Description of the problem	First incident occurred on 1/21/13 when my mercedes smelled like it was leaking gas in garage. Fumes were so bad that we parked it outside as we were leaving for trip. I was afraid it could catch fire. I had noticed a gas smell once before. About six months prior. It went away and the car had been in shop and nothing noted. So i did not worry. Got back from trip and took it in. Both the right and left fuel sending units were replaced. On the left a seal ring, cable harness and a bracket were replaced. The right side a seal ring was done with the unit. I had oil leaking from engine so they replaced a campaign, engine wiring, right camshaft solenoid, and oilcentrifuge. They kept my car a week as i have had many problems and they wanted to make it right well it turned into a nightmare. Car went back in as oil had leaked on exhaust and car smelled on fire. They degreased it and i got it back. Now the worst of this. The replaced fuel sending unit was defective. I was on freeway when my car just stops running while driving it. I almost got hit at 60 mph and my car sputters once than stalls as i try to roll off freeway. I was sure my engine seized. It turns out the new fuel sending unit had a defective float. I ran out of gas and almost died because of it. There are many complaints on the internet about this fuel propulsion system. I am under warranty so mine is replaced for free. The problem is the gas fumes put you at risk for a fire. I would think for me it was at least six months. I was told the fuel was leaking behind my back seat. I am sure that is not safe. Then the replacement almost kills me. Very unhappy as i had intended to keep this car but am afraid to do so. Fyi my transmission body has been replaced too.
