Consumer Description

STRONG FUEL SMELL BEGAN OCCURRING INSIDE & OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE AFTER FILLING THE CAR UP WITH GAS. FUEL LEAK DISCOVERED AT GAS TANK FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT. THIS IS A WIDELY KNOWN DEFECT ON THE MERCEDES W211 PLATFORM FROM 2003-2009 YEAR MODELS. MERCEDES DEALERS CONTACTED WILL ONLY MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS AT MY EXPENSE WHICH COULD EXCEED $2000. THIS DEFECT IS HAZARDOUS TO ANYONE DRIVING WITH THIS FUEL LEAKING CONDITION AND IS ALSO VERY ENVIRONMENTALLY UNFRIENDLY AS RAW FUEL BEING RELEASED. *TR
