• Fuel leakage from the fuel tank investigation # EA13003

  The office of defects investigation (odi) opened this investigation on january 23, 2012 as pe12-001 based on 20 consumer reports in model year (my) 2003-2006 e55 amg vehicles.Based on new reports in other e-class vehicles, odi upgraded the investigation to engineering analysis (ea) 13-003 on march 15, 2013, and expanded the scope to all e-class vehicles through my 2008.The complainants alleged a strong odor of gasoline fuel both inside and outside of their vehicle, particularly after refilling the fuel tank.Many of the complainants noted that the odor subsided or went away after driving some distance thereby lowering the fuel level in the tank.Other owners reported they would only fill the tank to about three quarters full to avoid the odor altogether.Some complainants alleged fuel leaked from the fuel filter/sender, located on the top of the fuel tank on the drivers side, and collected on top of the tank.There were also allegations that the fuel leaks were associated with an emissions recall campaign (no. 2008020001) conducted by mercedes-benz usa, llc (mercedes) in 2008 on my 2003-2006 e-class and cls-class amg models.The issue in the recall involved small cracks in the pressurized outlet fitting of the fuel filter/sender.Amg vehicles are high performance models that operate at higher fuel pressure and use a different fuel filter/sender and fuel pump than non-amg models.Information on recall no. 2008020001 is available from the u.S. Environmental protection agency (epa) website at www.Epa.Gov.Odis investigation found various leak sources that are unrelated to the outlet fitting cited in the epa recall campaign.Through interviews with complainants, field inspections of complaint vehicles, and the collection and laboratory analysis of failed parts, three identifiable leak sources were found.The component parts and areas of the leaks involve the on-board diagnostic fuel tank pressure sensor (located on top of the fuel filter/sender), the outlet of the centrally mounted fuel tank fuel filling limiter valve, and the top of the fuel pump. These areas of leakage are located at the top of the fuel tank in unpressurized parts of the fuel system. When the tank is full, fuel can slowly weep/seep from micro-cracks in these components and may collect in cavities on top of the filter/sender, pump, or tank.Contrary to complainants allegations that fuel entered the inside of their vehicle under the rear seat bench, neither odi nor mercedes found a plausible way for this to occur.The fuel tank is located outside of the passenger compartment, attached to the underside of the vehicle.The service access ports for the fuel filter/sender (drivers side) and fuel pump (passengers side) are located under the rear seat bench, covered by a steel plate, sealed and bolted to the vehicle floor.When technicians service the fuel filter/sender, which has a regularly scheduled 60,000 mile service interval, and/or the fuel pump, the work is performed from inside the vehicle by working through the access ports.By letter dated september 4, 2014, mercedes has notified the agency that it will extend the original warranty coverage to 15 years and unlimited mileage on "covered fuel tank components" in e-class vehicles in my 2003-2009 and cls-class vehicles in my 2006-2011.The covered fuel tank components for the warranty extension include the fuel tank, fuel filter/sender, fuel pump, and all related gaskets/seals and retention rings.Odi is closing this investigation based on the manufacturers extend warranty of the affected fuel system components and in consideration that the nature of the leaks does not appear to present an un

The protective lacquer finish has failed causing wheel corrosion and rust from the inside out starting around the wheel hubs. This corrosion is like a metal cancer that is starting to deteriorate the properties of the metals and alloys. This is a high performance vehicle with high performance wheels. This mfg defect poses serious safety concerns and is a product liability that daimler north america corporation dba mercedes benz usa's has known about but yet has done nothing. This defect has affected several other mercedes benz vehicles of the amg performance line. Other models include slk 55 and slk 350 from 2000-2009. In addition to rust and corrosion forming from the inside out on some wheels, the bolts that hold the wheels to the hub assembly tend to rust as well furthering this safety issue. Note: vehicle is usually parked and covered in a climatically controlled garage which is not exposed to the usual elements of nature.

I just purchased the vehicle used from a dealership. I drove the vehicle 2000 miles home and i parked the car in my garage. I filled the gas tank prior to parking in my garage. The next morning i entered my garage and smelled a strong odor of gasoline. I could see gas underneath my car by the rear drivers side wheel and the odor of gasoline was so strong my eyes were watering and i couldn't breath well. I opened the garage door and moved the car outside(pushed it outside to avoid an explosion). The odor of gasoline is very strong by the driver's side rear compartment. I keep the fuel tank at half full or less to minimize the gasoline vaporous smell. I bought the car in chicago and drove it home to washington state. *tr

There is a strong smell of gasoline over 1/2 tank full, and frequent check engine lights on for an evap system leak. This is a known issue with these cars, and i am concerned to drive the vehicle with gasoline fumes coming inside the car and creating a fire hazard. Mercedes knows about this problem and needs to address it. *tr

Upon exiting the freeway and coming to a complete stop, vehicle was unable to accelerate as usual. Acceleration was very slow and without power. Upon looking at gauge cluster, the vehicle shifted itself into 5th gear it seems. Using the paddle shifter i then proceeded to downshift the transmission to 1st gear to pull away from stop. Car remained in automatic mode, but was not shifting out of gear. Cluster displays automatic comfort mode, but would not leave from what it seems 2nd gear. Stop engine and restart car, drive around and car will not shift out of gear. Upon searching the internet this is a very very common issue with all 7 speed automatic transmissions offered by mercedes benz. They have not assumed responsibility for a defect in part. Many have spent thousands of dollars diagnosing and repairing transmission related issues which revolve around this sub par transmission. If you search online for conductor plate, mercedes you will find countless people who have been dealing with transmission failure's due to this faulty part. This issue affects all mercedes 7 speed transmissions and as seen through online search is a world wide issue. I have read about this in the uk, australia, south america, as well as in the usa. *tr

I filled up the gas, took a short drive home, and parked in the garage. Next day, there is a strong gasoline smell in the garage as well as inside the car. This happened whenever i filled up the gas since then.

When i fill up the fuel tank to full, i smell a strong scent of gasoline inside the car. The fuel is leaking somewhere until i burn it down to about a 3/4 tank full. *tr

Strong fuel smell after fill up for over a year. Was brought to mercedes with no fix. Recent inspection resulted in finding a puddle of fuel under the rear seat on the fuel sending unit. Further research shows this is a ongoing problem for other e-class and has been reported to nhtsa, and current fixes if any has been failing and even owners having to pay out of pocket for something mercedes should be fixing under warranty due to this serious potential safety and fire issue. I have two toddlers who sit in this car everyday. *tr

After filling the car up with gasoline, there is a strong odor of gas in the cabin to the point where the windows have to be open to drive. *tr

Filled auto with fuel for first time and drove home, parked in the garage and started to smell gas fumes from driver's side passenger seat area. Learned that there is nhtsa action number: pe12001 pertaining to e55 which was previous year model to mine. Threat of fire under where my child sits is unacceptable. My early model e63 with same fuel issues should be covered. Please cover this model and model year as well! *tr
