2006 Mercedes benz CLS55 Fuel Propulsion System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	972520
Internal NHTSA #	10504886
Manufacurer	Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC.
Brand	MERCEDES BENZ
Model	CLS55
Model Year	2006
File date	15/10/08
Component	FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Strong fuel odor inside cabin, and fuel leak on ground outside. Repaired twice under warranty. First repair failed; second repair temporarily successful. Since second repair, fuel odor faint but noticeable, sporadic, but with no fuel leak visible on ground outside. Usually occurs when car is started after sitting in the sun for some time in hot weather, after a recent refueling. Incidence about once monthly (car is usually not parked outside). The car is no longer under any warranty. Independent mechanic showed me the (original) plastic part over the fuel tank under the left rear seat which showed slight fuel seepage (the replaced-under-warranty plastic part under the right rear seat still looks new and unaffected). In my opinion, this matter is related to the 2003-2008 mercedes-benz e-class fuel odor incidents under current (recently upgraded) nhtsa investigation.
