2007 MERCEDES-BENZ CLS550

The fuel tank has a leak from a defect in the plastic, and my local Mercedes dealership is unwilling to honor the Warranty Coverage Extension that covered fuel tank components to replace the fuel tank.

Drained Battery everyday.

WHILE DRIVING THE VECHILE LOWERED AND I NOTICED A PUDDLE WHILE IDLE

Mileage: 118,000

DEFECTIVE INTERNAL SPEED SENSOR DOES NOT SEND SIGNAL TO TCM(TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE) CAUSING LOSS OF POWER WHILE MOVING. THE ONLY WAY TO GET CAR GOING AGAIN IS TO SHUT OFF CAR AND RESTART HOPING IT WILL RESET. IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN IN CONSTRUCTION ZONE WITH NOWHERE TO PULL OVER, MAY BE DEADLY.

DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND SUDDENLY VEHICLE JERKED AND LOSSES ALL POWER. ENGINE REVS BUT DOESN'T MOVE. THIS CAN BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. TRANSMISSION WENT INTO 'LIMP' MODE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT LIT. MANY OTHER MERCEDES OWNERS REPORTING SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 722.9 TRANSMISSION VALVEBODY, CONDUCTOR PLATE, AND/OR TCM. THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AS COUNTLESS OTHER PEOPLE ARE REPORTING THIS SAME ISSUE FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW.

I AM REFERENCING ACTION # PE12001. AFTER EACH OF MY LAST TWO FUEL FILLLINGS, THE CAR IS EMITTING A VERY STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE FROM THE BACK SEAT & TRUNK COMPARTMENT. I PARK MY CAR IN MY GARAGE AND THE SMELL IS STRONG ENOUGH THAT I CAN SMELL IT IN MY HOME. I AM EXTREMELY FEARFUL THAT THERE WILL BE A FIRE. I DO NOT DESIRE TO PARK MY CAR OUTSIDE, BUT I BELIEVE THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO KEEP IN GARAGE. I HAVE LOST CONFIDENCE IN MY CAR FEARING THAT EVEN DRIVING IT AROUND TOWN COULD POSE A DANGER TO ME AND MY PASSENGERS.

MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED THE 2007 CLS550 ABOUT SEPTEMBER 2015. WE NOTICED WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GAS, WE WOULD HAVE GAS FUMES IN THE VEHICLE SPECIFICALLY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR INSIDE AND OUTSIDE. THE FUMES WERE LIGHT AND WOULD DISSIPATE ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF GAS IN THE TANK TO ABOUT THREE-QUARTERS TANK. LAST WEEK WE FILLED THE TANK AND THE SMALL IS NOW STRONGER AND HAS YET TO DISSIPATE ALTHOUGH WE HAVE A QUARTER TANK OF GAS REMAINING. I CHECKED FOR ANY RECALLS ON THIS SINCE WE HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE VEHICLE HAVING BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS, BUT FIND WE DO NOT. THIS ONLINE SEARCH DID NOT REVEAL ANY RECALLS FOR THE GAS FUMES, BUT I NOTED THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM FOR THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE. HAVE ANY PEOPLE DIED FROM THIS, ANY FIRES, ACCIDENTS AS A RESULT? WE HAVE NOT YET, BUT WILL BE TAKING OUR VEHICLE IN FOR EVALUATION OF THE PROBLEM AND WOULD BE ABLE TO PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION OF THE RESULTS IN THE FUTURE.

UPON SMELLING GASOLINE WHEN THE AUTO IN QUESTION WAS FILLED, WE WERE DIRECTED MY MERCEDES DEALERSHIP ON WEST SAHARA IN THE CITY OF LAS VEGAS IN THE STATE OF NEVADA. THE OWNER REPLACED THE GAS CAP. THE AUTO IN QUESTION CONTINUED TO SMELL OF GASOLINE OFF AND ON. IN SEPTEMBER OF 2014 THE AUTO DISPLAYED A SIGNAL AT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE LOOKED AT. THE AUTO WAS TAKEN BACK TO MERCEDES ON WEST SAHARA AND THE OWNER WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A FUEL TANK LEAK. DUE TO THE QUOTE OF $3500 TO FIX THE ISSUE, THE AUTO WAS TAKEN TO G&G AUTO AND AUTHORIZED MERCEDES REPAIR SHOP IN LAS VEGAS. THE LEAD MECHANIC CONFIRMED THE FUEL TANK LEAK AND SHOWED THE OWNER HOW THE GAS POOLED ON TOP OF THE TANK WHICH IS JUST UNDER THE BACK SEAT. OBVIOUSLY A HUGE DANGER. THE OWNER OF G&G AUTOSHOP INFORMED THE OWNER THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND ALERTED US TO THE DOCUMENTATION ON THE INTERNET REGARDING CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS. THE OWNER CONTACTED MERCEDES HEAD QUARTERS IN NEW YORK CITY AND WELL AS THE GENERA
