| Description of the problem | Strong odor of gasoline fuel inside and outside of the vehicle after refilling the tank. Odor went away after driving some distance thereby lowering the fuel level in the tank. M-b of tampa and mb of usa refused to make warranty repair fuel leakage problem due my pzev vehicle (with option 917) was sold in florida (not in 10 states which have "0 emission requirements"). As per summary of o. D. I. "in letter dated september 4, 2014, mercedes has notified agency (odi nhtsa) that it will extend the original warranty coverage to 15 years and unlimited mileage on "covered fuel tank components" in e-class vehicles in my 2003-2009 and cls-class vehicles in my 2006-2011." looks-like mercedes dropped out of the general list of the my 2003 through 2009 e-class all pzev vehicles (with option 917) manufactured for sale or lease in the united states, but sold to customers by m-b official dealers in the states, which do not have "0-emission" requirements. |
