Fuel gauge
I'm driving a 2014 e-class. every time I fill the tank to the top the gauge does not reach the full level (sometimes stay at half a tank, the tank should be full) and when the tank has less than a half it would sometimes shut down with no lights what so ever. have this happened to any one ?

Did you have any job on fuel tank done lately?
The saddle tanks have dual metering gauges and venturi pump to transfer fuel above the hump.
You have symptoms that 1 side is not working.

What to you mean reset everything to standard I already check the fuel pump its work perfectly and the two sensors are working tried to push the sensors with my finger it gave me a reading. I did check the codes it said "right side positive ground" or something like this don't really remember.
The code had something to do with the fuel pump thats why I replaced it yet it still showed after replacing the fuel pump.

You likely have 2 separate issues.
1 right side level sensor malfunction
2 the Venturi tube coming from the main pump is misaligned and is not sucking the fuel from right side.
My impression is that you tried to fix right side by replacing the left side, what lead to making left side bad as well.
