1 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 06/15/2020

My vehicle fills with the smell of gasoline so badly that it makes me physically ill. I have to drive it with all the windows open to try to tolerate the smell and even then, the overwhelming stench of gasoline is palatable enough to taste, cause headaches, and nausea. This started a couple months ago with a slight smell and has gotten steadily worse. In the midst of the "stay at home" orders I left it and drove a different vehicle. In this time I did some online research and was appalled to learn that mercedes is fully aware of this issue. They extended a warranty period of 15 years to owners but did not consider it a safety issue and send the information to vehicle owners so that they could have the systems checked. I called mercedes to learn that my warranty period ended in January of this year. I feel that mercedes has knowledge of this issue and that it should be covered under a lifetime warranty. These vehicles are on the road for many years and causing unsafe health situations. . . I have children that ride in my car! they cannot tolerate the fumes. My final contact with mercedes was today. . They are very sorry but refuse to correct the well documented issue with my fuel system.
