| Description of the problem | Hi i have 2007 mercedes cls550 79000 miles. I had the car for past 2 years are week ago after refiling the gas tank are strong gas smell appear inside the car and out side also. I was worry for my safety and i start reading about the same problems and current campaign and recall for mercedes e class w211 2003 to 2009 so i remove my rear passenger seat to locate the pump and the sending unit there was big puddle of raw gasoline inside the cabin around 200-300ml there was so much there the wires for the pump and sensors was under the fuel. I called the dealer they refuse to do recall for my car my car use the same gas tank and same pump and sending unit like e class from 2003 to 2008.. So if one part is defective(the gas tank) will be still defective if mercedes put in different model car. My car is not safe any more im scary to drive it any more . |
