| Description of the problem | This vehicle shows same symptoms as what was investigated on report# vrtc-dcd-3206 by nhtsa. Upon filling up the gas tank to full, gas leaks from sanding unit under rear passenger seat. Few times the gas has made its way out and dripped from rear left wheel well. Reached out to mb usa and was told the recall was only in e-class and they will not extend it to c-class. I see this as a poor product design as the car only has under 14,000 miles. It's both health and environmental hazard. |
