| Description of the problem | I bought my first mercedes 20 days ago, i was driving with my kids around 6:30pm when suddenly i smell fuel inside the car and another vehicle approaches me to advised me that my car was leaking fuel all over the road. I took my kids out of the car immediately and i contacted the mercedes benz service department for help and i was told by a receptionist that the service department was closed that i need to contact a tow service that way the vehicle can be deliver to the dealership for service. You can't imagined how i felt on the side of the road at that time alone with my 2 kids with a car leaking fuel. I'm very disappointed!! |
