Description of the problem	Reference nhtsa action number pe12001. 1st incident (2007), heavy fuel smell inside my car, noticed a lot of gas inside car underneath rear seats, and a lot of gas leaking underneath driver side rear tire and how fuel was leaking on exhaust by rear tire. Fletcher jones mercedes dealership las vegas fixed it under warranty via replaced fuel pump. 2nd incident (2009), exact same thing, dealer replaced fuel pump and this time also installed entire new fuel tank. 3rd incident (march 2012), same thing as 1st incident. This time i took it to an independent shop and they showed me the defective leaking fuel pump. I paid out of pocket to have it fixed this 3rd time. My 2005 e55 amg is a station wagon, with 2 rear seat child seats, right over the leaking fuel pump and leaked fuel. It is scary to know that if the fuel ever leaked on the exhaust while i am driving with my wife and twin 6 years son and daughter that there could be a fire... God forbid if my wife was driving my car and kids if it ever happened. That is why she is not allowed to drive my car. I can assure you that there are many other e class owners that had and/or am having the exact same problem. *js
