| Description of the problem | I purchased this vehicle new in oct. 2006. On nov. 7, 2012 with 19600 miles i filled the gas tank full of fuel and noticed immediately inside cabin, trunk, and outside of the vehicle was a strong fuel smell beyond belief! After several days of this issue i researched to find out there are many problems from other owners with this exact same problem. After reviewing there issues i started my own investigation and after removing my back seat; i found that fuel is leaking from the fuel system inside the cabin of vehicle. I am so disappointed and highly concerned for my safety as well as other innocent driver's around me that a sudden spark may ignite my vehicle on fire and cause a mass explosion while driving. Please with all these current issues find mbusa responsible. I have given mbusa years of loyalty in owning three of there vehicles. We as consumers deserve better from a company with their values and history. |
