Just filled up the tank and noticed a strong smell of gasoline, so i took it back to mercedes benz, who informed me that the top of the gas tank was leaking as a result of a defective seal on the top of the tank and is a well known issue. This is a serious safety issue since gas is in the passenger compartment. |
