2007 Mercedes-benz CLS-Class Complaints

I FILLED MY CAR UP SUNDAY AND PARKED IT IN THE GARAGE, THE FOLLOWING MORNING THERE WAS A STRONG FUEL SMELL THAT PERMEATED THE GARAGE AND ALL AROUND THE CAR. I LOOKED FOR LEAKS FOUND NONE. THE SMELL WAS COMING FROM UNDER THE SEAT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR. I REVIEWED SOME ONLINE FORUMS AND NOTICED THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON OCCURENCE WITH THESE VEHICLES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND A SAFTEY HAZARD. *TR

WHEN I FILL MY VEHICLE UP WITH GAS, THE FUMES FILL UP MY CAR AND MY GARAGE. AFTER I DRIVE MY CAR AND THE GAS GOES DOWN TO 3/4 A TANK, THE FUMES RESIDE. I CAN ONLY FILL MY CAR UP 3/4 OF A WAY WITHOUT THE FUMES ENTERING MY CAR. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REMOVED THE BACK SEAT AND SAW THAT THE GAS WAS FILLING UP UNDER THE SEAT. THEY FOUND A LEAK AT THE FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT. THE SENDING UNIT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP MY CAR WITH GAS I NOTICED A VERY STRONG SMELL OF GAS AFTER I TURNED MY CAR OFF. THE GARAGE SMELLED SO BAD I HAD TO OPEN BOTH DOORS. I DID NOT NOTICE ANY LEAKING. I SEE SOME OTHER CARS LIKE MINE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND A HEALTH ISSUE. MB SO DO A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. *TR

WHEN I FILL UP MY CAR WITH GAS THERE IS A STRONG GAS ODOR AROUND THE LEFT BACK SEAT ON THE INTERIOR AND AROUND THE LEFT REAR WHEEL ON THE OUTSIDE. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION I FOUND GAS LEAKING AROUND THE LEFT SENDING UNIT / PUMP. THIS IS A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW AS THE SENDING UNIT / PUMP IS MADE OF PLASTIC AND SERVERS A STRUCTURAL MEMBER TO SUSPEND THE UNIT IN PLACE. THE PRESENCE OF GAS FUMES IN THE INTERIOR IS A FIRE AND HUMAN HEALTH HAZARD AND THE GAS FUMES ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR IS AT MINIMUM A FIRE HAZARD. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON DEFECT ON MERCEDES CLS AND E-CLASS BETWEEN 2004 - 2008. THANKS FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER. *TR

I HAD FILLED MY CAR UP WITH GAS THE NIGHT BEFORE I NOTICED THE INCIDENT. THE NEXT DAY WHEN I WENT INSIDE OF MY VEHICLE IT HAD SPELLED HORRIBLY OF GAS, SO BAD I WAS GETTING LIGHT HEADED FROM THE FUMES AND HAD TO KEEP THE WINDOW'S OPEN TO AIR OUT. BUT THE SMELL HAS REMAINED FOR A WEEK NOW.. I LOCATED THE SOURCE OF THE SMELL COMING FROM THE REAR SEAT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, I REMOVED THE REAR SEAT CUSHION AND IT SMELLS AS IF IT WAS DOUSED WITH FUEL. EVEN WITH THE SEAT REMOVED THE SMELL REMAINS. I PROCEEDED TO LOOK ONLINE ABOUT COMMON ISSUES FOR THIS PROBLEM, I NOTICED A RECALL ON THE FUEL SENDER UNIT FOR PREVIOUS YEARS BUT NOT THE 2007 MODEL OF MY VEHICLE. I HAVE SEEN MANY PEOPLE COMPLAIN OF THIS EXACT ISSUE FOR THE 2007 MODEL. I CALLED THE MERCEDES DEALER ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEY SAY THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY MODEL EXCEPT FOR THE CAMSHAFT SELENOID. THIS IS A HIGHLY IMPORTANT ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO, I HAVE MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR AT TIMES. I HAVE MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALE...
