| Description of the problem | Strong fuel smell after gas tank fill up under rear seat. Did research from nhtsa who stated mercedes had extended warranty for fuel tank components leak. Notified rbm mercedes atlanta of problem who verified extended warranty and agreed to repair fuel tank leak. However rbm mercedes notified me that the rear seat cushion was so saturated with gas fumes that they could not get smell out without replacing rear seat cushions which mercedes would not cover this cost of $550. They will replace components to delete fuel leak but not stand behind the consequences of the leaky fuel system.. Their inferior fuel system is the cause of this unbearable fuel odor that remains after their tank repair should and must be considered a part of the fuel leak problem. They should bear the expense of correcting this health hazard gas fuel smell. Exposure to this fuel smell is a real and serious health hazard that cause impaired driving abilities and permanent health consequences and must be dealt with quickly to eliminate any further exposure.
