Description of the problem	A couple weeks after my brake hydraulics went out (which was repaired under warranty) i started to notice a strong gas smell from inside of my car, along with a check engine light. After a couple weeks of airing out i decided to take it in to mercedes benz of littleton for repair. I was charged $1500 for the repair, which still left my car smelling like gas and check engine light came back on with the same error code(small evap. Leak) i lifted the back seat to find the bottom soaked in gunnky gas along with electrical wires running through the leak area. I'm afraid my car will catch on fire or blow up. I'm sick of these dangerous malfunctions that i feel mercedes knows about but won't repair for free. I asked the service tech what i can do to prevent this from happening and he said "nothing". Now i'm $1500 in the drain and the problem is not fixed, and i was reassured the problem would show up again.
