| Description of the problem | When i fill the gas tank up to the top with fuel, there is a strong oder of gas coming from the car. It doesn't go away until the tank is about 3/4 full after driving. I took it to the dealer, they said they fixed it, but they did not. I think mercedes is aware of this issue yet refuses to do a recall. There are 100's of other complaints about this problem online from other e-class owners. |
