Description of the problem	This car developed a very strong fuel smell inside the cabin shortly after filling up with gas in early 2012. I took it in to the dealer and they did warranty work replacing seals, etc. A little under a year later the smell came back. After doing a little research online i decided to take a look under the back seat and found where gasoline has stained the cushioning and a cloth that insulates between the frame and the seat. The fuel smell is much stronger in this area, which is inside the cabin. The dealer gave me back an estimate of almost $2,900 to replace the entire fuel tank assembly, sending units, hoses, etc. This is a known issue with mbusa.
