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

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Fuel sender unit was recalled in 2008, only months before we purchased the vehicle as the 2nd owner. This was purchased as a certified pre owned vehicle. We have obtained a vehicle master inquiry from mercedes benz and there is nothing that makes it very clear that the original recall was ever handled properly. In 2013, we experienced s strong odor of fuel when the car was filled with gasoline. The car seemed to lag at takeoff, out of turns, and idled roughly. When the vehicle was brought in for service, we were told nothing of the recall, and were charged $1,015. 00 to replace the part (which was the exact part # of the faulty unit). Over the last few months, we noticed the smell again once in a while. The vehicle displayed the same signs as the previous time. At this point, the fuel smell is so strong, the vehicle is almost undriveable. When in the garage, you can smell the fuel through the wall into the closet (the closest room beyond the garage). We are in firm belief that we should be reimbursed by mercedes benz for charging us for repairs that should have been repaired under the recall notice, which our vin is included under, and we should now receive the repairs free of charge due to the recurring nature, original recall, handling of the situation, and ongoing investigation. This is no coincidence, and mb is attempting to sweep the situation under the rug. They are failing to stand behind their claims of "german engineering," excellent customer service, etc. Etc. This is not what you expect from a vehicle with a $94,000. 00 base price.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
