Description of the problem	Vehicle has less than 50k miles, we started noticing an intermittent strong fuel smell in the cabin in the spring of 2020. We found out that this is a known issue and mercedes had issued an extended warranty due to this issue. Unable to get the vehicle to the dealer due to covid. When we did get it diagnosed recently, we were informed the repair would exceed $3400 and we were out of the warranty period. The repair consists of replacing the fuel tank and fuel system components. Mercedes benz na has offered us a $400 dealer service credit. We cannot afford to do this repair and therefore have a vehicle we are unable to safely operate.
