Upon refuling my automobile full i could smell a strong odor of gas fumes.earlier that day i had an impact of my tire over a curb. Gas fumescould be smellednot so much on the outside of the auto but inside without abatement. Upon inspection by mercedes benz of stockton ca it was determined a fuel leak was present with the cushion that sits on top of the fuel system was soiled/sturated under the rear passenger seat of the car. Pictures taken suggest it had been was ongoingpossiblely for years.they suggested heat contributed to the unit-seal corrosion and its surroundings.it is not clear why my right rear impact with a curb brought this all to my attention.highly combustible situation that was clearly not detected witch is not completely understood the same day i have an impact to the right rear tire jumping a curb then going back over it to unlodge the tire & rocker molding from the curb & refuel i smell gas fumes.highly dangerous using plastic secure gas exchanges on something people sit on? has simularities in other drivers. Not sure why that day the seal (plastic) ruptured (at plastic lid)
When steering wheel is released even for a few seconds, vehicle pulls hard to the right and will put you in the ditch if you are not paying attention.the vehicle should track straight when the steering wheel is released.
My wife was driving this vehicle when suddenly the steering locked up and almost caused her to crash. We then took the vehicle to house of imports mercedes in buena park to inspect the vehicle. Apparently the steering column was broken and they could not explain how it happen. I did some research and several other people have file a complaint and mercedes denies the problem. This is a serious issue and i recommend a recall on there vehicles before someone gets killed. We were very fortunate it happened on a back road and not on freeway...updated 11/06/14 updated 7/15/2015

The contact owns a 2010 mercedes-benz s550. The contact stated that the vehicle was driven the night before and parked in the garage. The following morning, the passenger side suspension had fallen to the ground. The vehicle was towed to the dealer (mercedes-benz of the woodlands, 16917 interstate 45 south, woodland texas 77385) where it was diagnosed that the suspension had to be re-calibrated. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 82,000.
My s550 when driving would suddenly give a malfunction signal. I took it to the dealer, service replaced the 2 front struts. Now the call will give a signal, red letters, "do not move car" and the entire strut system will stop working and the car body is virtually sitting atop the tires. This after replacing the 2 front struts! the dealership seems to be at a loss and i can't even get them to return my calls. I don't think it is a strut problem but a computer glitch. I don't think it was necessary to pay for the strut replacement. I would like my car fixed or a refund.
