Description of the problem	I'm writing to lodge a complaint concerning a dangerous fuel leak into the cabin of my parents' 2006 mercedes benz e 350 (vin [xxx]), which has resulted in gas soaking the rear insulation pad, sound pad, & rear seat cushion, all of which are "soaked" in gas (per the repair recommendation from mb of san diego). I should add that the car only has about 55k miles. My mom is 76 and my dad is 82. They don't drive much-- just local errands. The only reason my mom caught this one was the strong gas smell in the cabin. I am writing to you directly for the following reasons: 1. This relates to your on-going investigation #pe12-001. 2. The fuel leak presents a dangerous risk of fire and risk of gas fume inhalation to the driver and passengers. 3. The fuel from the leak does in fact soak into rear insulation pad, sound pad, & rear seat cushion, despite the incorrect denial of that fact by mb-usa to the nhtsa. (see letter from mb-usa to you.) 4. The service advisor at mb of san diego told me last week that he has personally seen a lot of these fuel leaks into the cabin with mbs. I have asked the dealer performing the repair to save the defective the part(s) and the soaked insulation pad, sound pad, & rear seat cushion. It is available for your inspection.[xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). .. Updated 02-07-13 bf updated 2/12/2013 js 02/15/2013 *js
