I have been reported to have a fuel leak.

Related to case# ea13003 i recently purchased a pre-owned 2008 e550 with 59k miles in december 2014. After fill-up, i noticed a faint fuel smell on the drivers rear area near the rear wheel. I have also opened up the access hatch and noticed fuel seeping from the sending unit. This seems to be the exact issues i have seen in regards to case #ea13003. This smell goes away after the tank level goes below 3/4. *tr

Just purchased this 2008 e550 with 100k miles on it. It was inspected and said to be a great maintained vehicle with no issues. I was driving on a city street and a red indicator light came on telling me stop car too low. Car was in sport mode with the vehicle raised button indicator light on. I drove back to my house and parked the vehicle, as it sat for an approximate 1 hour i noticed it drop significantly. I turned the vehicle on too see if it would raise again and the compressor was still working but no movement was happening. I looked it up online and there has been numerous accounts of these vehicles having the same issue. I just spent 20k on a vehicle that lasted me 7 days. The dealership stated that the fix could cost me a few thousand depending on what they find. This is ridiculous and something needs to be done for all owners of the airmatic systems. They are faulty and are too expensive to be going back and forth to the dealer to be serviced. Great vehicle with a huge flaw. *tr

Gas smell inside of the car. *tr

Most of the enclosed questions do not apply. The reason is that about a year ago we started smelling "gas" fumes in our garage from our car. My daughter's bedroom is above the garage. We asked the dealership to look into it and they said they did not see a problem. We started parking our car in the garage again and my daughter started getting sick she said from the gas fumes. It is now very apparent that this mercedes e550 is leaking fumes from the gas tank. This is very dangerous both from an explosive component and from a day to day health/safety issue because many bedrooms are above the garage like with my family. This needs to be looked at asap from nhtsa before someone dies. *tr

The car started stalling in jerk motions and stopped. It happened couple times and usually happens at traffic lights or traffic jam places where speed is below 20k. I was afraid this could have caused cars behind hit me. Later after completely stop of the engine, i got a engine check light and when starting driving , the car show lot of rpm but would not displace/move much. The car has 45k miles and currently with the dealer service department. This might be a transmission problem and i feel this mb of usa & nhtsa should investigate to get a recall and see if customer's get extended warranty for this issue. *tr
