| Description of the problem | There is a fuel leaking into the backseat of my 2007 mercedes benz cls 550 i began noticing the smell in my car a few months ago and i finally decided to remove the back seat, under the back seat lies the fuel tank and a fuel filter module which is leaking and creating a small pool of fuel and a fuel scent in my car. Incidentally mercedes had a recall on the mercedes benz 2006 cls (voluntary emissions recall campaign #2008-020001) my car is a mercedes benz 2007 cls with the exact same problem. I would like to file this complaint and ask that you help me in getting mercedes benz to take responsibility for this faulty fuel filter module and initiate a recall to repair this problem. This problem has been documented extensively on many mercedes benz forums http://www. Mbca. Org/forum/gas-leak-sending-unit this issue creates an immediate hazard to me, my family and other drivers. I ask that you take quick action in contacting mercedes benz demanding they make amends to this issue before someone gets seriously injured. |
