Description of the problem	I starting smelling a gassy smell seeping into my house at night and after a few days concluded in had to be coming from the attached garage and subsequently after eliminating all other variables i narrowed it down to the car. I parked it outside for a couple of nights and the smell ceased in the house and garage. I then took the vehicle to pompano mercedes to have them check it out and was informed my seals were bad/leaking at the fuel line connections, so without a choice i had them repaired at a cost of $968. 21 on 9/13/2010. This resolved the problem for about 2 months, then the gassy smell returned. I took the car back to pompano mercedes again and explained that i had the car had the same symptoms of a gassy smell. They checked out the vehicle and informed me at this time i had a different fuel leak and that would require them to replace the entire gas tank and internal fuel pumps and seals at a cost of $3000 this time. Quite unhappy with this diagnosis considering i was just there 2 months prior and thought they had repaired the problem only to find out now it was more encompassing than their first attempt at a fix and it was going to cost a boatload of money to re-repair the problem as i was just over the 50k warranty to boot. With the news of the extended warranty settlement at this time i strongly feel my vehicle issues are as described in the class action suit and i should be entitled to reimbursement for the $968. 21 i spent at mercedes discretion.
