2010 Mercedes-Benz GLK350 Fuel system Problems

“Very strong smelling fuel odor after everytime I fill it up with fuel. Yesterday 06/20/16 it starting leaking fuel. This has been going on since I bought it in november 2015. Car could be stationary or in motion and the smell of fuel is always there. Smells the worst when I fill it up. The actual leak prompted me to file this complaint.”

“Every time I fill up my mercedes glk 350 with fuel there is a very strong odor of fuel in my garage after I park the car. There is no visible leak of fuel on the garage floor or notification of any issue on the dashboard. The strong fuel order goes away after driving the car and burning off a gallon or so. This is a serious safety and health issue that started few weeks ago and is of a big concern to me and to my family.”

“Excessive fuel smell, turns out it's the fuel tank, was informed plastic fuel tank seam is splitting and is now a fire/safety issue. Informed that mercedes is aware of the problem and replaced many during warranty period, but now since my warranty is over this safety repair will cost me in excess of 3,000.00. This is a fire hazard and big time safety issue that the NHTSA needs to look into.”

“Fuel leaking/dripping after filling up with gas. The smell of gas prompted me to look under the vehicle and it was then that I saw a small pool of gas on the driveway. The leaking stopped when the tank was less than full and recurred when filling the gas tank. No damage yet, going to the dealer for their assesment.”

“On 4/24/16, a toyota rear ended me and pushed me into the vehicle in front of me. The damage would have been repairable until my car caught on fire. It looked like it started in the inside above the gas tank area, but the man working at the impound lot the next day said it looked electrical. Either way, the impact should not cause a mercedes to catch on fire. I was on a city street stopped at a stoplight.”
