What owners wrote
Engine failed to start; would crank, but would not start. Key had to be returned to off position to stop cranking action. Maintenance supervisor claims teh fuel pump was at fault.
Strong raw fuel odor was noticed after fill up on multiple occasions. Investigation found that both the fuel pump housing and the fuel sender housings were cracked allowing raw fuel to leak out. This is exactly the same as the e class recall. This recall needs to be extended to include the c class as well as this car has an identical failure mode. I found this issue was previously reported, and would like to second this noted issue.
