| Description of the problem | After filling up the gas from gas station, we see gas leak/gas dripping under the car (underneath the rear seat). We can see gas dripping and the smell of the gas inside the car as well as outside the car. When i looked at the internet, there has been lot of incidents reported by plenty of customers and i don't know why mercedes is taking a look at it. It can cause serious fire issues since gas is exposed to air. I hope you will take this seriously. The contact merc dealership where we got this vehicle is 17510 north fwy, houston, tx (281) 305-8970. Thanks |
