Vehicle exhibiting same characteristics of fuel leak from gas tank as other vehicle models involved in nhtsa investigation ea13-003. Strong fuel odor originating from left rear section of the vehicle behind left rear wheel after fill-up. Only occurs after fill-up with full tank of gas, i only notice when stationary because i am outside of the vehicle. The nhtsa investigation ea13-003 needs to be expanded to include my model vehicle, c55 amg. Also, please see this mbworld.Com thread: https://mbworld.Org/forums/c32-amg-c55-amg-w203/712997-c55-smells-like-gas-after-i-fill-up.Html

I purchased a second 2005 amg c55 and once again, experienced fuel leaking at top of fuel sending unit. This is identical to the issue found in nhtsa action number : ea13003. Ea13003 should be expanded to 2005 & 2006 c55 amg's the problem is very dangerous as gasoline pools at the top of the sending unit after filling the gas tank. Said pooling is beneath the rear passenger seat.

CrashNoN 1 InjuredNone20080120

I am very concerned that the air bag release mechanism; of my car a 2005 mercedes benz c55 amg, is defective. I was involved in 2 accidents, 1st a right frontal with severe damage needing $26,000 in repairs, and the 2nd a left frontal that caused so much damage that my insurer may total the vehicle. The 2nd accident caused multiple fractures in my neck vertebrae and could have been fatal or left me quadriplegic but due to multiple neurosurgeries by the expert in the field, i survived. In neither accident did the air bags deploy and i am strongly concerned that the release mechanism is defective. The vehicle is still at the repair yard awaiting a decision to repair or salvage(no work has been done yet) since the 2nd accident. *tr
