| Description of the problem | Several times i have noticed a strong odor of gasoline inside the car after filling up at the gas station. I have noticed several other complaints of the same nature. I noticed a recall # 2008-02001 seems to address this mercedes-benz issue but am not sure it applies to the cls500. I think it applies to the cls550 and the e-type but it should apply to the cls500 since the underpinnings of this car is the e-type. Please assist as i would like to have this safety issue addressed by mercedes-benz and judging from the number of complaints feel that mercedes-benz should correct this apparent defect at no charge. |
