Fuel smell in the rear of the car, it was checked by a indepent mechanic and the tank is leaking fuel. They said is the Fuel filter which is usually faulty in this model. It seems the car can catch fire according to the mechanig. No warnings of the leaking in the dashboard, only the strong smell.

I had a sudden smell of fuel when I looked outside the vehicle I noticed a leak under driver side back seat area under vehicle

Fuel Leakage from the top of the Fuel Tank, leaking underneath the back seat. I'm told there was a past campaign to fix these issues in the Sedan Mercedes Benz E350. The problem was found by the fumes in my garage where I park the vehicle. My smoke and carbon monoxide alarm kept going off inside my house, and I had to call the fire department to help me identify where the fumes were coming from. No warning lamps or messages on the vehicle are present. When I called the dealership they told me there hasn't been a recall on the vehicles. I have had a diagnostic with the dealership.

I have a 2014 E350 Coupe. It has a major fuel leak that is immensely dangerous and could cause immediate harm/death if I did not remove the seat and inspect the fuel line.

I notice a strong smell of gas inside my vehicle immensing from the back seat area of my car.and it's stronger everytime bi fill up the gas cap is placed back correctly and no top off ever

Very strong gas smell enters the cabin and surrounding exterior of the car after fill up. Seems to be a very common problem with this model and follows the same issues with previous years that were filed with the NHTSA and ultimately needed to be repaired by MB. The problem appears to be with the components of the fuel tank immediately under the rear seat. I am at the point where this has become a very dangerous hazard that consumers should know that the manufacturer should address and that consumers should not have to pay for repairs.

On my way to work lady Tuesday 11/1/22 just a few blocks from my AT&T office I started smelling fuel. I thought it was an lad car next to me. Looking at the rear mirror I noticed a line of fuel following me. By the time I pulled a side and shut down the vehicle I lost the full tank. The vehicle was towed and is still at Mercedes Benz of Plano, Plano, TX. The tech said the orings had gone bad and the hose deteriorated. It seems very similar to this recall https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/2014-mercedes-benz-e350-recalled-for-fuel-line-problem.html I called Mercedes USA and opened CASE [XXX]. No reply yet. Fortunate the car didn’t catch on fire or someone thrower a cigarette while I was driving they downtown.

Fuel smell really strong & a huge fuel leak started on 6/20/2022. The fuel smell was so strong inside the the car I couldn't stay in it. It started leaking before I fueled up my vehicle. Wen to the back of the car and notice a huge puddle of gas. I didn't know anything about this recall until today. I've owed the car for three years. I hope that Mercedes will fix this issue. Very dangerous.

Strong gas odor inside cabin,whenever gas tank is full I can smell gas for extended time period. May relate to faulty gas line under the back seat.

Severe gasoline leak smell inside and outside the vehicle. Smell is so bad as to make it impossible to stand next to the vehicle without gasping for air and watering eyes. Due to a fire hazard situation, car can not be parked inside the garage as there is a gas water heater installed in the vicinity. Fuel leak in the feed system has been a known problem in Mercedes vehicles in the past. A recall was even issued on E350, 2014 model (Recall # 15V792000). However, my vehicle was excluded from the recall on account of mfg. date not matching with the recall notice. But here we are same problem showing up in the vehicle even after so called fuel leak probe was closed. Took it to the dealer for diagnosis and repair was quoted to be $2297. That's an outrageous amount of money to repair a problem which should not have happened as part of regular wear and tear and is most certainly a fire-hazard and safety issue. My wife and kids ride in this vehicle several times a day and currently I can't let them in this car due to the fear of fire. I would kindly request you to reopen the fuel leak matter with Mercedes and look into the matter while I seek a reimbursement of the repair cost from Mercedes Corporate.

FUEL SMELLS AND LEAKS SIMILAR TO EARLIER MODELS. MERCEDES CLAIMS THIS TO BE NORMAL IF THE TANK IS OVERFILLED WHEN I CALLED BUT DON'T REMEMBER THE NAME OF THE PERSON.
