| Description of the problem | I have a 2007 mercedes benz e350, when i fill up the tank i have an overwhelming smell of gasoline inside the car. It is so strong it gives me a headache. I am concerned for the safety of my children and myself. Obviously this is an ongoing issue that needs to be addressed by mercedes benz. Peoples lives are at risk here. This is supposed to be a high end car yet we are supposed to foot the bill due to mercedes benz not wanting to take responsibility for the defect. Too many people are have the same problems. Something needs to be done before someone loses their life behind mercedes benz defect. |
