| Description of the problem | My 2007 mercedes benz c230 sport continually releases strong gasoline smell after each gas tank fill-up. This occurred consistently for the last four months. I've taken my car to the mercedes benz dealership local in my area only for them to say there is no reported recall or the cost to fix this matter is significantly costly. After researching this matter, i discovered there is a reasonable number of owners with a similar model and year that have reported the same serious risk of gasoline smell. Embedded is a link to the online site where these reportings are captured. Http://m. Carcomplaints. Com/mercedes-benz/c230/2007/fuel_system/fuel_propulsion_system. Shtml due to the nature and probable serious hazard of fumes exposure within the family household let alone other significant health risk, i'm requesting immediate assistance from the nhtsa to bring this matter to a resolve. According to public data, mercedes benz has recall numerous other vehicle models for the same defect which unfortunately did not include the 2007 c230 sport model. Please advise. |
