Issue ID	1141962
Internal NHTSA #	10667611
Manufacurer	Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC.
Brand	MERCEDES BENZ
Model	E320
Model Year	2005
File date	07/01/13
Component	FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	1. Fueling the vehicle- after fueling the vehicle and filling up the tank, a very very strong odor of gasoline/fumes stays in the cabin of the vehicle days or until gas tank drops down to under half a tank. 2. Fumes are so strong, causes occupants headaches and nausea 3. Vehicle stopped on idle- when coming to a complete stop, vehicle begins to choke, as if its about to turn off. Need to put the car on neutral and press the accelerator to stop the car from choking. 4. Turning- when making turns- the vehicle will randomly choke as if not receiving any gas, and as if its about to turn off. The power steering also goes inactive, leaving it almost impossible to make the turn. This is very dangerous especially on left hand turns at intersections. I have stopped turning in front of oncoming vehicles because i do not trust the vehicles response. I cannot predict when these episodes of non-response to acceleration will occur.
