Inside of my vehicle began smelling strong gasoline odor presenting a fire hazard. I found severe leaking at seam at top of gas tank under rear seat of my vehicle & was required to replace gas tank assembly, fuel pump sensor, fuel pump & seals at cost of $2,014. 00. I was told that a class action suit against Mercedes Benz involving year 2003 & later 320e autos for this issue was in progress in atlanta, GA. However florida cars (owners) were excluded on a technicality!!. This danger exists on all cars, wherever located and should be immediately corrected by mercedes. The danger of explosion and death is imminent in any of these autos. Mercedes is and has been aware of this problem for quite some time as was brought out in the class action suit and under our transportation safety rules should have recalled the autos years ago. This is a national problem, and florida auto owners should be properly compensated for their loss as should be any other owners where ever located. Your advise and assistance in this matter will be greatly appreciated. .
