Consumer Description

HEAVY FUEL SMELL INSIDE CAR WHEN PARKED OR WHEN DRIVING, EVEN MORE SO IF INSIDE MY GARAGE. WENT ON LINE, SAW THAT MERCEDES TOLD NHTSA THAT IT WILL EXTEND WARRANTY TO 15 YEARS UNLIMITED MILEAGE, AND THAT THEY WILL COVER FUEL PUMP, FUEL TANK,AND ALL RELATED GASKETS. SMELL IS EVEN WORSE WHEN TANK IS FULL! I REMOVED REAR SEAT AND FOUND GAS SEAPAGE ON TOP OF FUEL PUMP, AND REAR SEAT WAS WET UNDERNEATH WITH GAS. WILL MERCEDES COVER THIS?? WILL THEY GIVE ME A HARD TIME I HAVE LOVED THE CAR BUT THIS IS KIND OF SCARY AS I TAKE MY GRANDDAUGHTER TO SCHOOL EVERY DAY AND DRIVE IT TO WORK. THERE ARE WIRING GOING TO FUEL PUMP AND IM AFRAID THAT IT MIGHT CREATE A SPARK.PLEASE HELP, [XXX], MY EMAIL [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
