| Description of the problem | When i fill up there is a strong smell of gasoline inside the cabin of the car. This made me dizzy and nauseous and could have lead to losing control of the vehicle. It also is an emission violation for mercedes to sell their cars in this country with serious safety and emission defects like these "high end" cars have. Please be our advocate and make mercedes pay for their failure to engineer a sound file system. |
