| Description of the problem | Purchased car on 2/12/2013. Filled car up with gas for the first time on saturday 3/23/2013. Garage and car smell like gas so bad it actually entered my home and i had to leave the garage door open to ventilate. Went on line and found that there are some law suits against mercedes for this defect and they are replacing the gas tanks with still defected gas tanks and charging clients for them. |
