Consumer Description

GASOLINE LEAK CREATING EXTREME ODOR INSIDE AND AROUND CAR EXTERIOR. DEALERSHIP STATES FUEL SENDING UNITS AND TANK NEED TO BE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. MY CAR WAS INCLUDED IN THE RELATED RECALL #2008-020001 AND WAS SUBSEQUENTLY SERVICED AT DEALERSHIP 1/19/09 TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. OBVIOUSLY THE PROPOSED REMEDY WAS INEFFECTIVE. ACCORDING TO TESTIMONY OF HUNDREDS OF OTHER E/CLS OWNERS WITH IDENTICAL, PERSISTENT ISSUES- THIS IS A DEFINITIVE DESIGN ISSUE AND HAS CREATED A SERIOUS SAFETY AND HEALTH ISSUE THAT REQUIRES MB TO SUFFICIENTLY RECTIFY ONCE AND FOR ALL. *TR
