Consumer Description
I NOTICED THAT ANOTHER OWNER OF A 2006 E350 NOTED THAT HE/SHE HAD A FUEL LEAK. I HAVE HAD ONE, TOO. THE EXTENDED WARRANTEE RAN OUT IN 2020, SO MERCEDES WOULDN'T COVER THE REPAIR EXPENSES. BUT IF THEY KNEW FOR 15 YEARS THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM, THEY SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THE CARS. AND IF THEY AREN'T GOING TO RECALL IT, THEY SHOULD COVER REPAIR EXPENSES. THIS IS A SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT'S LIKELY THAT OUR TANK HAS BEEN LEAKING FOR A WHILE. WE'VE SMELLED GAS FOR ABOUT A YEAR, BUT DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS LEAKING UNTIL RECENTLY WHEN THERE WAS A CLEAR PUDDLE IN THE GARAGE.
