• Recall R/2005/056 [UK]: Brake pedal may require more effort than expected
  In isolated cases it is possible for vibrations within the vehicle to in turn vibrate the wiring harness connected to the sensotronic brake control unit. This causes the internal contacts within the unit to suffer abrasion and subsequent resistance increase. The resultant affect is that more effort will be required on the brake pedal to stop the vehicle.
  recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and mount an additional bracket to the electrical harness to prevent relative movement.

• Recall 2005094 [Canada]: Brakes
  On certain vehicles, the sensotronic brake control (sbc) unit may contain a pump piston which is out of permissible tolerances. Also, vibrations within the electrical connector may cause a loss of electrical continuity. Both conditions may result in the system reverting to hydraulic function mode. A loss of brake power assist would result in increased pedal effort and extended stopping distance. Correction: dealers will inspect and, if required, replace the sbc pump unit.

There's strong gasoline odor from my vehicle whenever i refuel, particular after it's garaged. The smell seems to go away once i used up 1/3 or 1/2 tank. Recently the smell seems to be stronger. I can smell it even when it's not garaged. *tr

Had to replace the fuel pump now i have to replace the fuel tank. Can not fill my fuel tank if so the fuel smell fills my home because i park in the garage. Took it to my mechanic and was told to watch for flames it could cause serious problems. Please help with this issue. *tr

My e 320 has gas smell in my garage after refueling since june/2012. The smell is getting even stronger for last a few months. *tr

After refueling and filling the fuel tank, a strong odor of gasoline emits from the outside of the car and inside the car. After checking online, previous complaints of fuel level sending unit seal failure causing pooling of gasoline around the sending unit next to electrical connectors and directly under the left rear passenger seat. I removed the rear seat and access panel to the sending unit and discovered pooled gasoline around the sending unit. The sending unit appeared tight. I did not notice any cuts or failure to the hose, just around the sending unit itself. My local mercedes dealer claimed there are no recalls for this condition, even though there appear to be many complaints. The dealer also told me i would have to bring my car in to be inspected by a mechanic to truly diagnose the issue. *tr

The srs, (supplemental restraint system) or "air bag" light illuminated, caused by the srscontrol unit experiencing an internal electrical fault. The fault displayed code 9120. Mercedes vehicles of this year and model are known to have air bag wiring harness issues. Even though my issue wasn't the harness itself, it presents a flaw resulting in a safety and state inspection issue. *tr

I currently drive a 2004 mercedes e500 4matic with 78,000 miles currently on it. Recently, after refueling the car i have noticed a very strong odor of gasoline both inside and outside of the car. After having the same issue after filling my tank about 3 times i decided to do some research on the issue. With not much searching i found a flood of complaints from mercedes owners claiming the exact same issues. From what i have gathered it sounds like its a safety concern and is a design flaw. *tr

I came out to my garage one morning to find a my car wreaking of fuel. I decided to drive the car around for a few to see if it the pungent odor would go dissipate altogether. During this time, i took it to my mechanic to let him do a quick once-over before he left for the day. He stated that there was fuel leaking onto my exhaust. Being that he didn't have the tools and whatnot to replace the sending unit, i had it towed to mercedes benz. I was not going to let my girlfriend drive the car to the dealership. No way, no how. Skyland automotive(my local mecedes benz dealership) found a puddle of fuel under my back seat. They replaced the fuel sending unit partially under my third party warranty. I, however, had to pay roughly $500 out of pocket. I have heard of this issue happening on many w211 e class cars, it has happened to some more than once. I'm at 7x,xxx miles now and definitely don't want to have to go through this again. Fuel leaking onto the ground is bad enough, but leaking onto my exhaust isn't to be tolerated. It's downright dangerous. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.S.C. 552(b)(6). *tr

After fueling up completely, there was a strong raw gasoline smell in my garage. It was coming from the rear driver's side wheel well. This is the opposite side of where the fuel fill cap is! There were no visible puddles on my floor, but it smelled as if there should be. The problem went away for a little bit, however, it does this now every time i fill up the car and it is hot outside. *tr

Transmission problems, vehicle would not shift out of park position to reverse or drive. *bf the plastic piece attached to the fender was loose and the tire was rubbing the plastic. There was an oil leak which had come from the pan in the engine. *sc when the consumer went to change the tire, he discovered there was no spare tire in the vehicle.
