| Description of the problem | My vehicle is a 2006 mb cls55. After filling up my vehicle with fuel, i noticed a leak in my garage and a strong odor coming from inside the car both while running and while shut off. I brought my vehicle to an independent mechanic and verified that both fuel pumps are leaking from the top. These leaks result in a pool of fuel directly under the rear seats. I received a $2,200 dollar verbal quote from a dealership to replace both fuel pumps. They advised that this was a common problem with all 55 series vehicles. |
