Consumer Description

Looks like I am not the first one to complain about the strong smell of fuel on the driver side under the hood as well as inside of the vehicle. Upon further inspection it was determined that the fuel line at the pump is leaking fuel. My car has only 48k miles on it...How can such dangerous failure be ignored by MB for more than three-four years or longer?? Please note that this particular issie is leading the complaints chart. Based on the amount of identical complaints, it appears that this "manufacturer" is waiting for an injury or fatality before they do something about it. This fuel hose situation MUST be addressed IMIDIATELY. Please start the recall before it is too late!!!
