Description of the problem	When i filled the gas tank i started noticing strong gasoline smell inside the car. The strong odor stayed for more than a few days then went away as the gas was used in driving. Three days ago i had the gas tank filled again and i looked up the problem on online forums and found out that this is a complaint lodged with nhtsa. I'd like to file my safety complaint too as my car is an accident waiting to happen. My garage is filled with gasoline fumes and when i tried to pull the car out of the garage yesterday, i noticed physical gasoline dripping near the back wheel. I called mb usa and the local mb dealer, they all said that i should stop driving it as its a fire/safety hazard and take it into the local mb dealer. Unfortunately, mb will not cover the cost of this repair as its outside the 4 years/50k miles warranty. I've been told that the repair can be expensive and since there's no recall from mb, i'd have to pay for it. If there's a recall (whenever that happens, it could take month/years!!) then mb 'might' reimburse me. I think that this issue needs to be taken care of asap by the relevant authorities and mb should provide the right assistance in getting this hazardous and life threatening issue addressed.
