Description of the problem	Began noticing gasoline smell in garage. Traced smell to the car. The smell has now intensified that i can smell fuel as soon as i exit the vehicle. The smell is now prevalent regardless of the amount of gas in the tank! It smells really strong in the driver side rear wheel well. I can no longer park the car in my garage for fear of fire. The smell is now becoming noticeable in the cabin as well. My understanding is nhtsa is aware of the problem and mercedes benz will not acknowledge a design flaw. I suppose i or some other owner will have to go up in flames before anyone decides to do the right thing. How sad.
