Description of the problem	Takata recall ok i bought my wife the 04 e55 amg mercedes about 3 years ago shortly after buying the car we started to notice a faint fuel smell occasionally, so within the past the three years the fuel smell has gotten significantly worse and worse on the inside of the car causing my wife to not want to drive the vehicle in fear of a fuel system related fire with my kids in the vehicle, i do not blame her. So i started driving the car myself within the last few weeks i filled the tank up on 2 separate occasion and it has the first time the gas smell was so bad i had a hard time driving the car myself but this last time, it drained over half of the gasoline into the floor of my garage. Not only making the floor of my garage gasoline covered miss but making the entire car smells like gasoline my garage smell like gasoline. As well as the inside of my house. Once this had happened i looked into trying to fix the problem myself and found that the wiring going to the fuel fuel pump system had burned a hole from the outside of the tank into the gas tank causing the leak. (hot enough wires to burn though the gas tank lid very concerning if i do say so myself... And this gas station is only 4 minutes from my house and this was under no hard driving conditions just semi- straight shot from the gas station to the house hopefully they can remedy this problem because it is rather concerning to know that these car will leak gas not only inside the car but outside putting our family and others at risk
