Description of the problem	Based on news reports from earlier this year, i understand that the nhtsa is investigating complaints of fuel leaks that are common with mercedes benz e-class models between 2003 - 2009. I am writing to submit a complaint about my wife's 2006 e 350 that was just serviced for a fuel leak. For sometime she noticed a gas smell after refueling. On 10/16/13 when she refueled the fumes in the car were very strong and did not go away so she took the car to the nearby dealership for service the next morning. The dealership identified the problem as a fuel leak. The leak was severe enough that gas had leaked into the cushions of the back seat where our 3 year old toddler typically sits. The dealership identified the problem as a "safety concern". I agreed. I also expressed my concern to the dealership and mbusa about the gas that leaked into the seat cushion and that the leak seems to be a common problem with their e-class models. Although we have paid for the completed repair, i requested that the repair be covered by mbusa. Because no recall exists, mbusa does not acknowledge the leak as a defect and is currently reviewing my request for an out-of-warranty repair coverage, including the replacement of the rear seat cushion. My wife, oldest son and i have previously been diagnosed with asthma. I am concerned that the fumes that continue to linger will threaten asthma-related complications. I am happy to provide additional information upon request.
