE A CLS55 AND FOR THE LAST 2+ YEARS I HAVE BEEN ARGUING WITH MERCEDES ABOUT A VERY STRONG FUEL SMELL INSIDE AND OUT OF THE VEHICLE. WHILE IN WARRANTY, MY LOCAL DEALER TRIED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM BY REPLACING THE SENDING UNIT TWICE. TO NO AVAIL, THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER DIAGNOSED AND OR REPAIRED CORRECTLY. NOW THAT I AM CURRENTLY OUT OF WARRANTY, THEY SEEM TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I NEED A NEW FUEL TANK. I WON'T MENTION WHAT THEY QUOTED TO REPAIR IT. I HAD AN OUTSIDE MECHANIC INSPECT THE SENDING UNIT AND TANK AND I COULD VERY CLEARLY SEE THE FUEL POURING FROM THE TOP OF THE TANK AND POOLING AT THE SENDING UNIT. THE FUEL PUMP WAS ALSO LEAKING. I HAVE SPENT MANY HUNDREDS OF HOURS DISCUSSING THIS WITH DEALERS AS WELL AS MBUSA, AND THE END RESULT WAS THAT IT WILL NOT BE REPAIRED. THEY OFFERED TO REPLACE THE TANK FOR $1000 OUT OF POCKET COST TO ME. I AM DISGUSTED BY THE WAY I HAVE BEEN T

STRONG ODOR OF FUEL AFTER FILLING TANK. THIS QUICKLY LEAD TO FUEL ODOR ANYTIME CAR WAS STARTED. I BECAME AWARE OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS POSTED ABOUT MY VEHICLE ONLINE. I REMOVED THE BACK PASSENGER SEAT AND INSPECTED THE FUEL PUMP BELOW PANELS AND FOUND THAT THE DRIVER SIDE PLASTIC PUMP HANGER ASSEMBLY IS LEAKING AT THE PLASTIC 90 DEGREE FITTING AND FILLING THE AREA WITH FUEL AND SPILLING OVER ONTO THE TOP OF THE TANK. THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH THE AMOUNT OF FUEL ESCAPING. *TR
