NHTSA Complaint #10606241 — 2006 MERCEDES-BENZ AMG CLS55

AFTER PURCHASING A USED MB CLS55 AMG I NOTICED I KEPT SMELLING FUEL INSIDE THE CABIN OF MY VEHICLE AFTER FILLING UP WITH FUEL. DID NOT PUT ANY MIND TO IT TILL AFTER THE THIRD FILL UP. AND I DID A RESEARCH ONLINE AND NOTICED ITS A COMMON PROBLEM I THEN CALLED THE 800# AND ASKED IF THE RECALL CAMPAIGN #2008-020001 WAS EVER PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE AND THEY SAID IT WAS DONE IN 2008 BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER. I TOLD HIM THAT THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING AGAIN AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP TOLD ME THEY ONLY PERFORM THE RECALL ONCE AND IT IS UP TO THE OWNER TO PAY FOR THE PROBLEM THE SECOND TIME. SO I GUESS IM STUCK WITH A BIG BILL FOR SOMETHING THAT WAS NEVER REPAIRED PROPERLY FROM THE FIRST TIME. THATS WHAT LED ME TO THIS SITE HOPEFULLY SOMEBODY WILL READ THIS AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT A BANDAID THAT WAS PLACED ON THE CAR (BASICALLY REPLACED PART WITH THE SAME PART BUT NEWER THAT WAS DEFECTIVE FROM DAY1). *TR
