| Description of the problem | My mbz e350 is leaking fuel. Very strong smell both from inside and outside. I believe this is extremely dangerous to the driver and or passenger in my car. Also, when gas tank gets filled up, my e350 engine will start but it will die within 5 to 7 seconds. I've contacted mbz usa to inquire about the issue, i was informed that there's no extended warranty available to address the issue. But i've couple of documents related to same issue in which mbz stated that they're extend the warranty to fuel components. |
