THE CAR HAS EXPERIENCED A SIGNIFICANT AND DRAMATIC FUEL LEAK. THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR WAS FILLED WITH FUMES, THE TRUNK OF THE CAR WAS FILLED WITH FUMES. THE CAR WAS REPAIRED BY A MERCEDES BENZ DEALER, BUT THE SMELL RETURNED WITHIN A WEEK. SENDING UNITS, GAS TANK PUMPS WERE REPLACED. *TR
A STRONG FUEL ODOR IS PRESENT INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE AFTER A FULL FILL-UP. THE ODOR DISSIPATES AFTER ABOUT 1/8 OF A TANK OF GASOLINE IS CONSUMED. THESE SYMPTOMS RELIABLY REOCCUR EACH TIME THE FUEL TANK IS COMPLETELY REFILLED. THE ODOR IS NOT PRESENT AS LONG AS THE TANK IS NOT FILLED PAST 7/8 CAPACITY. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED BY A MERCEDES-BENZ DEALERSHIP AND NO PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. CURRENT MILEAGE IS APPROXIMATELY 72,500. *TR
THE ELECTRONIC KEYLESS-GO SYSTEM INTERMITTENTLY DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THAT THE KEY IS PRESENT. THE ISSUE WAS FIRST NOTICED IN 2008 AND BROUGHT TO THE DEALERS ATTENTION WITHIN MONTHS OF PURCHASE WHEN THE REAR TAILGATE WOULD NOT CLOSE. REPEATED TRIPS TO THE DEALER TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE DID NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE. THE LATCHES, THE SWITCHES, AND THE BATTERIES IN THE KEYS HAVE ALL BEEN REPLACED BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. IN MARCH 2013 THE KEYLESS-GO SYSTEM STARTED INDICATING "NO KEY WAS DETECTED" WHEN THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. ON MARCH 5, 2013 THE DASH…

A STRONG FUEL SMELL WAS NOTICED IN THE PASSENGER CABIN AND OUTSIDE THE CAR AFTER FILLING THE TANK. ON 5/10/11, THE DEALER REPLACED THE DRIVER SIDE SENDER UNIT P/N 2114703894 AND SEAL RING P/N 2114710579. ON 9/26/12, THE SAME STRONG FUEL SMELL WAS NOTICED IN THE CABIN (AGAIN). THE DEALER REPLACED THE SAME EXACT TWO PARTS ON THE DRIVER (LEFT) SIDE. THE SENDER UNITS ARE ACCESSED FROM UNDER THE BACK SEAT, WHICH PUTS THE OVERWHELMING FUMES IN THE CABIN. I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE W211 MODELS, WHICH IS A VERY DANGEROUS SIT…
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 MERCEDES BENZ E63. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE BEGAN TO SMELL GASOLINE IN THE CABIN OF HIS VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND WAS INSTRUCTED NOT TO ADD FUEL TO ITS CAPACITY. THE CONTACT CONTINUED TO SMELL GASOLINE AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. HE WAS INFORMED THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE TANK AND IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 84,000.
I PURCHASED A 2008 E63 MERCEDES BENZ IN DECEMBER 2013. SINCE THE DATE OF PURCHASE I HAVE NOTICED A STRONG ODOR AND SMELL OF GASOLINE UPON FUELING THE AUTOMOBILE(BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE). THIS ODOR PROGRESSIVELY GOT STRONGER UNTIL I WAS UNABLE TO CLOSE MY GARAGE DUE TO THE FUMES AND THE FEAR FOR MY SAFETY. I TOOK THE CAR TO A MERCEDES BENZ DEALER (LUCKILY) TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT PRIOR TO A ROAD TRIP ON 7/2/2014 AND IT WAS DETERMINED THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE FUEL TANK AND SENDING UNIT (S). THE TECHNICIANS AT THE MERCEDES BENZ DEALER…
ON JULY 30TH, 2014 I FUELED MY 2008 MERCEDES E63 AMG IN THE SAME MANNER AS I HAVE FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. WHEN I PARKED MY VEHICLE IN THE GARAGE AND CLOSED THE DOOR I NOTICED A FAINT ODOR OF GASOLINE. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST THE EXHAUST FUME BUILT UP IN THE ENCLOSED ENVIRONMENT. THE NEXT DAY WHEN I CHECKED, THERE WAS AN OVERWHELMING ODOR OF GASOLINE. FUMES WERE SO STRONG I COULD CLEARLY SMELL IT FROM MY FLOOR APARTMENT. LUCKILY MY NEIGHBOR WERE AWAY ON VACATION. THE SMELL OUTSIDE THE ENTRY WAY INTO THE GROWERS WAS SO STRONG IT STU…
AFTER REFUELING MY CAR'S GAS TANK I BEGAN TO NOTICE SOME SORT OF GAS LEAKAGE. IT'S ESPECIALLY PRONOUNCED WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED IN THE GARAGE SINCE THE FUME IS UNMISTAKABLE. THERE IS APPARENTLY A FUEL LEAKAGE NEAR THE REAR TIRE (DRIVER'S SIDE). I'M CONCERNED THAT IF THERE WERE ANYTHING IN THE GARAGE THAT IS IGNITED IT WOULD CAUSE SOME TERRIBLE INCIDENT. AFTER I BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE I FOUND OUT THAT THE FUEL SENDER UNIT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH A RELATED GASKET. THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM SHOULD NOT EXPERIENCE FAILURE AT THIS LOW …
