| Description of the problem | Strong fuel odor after filling up my car. After 2 days odor was still there. Took to dealership to be checked and was told that the fuel sending units need to be replaced and will cost $1130. 00.. I have very low mileage on my car 48,336.. This is a huge safety and environmental issue. Very unhealthy to breathe in fuel vapors and bad for the atmosphere. This is exactly the same as the "e" class recall. Why wasnt the "c" class included. Please make this a recall on the "c" class. |
