Fuel system 67,205 mi 6.3 yr in service
SUMMARY: BOTH FUEL SENDING UNITS LEAKING FROM THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. FUEL WAS PUDDLING UNDER THE REAR SEATS AND WAS DRIPPING ON TO THE GROUND. MY 6 YEAR OLD SON GOT IN THE CAR THIS MORNING AND COMPLAINED THAT IT SMELLED LIKE GAS. THIS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL AS AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE LEAKING FUEL CAME IN CONTACT WITH A HOT EXHAUST PIPE? A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM IN 2008, HOWEVER, THE RECALL DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM, IT ONLY DELAYS IT UNTIL YOU ARE OUT OF WARRANTY AND ARE FORCED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A COSTLY REPAIR. *TR
Fuel system mileage not reported 6.3 yr in service
ON 1/25/2012 I NOTICED A SMELL OF GAS UPON REFUELING MY VEHICLE. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE FIRST AS A DEFECTIVE FUEL SENDER AND AFTER REPLACING THE FUEL SENDER AS A DEFECTIVE GAS TANK. ESSENTIALLY FUEL WAS LEAKING FROM THE GAS TANK UNDER THE BACK SEAT AND POOLING UNDER THE BACK SEAT. THE SMELL OF GASOLINE VAPORS WAS EXTREMELY STRONG AND ALARMING. I REPLACED THE FUEL TANK AT MY OWN COST. *TR

Fuel / propulsion 62,251 mi 6.8 yr in service
I CAME OUTSIDE TO MY CAR AND COULD NOT GET IT TO START. THE CAR WOULD CRANK BUT WOULD NOT TURN ON. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE LOCAL MERCEDES DEALERSHIP (EURO MOTORCARS IN GERMANTOWN, MD). I WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS LEAKING AND THAT THE FUEL SHORTED THE CONNECTOR THAT TURNS THE FUEL PUMP ON. I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM ONLINE TO SEE IF IT WAS A COMMON ISSUE, AND IT SEEMS AS IF MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE AND MERCEDES ALREADY PERFORMED A RECALL ON THESE CARS TO TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM. I CONFIRMED WITH THE DEALER THAT THE RECALL WAS DONE TO MY VEHICLE AND IT WAS. *TR
