Consumer Description

NOTE THAT THE VEHICLE ON HAS 43,733 MILES - CABIN INTERIOR STRONG LIVE FUEL FUMES - CONSTANT GAS FUMES ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAR CABIN. NOTE THAT THE CAR WAS STATIONARY AT MY RESIDENCE PARKING. I DID NOT KNOW WHERE WERE THE FUMES COMING FROM AT THE TIME. GOT A HEADACHE JUST FOR THE MOMENT I WAS TRYING TO DETERMINED WHERE WERE THE FUMES COMING FROM. THIS IS CURRENTLY FOR ALL DRIVERS AND OWNERS A VERY HAZARDOUS DANGEROUS CONDITION TO ALL EXTREMES, VERY HIGH RISK FROM IGNITION FROM STATIC OR ELECTRICAL, DUE TO WIRE HARDNESS IN THE AREA. VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND TOOK IT TO MERCEDES BENZ DEALER AND FOUND THE FOLLOWING: LEAKAGE IN FUEL SYSTEM. REPLACED FUEL TANK FUEL TANK DRAIN/FILL OBSERVED ACCIDENT PREVENTION REGULATION "12 WL08" FUEL TANK AND FUEL FOR STORAGEBRING OBSERVE ACCIDENT PREVENTION REGULATION "12 WL08" PERFORMED BY MERCEDES-BENZ OF NEW ORLEANS. FUEL TANK LEAKING IN THE INTERIOR WAS FOUND / WAS DRAINED & REFILLED AND FUEL TANK REPLACED. THIS WAS COVER UNDER A NEW SETTLEMENT WITH MERCEDES BENZ AND NHTSA. I THINK THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL WHEN IT RELATES TO SAFETY FACTORS.
