Description of the problem	Upon fueling the vehicle there is a very pungent gasoline vapor smell from both the exterior & interior of the car. The smell begins to dissipate when fuel in the tank reaches 3/4-1/2 tank. The smell of fumes is enough to produce nausea, headaches, itching skin, watering eyes & even vomiting in drivers & passengers. Even with windows down & sunroof open, the smell is intolerable. The car will "sputter" when stopped at traffic lights. The vehicle currently has 105,800 miles on it. This issue was first noticed at approximately 103,000. An appointment has been scheduled with a mb dealership for inspection on 2/6/2016. I do not feel comfortable driving the vehicle due to the physical symptoms we've presented from the fumes & fear of a fire due to the potential of a faulty fuel tank/system. My 5 & 6 year old sons sit in the rear of the vehicle & can't tolerate the fumes. We've had to resort to carrying my sons asthma inhaler with us when riding in this vehicle. The vapors have directly affected his asthma & we feel the fumes are responsible for an asthma attack that has occurred when he's ridden as a passenger. Issue needs to be solved immediately at the expense of mb, extremely hazardous problem & numerous similar reports have been filed.
