| Description of the problem | I recently bought an 07 mercedes e350 i've found this same complaint on numerous websites the whole cab of the car fills with a terrible fuel smell only on the inside of the cabin but its so bad id hesitate lighting a lighter in the car until the windows have been rolled down and aired out its supposedly under the very spot my 5 year old granddaughter would be seated this is not only highly dangerous and flammable but will give the driver and occupants terrible headaches, nausea at times and in my opinion is a not only fire hazard but also a health hazard and it does this sitting stationary without the car running i've tried everything not filling the car to the top but even at a half tank you have the same problem its so bad i would return the car if the dealer would take it back this is extremely unhealthy |
