| Description of the problem | I filled up the car and drove home you can smell gas outside at the gas station like it was leaking somewhere, but when i got home the smell was so loud that i was afraid to park it in the garage. Not only the smell was bad, but i can't tell if it is filled all the way or not because the gas gauge doesn't go to the top, it is about 3 notches from full, but all the gas pump it stops that it is full. I went online, and it stated that it was a recall for e350 and others for the fuel filters that leak and may cause a fire, but it is for 2011 & 2012. It should be for all mercedes benz because this same problem is happening for older car as well. |
