WHEN I FILL MY CAR UP I CAN SMELL GAS IN MY GARAGE. ONCE I DRIVE IT FOR A WHILE AND IT GETS BELOW A HALF TANK OR SO I DON'T SMELL THE GAS ANYMORE. I AM WORRIED THAT THE GAS SMELL IN THE GARAGE MADE SOME FUMES INTO MY HOUSE AND THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I SEE SOME MODELS OF MERCEDES HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS REASON. I WOULD LIKE MERCEDES TO RECALL AND REPAIR THIS AT NO CHARGE TO ME. APPARENTLY MERCEDES COVERS MODEL YEAR 2003 TO 2009 ON THE E CLASS IN 2006 TO 2011 ON THE CLS CLASS. I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. *BF *TR *TR

FUEL IS LEAKING FROM BOTH SENDER UNITS WHEN TANK IS MORE THAN 3/4 FULL. EXTREME FUMES WHEN CAR IS PARKED IN CLOSED GARAGE WITH A FULL TANK. SMELLS LIKE A LARGE QUANTITY OF FUEL IS LEAKING. PAID FOR THE SAME REPAIR 20K MILES AGO, NOW SAME PROBLEM HAS RETURNED. MB DEALER WILL NOT COVER UNDER WARRANTY, COST FOR REPAIR IS $1800 (PLUS ORIGINAL REPAIR). THE SYMPTOMS ARE IDENTICAL TO INVESTIGATION EA 13-003. ARE SIMILAR PARTS INVOLVED? GIVEN THE VAST NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS HERE AND ONLINE FORUMS, AN INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE DONE. THERE IS NO WAY THIS AMOUNT OF FUEL LEAKING IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS LITERALLY A "TICKING TIME BOMB".
