FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

15 complaints

The fuel tank has a leak from a defect in the plastic, and my local Mercedes dealership is unwilling to honor the Warranty Coverage Extension that covered fuel tank components to replace the fuel tank.

Oct 15, 2025

I AM REFERENCING ACTION # PE12001. AFTER EACH OF MY LAST TWO FUEL FILLLINGS, THE CAR IS EMITTING A VERY STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE FROM THE BACK SEAT & TRUNK COMPARTMENT. I PARK MY CAR IN MY GARAGE AND THE SMELL IS STRONG ENOUGH THAT I CAN SMELL IT IN MY HOME. I AM EXTREMELY FEARFUL THAT THERE WILL BE A FIRE. I DO NOT DESIRE TO PARK MY CAR OUTSIDE, BUT I BELIEVE THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO KEEP IN GARAGE. I HAVE LOST CONFIDENCE IN MY CAR FEARING THAT EVEN DRIVING IT AROUND TOWN COULD POSE A DANGER TO ME AND MY PASSENGERS.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

7 complaints

MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED THE 2007 CLS550 ABOUT SEPTEMBER 2015. WE NOTICED WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GAS, WE WOULD HAVE GAS FUMES IN THE VEHICLE SPECIFICALLY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR INSIDE AND OUTSIDE. THE FUMES WERE LIGHT AND WOULD DISSIPATE ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF GAS IN THE TANK TO ABOUT THREE-QUARTERS TANK. LAST WEEK WE FILLED THE TANK AND THE SMALL IS NOW STRONGER AND HAS YET TO DISSIPATE ALTHOUGH WE HAVE A QUARTER TANK OF GAS REMAINING. I CHECKED FOR ANY RECALLS ON THIS SINCE WE HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE VEHICLE HAVING BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS, BUT FIND WE DO NOT. THIS ONLINE SEARCH DID NOT REVEAL ANY RECALLS FOR THE GAS FUMES, BUT I NOTED THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM FOR THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE. HAVE ANY PEOPLE DIED FROM THIS, ANY FIRES, ACCIDENTS AS A RESULT? WE HAVE NOT YET, BUT WILL BE TAKING OUR VEHICLE IN FOR EVALUATION OF THE PROBLEM AND WOULD BE ABLE TO PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION OF THE RESULTS IN THE FUTURE. GIVEN THE NAME, I AM SURPRISED MERCEDES IS NOT STEPPING UP HERE! *TR

Jan 26, 2017

I FILLED MY CAR UP SUNDAY AND PARKED IT IN THE GARAGE, THE FOLLOWING MORNING THERE WAS A STRONG FUEL SMELL THAT PERMEATED THE GARAGE AND ALL AROUND THE CAR. I LOOKED FOR LEAKS FOUND NONE. THE SMELL WAS COMING FROM UNDER THE SEAT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR. I REVIEWED SOME ONLINE FORUMS AND NOTICED THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON OCCURENCE WITH THESE VEHICLES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND A SAFTEY HAZARD. *TR

Aug 01, 2014

WHEN I FILL MY VEHICLE UP WITH GAS, THE FUMES FILL UP MY CAR AND MY GARAGE. AFTER I DRIVE MY CAR AND THE GAS GOES DOWN TO 3/4 A TANK, THE FUMES RESIDE. I CAN ONLY FILL MY CAR UP 3/4 OF A WAY WITHOUT THE FUMES ENTERING MY CAR. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REMOVED THE BACK SEAT AND SAW THAT THE GAS WAS FILLING UP UNDER THE SEAT. THEY FOUND A LEAK AT THE FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT. THE SENDING UNIT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

Feb 05, 2014

WHEN I FILL UP MY CAR WITH GAS THERE IS A STRONG GAS ODOR AROUND THE LEFT BACK SEAT ON THE INTERIOR AND AROUND THE LEFT REAR WHEEL ON THE OUTSIDE. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION I FOUND GAS LEAKING AROUND THE LEFT SENDING UNIT / PUMP. THIS IS A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW AS THE SENDING UNIT / PUMP IS MADE OF PLASTIC AND SERVERS A STRUCTURAL MEMBER TO SUSPEND THE UNIT IN PLACE. THE PRESENCE OF GAS FUMES IN THE INTERIOR IS A FIRE AND HUMAN HEALTH HAZARD AND THE GAS FUMES ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR IS AT MINIMUM A FIRE HAZARD. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON DEFECT ON MERCEDES CLS AND E-CLASS BETWEEN 2004 - 2008. THANKS FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER. *TR

Dec 16, 2013

I HAD FILLED MY CAR UP WITH GAS THE NIGHT BEFORE I NOTICED THE INCIDENT. THE NEXT DAY WHEN I WENT INSIDE OF MY VEHICLE IT HAD SPELLED HORRIBLY OF GAS, SO BAD I WAS GETTING LIGHT HEADED FROM THE FUMES AND HAD TO KEEP THE WINDOW'S OPEN TO AIR OUT. BUT THE SMELL HAS REMAINED FOR A WEEK NOW.. I LOCATED THE SOURCE OF THE SMELL COMING FROM THE REAR SEAT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, I REMOVED THE REAR SEAT CUSHION AND IT SMELLS AS IF IT WAS DOUSED WITH FUEL. EVEN WITH THE SEAT REMOVED THE SMELL REMAINS. I PROCEEDED TO LOOK ONLINE ABOUT COMMON ISSUES FOR THIS PROBLEM, I NOTICED A RECALL ON THE FUEL SENDER UNIT FOR PREVIOUS YEARS BUT NOT THE 2007 MODEL OF MY VEHICLE. I HAVE SEEN MANY PEOPLE COMPLAIN OF THIS EXACT ISSUE FOR THE 2007 MODEL. I CALLED THE MERCEDES DEALER ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEY SAY THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY MODEL EXCEPT FOR THE CAMSHAFT SELENOID. THIS IS A HIGHLY IMPORTANT ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO, I HAVE MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR AT TIMES. I HAVE MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER TO FURTHER LOOK INTO MY PROBLEM BUT I THINK THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND REPORTED AS A RECALL SINCE OTHERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.

BOUGHT THIS CERTIFIED CLS550 FROM KEYES EUROPEAN MERCEDES IN VAN NUYS,CA ON 11/23/2009 WITH 42000 MILES AS SOON AS I GOT THE CAR HOME I NOTICED THE FAN WAS OVERLY LOUD AND MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS READING 110. CALLED DEALERSHIP THEY SAID FAN MOTOR ON THESE CARS ARE ALL EXTREMELY LOUD AND TEMP. SOUNDED OKAY. TWO WEEKS LATER I WAS DRIVING WHEN I WAS ALERTED TO TURN OFF ENGINE IMMEDIATELY DUE TO CAR SERIOUSLY OVERHEATING. DEALER SAID IT WAS THE THERMOSTAT BAD ON CAR. ALSO BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE TRANSMISSION SINCE I BOUGHT CAR. KEEP IN MIND I HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR ABOUT 47 DAYS NOW. THE SAME TIME THERMOSTAT WAS REPLACED THEY SAID A COMPONENT IN THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD AND REPLACED IT. HAVE HAD MY CAR BACK FOR 4 DAYS NOW AND THE TRANSMISSION NO LONGER SLIPS, BUT IS JERKING HARD INTO BEGINNING GEARS. WILL BE TAKING CAR BACK TO BE CHECKED AGAIN! *TR

POWER TRAIN

1 complaint

DEFECTIVE INTERNAL SPEED SENSOR DOES NOT SEND SIGNAL TO TCM(TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE) CAUSING LOSS OF POWER WHILE MOVING. THE ONLY WAY TO GET CAR GOING AGAIN IS TO SHUT OFF CAR AND RESTART HOPING IT WILL RESET. IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN IN CONSTRUCTION ZONE WITH NOWHERE TO PULL OVER, MAY BE DEADLY.

DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND SUDDENLY VEHICLE JERKED AND LOSSES ALL POWER. ENGINE REVS BUT DOESN'T MOVE. THIS CAN BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. TRANSMISSION WENT INTO 'LIMP' MODE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT LIT. MANY OTHER MERCEDES OWNERS REPORTING SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 722.9 TRANSMISSION VALVEBODY, CONDUCTOR PLATE, AND/OR TCM. THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AS COUNTLESS OTHER PEOPLE ARE REPORTING THIS SAME ISSUE FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW.

1 complaint

NOTE THAT THE VEHICLE ON HAS 43,733 MILES - CABIN INTERIOR STRONG LIVE FUEL FUMES - CONSTANT GAS FUMES ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAR CABIN. NOTE THAT THE CAR WAS STATIONARY AT MY RESIDENCE PARKING. I DID NOT KNOW WHERE WERE THE FUMES COMING FROM AT THE TIME. GOT A HEADACHE JUST FOR THE MOMENT I WAS TRYING TO DETERMINED WHERE WERE THE FUMES COMING FROM. THIS IS CURRENTLY FOR ALL DRIVERS AND OWNERS A VERY HAZARDOUS DANGEROUS CONDITION TO ALL EXTREMES, VERY HIGH RISK FROM IGNITION FROM STATIC OR ELECTRICAL, DUE TO WIRE HARDNESS IN THE AREA. VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND TOOK IT TO MERCEDES BENZ DEALER AND FOUND THE FOLLOWING: LEAKAGE IN FUEL SYSTEM. REPLACED FUEL TANK FUEL TANK DRAIN/FILL OBSERVED ACCIDENT PREVENTION REGULATION "12 WL08" FUEL TANK AND FUEL FOR STORAGEBRING OBSERVE ACCIDENT PREVENTION REGULATION "12 WL08" PERFORMED BY MERCEDES-BENZ OF NEW ORLEANS. FUEL TANK LEAKING IN THE INTERIOR WAS FOUND / WAS DRAINED & REFILLED AND FUEL TANK REPLACED. THIS WAS COVER UNDER A NEW SETTLEMENT WITH MERCEDES BENZ AND NHTSA. I THINK THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL WHEN IT RELATES TO SAFETY FACTORS.

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY TANK WITH GASOLINE, ONCE I PARK IN THE GARAGE, THE GARAGE IS FILLED WITH STRONG GAS FUMES FROM MY CAR. I CHECKED FOR LEAKS UNDER THE CAR AND FOUND NOTHING. I HAVE TO RAISE THE GARAGE DOOR TO LET THE FUMES OUT, DUE TO GETTING LIGHTHEADED FROM THE FUMES. THE FUMES REMAIN WITH THE CAR FOR 7-10 DAYS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS. THIS PROBLEM IS A DANGER TO MY FAMILY'S HEALTH!!!! SURELY, THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM! 2ND ISSUE: I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND THE FAN KEPT RUNNING. I NOTICED THAT THE FAN WAS SO LOUD THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS ABOUT TO BLOW UP. BLACK SMOKE CAME FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I WENT ON INTO THE BUILDING TO MY MEETING FOR AN HOUR. WHEN I CAME BACK OUTSIDE, THE FAN WAS STILL GOING AND STILL LOUD. THIS HAD NEVER HAPPENED IN THE FIVE YEARS THAT I HAD THE CAR. THE CAR WOULD NOT START. I HAD TO CALL SOMEONE TO BOOST IT OFF TO START. I THEN WENT TO THE SHOP TO CHECK TO SEE IF I HAD BATTERY OR STARTER PROBLEMS. NO PROBLEMS FOUND IN EITHER. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE SINCE THEN. I AM AFRAID THAT THE CAR WILL CATCH FIRE WITH ME IN IT OR MY FAMILY OR FRIENDS. 3RD ISSUE I WAS DRIVING ALONG AND THE DASHBOARD READ OUT IN RED TO STOP THE CAR ..VEHICLE IS TOO LOW... WHEN STOPPED, I NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR WAS LOW AND THE DRIVER SIDE IS RAISED HIGH. I HAVE TO SIT THERE FOR A FEW MINUTES UNTIL THE RED LIGHTS WENT OUT. THIS HAPPENS OFTEN. 4TH TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT STAYS ON. I TOOK IT TO CHECK ON PRESSURE, IT WAS OK. I DID NOT NEED NEW TIRES EITHER. THE YELLOW LIGHT STAYS ON AND THIS WEEK THE RED LIGHT POPPED ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. 5TH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON AND MECHANIC CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. 6TH STEERING SYSTEM LOUD POPPING NOISE WHEN I BACK UP OR TURN STEERING WHEEL. IT USED TO BE RANDOM BUT NOW IT IS EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR.

I HAVE A 2007 MERCEDES CLS 550. MY HEADREST HAVE DEPLOYED FOR SOME REASON ON AT LEAST FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS. WHEN THE HEADREST DEPLOYS IT HITS ME IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD. IT HAS HAPPENED 2X WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND 2X WHILE BACKING UP. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPAIRED THE HEADREST ON AT LEAST FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS. INCLUDING KEEPING THE VEHICLE FOR ALMOST A MONTH AND HALF. THAT REPAIR WAS JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO. LAST WEEK WHILE DRIVING ON THE FWY, THE HEADREST DEPLOYED AGAIN FOR NO REASON AND STRUCK ME IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECT AND A SAFETY CONCERN. IN ADDITION, MY VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL STARTED PEELING A YEAR AGO. THIS PAINT COMES OFF ON MY HANDS AND CAN END UP IN MY EYES, NOSE AND MOUTH. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE CONTENTS OF THE PAINT. MERCEDES REFUSES TO REPLACE MY STEERING WHEEL OR REPAIR IT. WHEN THE PEELING FIRST OCCURRED THE DEALERSHIP ORDERED ME A NEW STEERING WHEEL AND SAID THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH SOME OF THE MODELS. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE STEERING WHEEL INSTALLED, AFTER THE DEALERSHIP HAD ORDERED A NEW ONE, THEY THEN SAID THAT I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND MERCEDES REFUSED TO COVER THE COST. MY VEHICLE WAS STARMARKED AND I HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 100,000 MILES. AT THE TIME OF THE PEELING MY VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 54,000 MILES. I AM NOT SURE OF THE CONTENTS OF THE PAINT. HOWEVER, I DON'T FEEL THAT THE STEERING WHEEL SHOULD BE PEELING AND THE CONTENTS COMING OFF ON MY HANDS. *TR
