Consumer Description

I SMELL A HEAVY FUEL ODOR COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WHEN I FILL THE FUEL TANK TO 100%. CALLED MERCEDES AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY ISSUE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH I SEE THAT THEY HAVE INDEED HAD A RECALL OUT FOR THIS VERY ISSUE. FROM WHAT I HAVE FOUND ONLINE, MY CAR SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL FOR 15 YEARS WITH UNLIMITED MILES.
