| I recently noticed in my 2006 e500 4matic that after i put a full tank of gas in the car, there is a strong odor of gas coming from the rear driver side back seat. my car is garage kept and once i enter the garage in the morning to go to work, its very strong odor of gas. i am concerned that there is a gas leak of some sort. i have a 2 1/2 year old son that sits behind the driver side rear seat. this gas leak smell has happened to over several hundred eclass vehicles. | |||

| Fuel smell inside cabin after refilling to 100% capacity. only goes away once car has crossed 3/4 tank which is normally about 75 miles. there have been hundreds of complaints just like this, i have had it looked into as much as i could, but could not afford to have my mechanic pull the fuel tank to diagnose further. this needs to be looked into and fixed. normally mercedes is excellent when it comes to safety issues, i'd think they'd take this a bit more seriously. this investigation is related to action number pe12001 | |||

| The interior cabin of my 2006 mercedes benz e500 has a strong odor of gasoline, especially after refueling. recently, i get headaches and dizzy when driving, so i have to roll down the windows to get rid of the smell. i have addressed this problem to multiple mercedes benz service centers and they said that there is no danger but if i wanted the smell to go away, it would cost me appx $2000. i feel that this is a danger while driving because the fumes can cause the driver to pass out, or a spark in the car possibly from a short circuit or cigarette lighter could ignite in the car and cause an accident. after doing research regarding this matter, it seems it is the exact complaint of: reference nhtsa action number: pe12001. i feel that this engineering/manufacture defect should be addressed by mercedes benz and repaired due to its potential hazards it may cause on the highway. | |||
