I OWNED 2007 MERCEDE CLS550. I NOTES A STRONG GAS SMELL INSIDE AND OUT SIDE THE CAR AFTER I FILL IT UP. I REPLACED THE FUEL CAP BUT NO HELP. FUMES FILL UP MY CAR AND MY GARAGE EVERY TIME I FILL UP NOW.

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY TANK WITH GASOLINE, ONCE I PARK IN THE GARAGE, THE GARAGE IS FILLED WITH STRONG GAS FUMES FROM MY CAR. I CHECKED FOR LEAKS UNDER THE CAR AND FOUND NOTHING. I HAVE TO RAISE THE GARAGE DOOR TO LET THE FUMES OUT, DUE TO GETTING LIGHTHEADED FROM THE FUMES. THE FUMES REMAIN WITH THE CAR FOR 7-10 DAYS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS. THIS PROBLEM IS A DANGER TO MY FAMILY'S HEALTH!!!! SURELY, THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM! 2ND ISSUE: I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND THE FAN KEPT RUNNING. I NOTICED THAT THE FAN WAS SO LOUD THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS ABOUT TO BLOW UP. BLACK SMOKE CAME FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I WENT ON INTO THE BUILDING TO MY MEETING FOR AN HOUR. WHEN I CAME BACK OUTSIDE, THE FAN WAS STILL GOING AND STILL LOUD. THIS HAD NEVER HAPPENED IN THE FIVE YEARS THAT I HAD THE CAR. THE CAR WOULD NOT START. I HAD TO CALL SOMEONE TO BOOST IT OFF TO START. I THEN WENT TO THE SHOP TO CHECK TO SEE IF I HAD BATTERY OR STARTER PROBLEMS. NO PROBLEMS FOUND IN...
