| I'm writing to lodge a complaint concerning a dangerous fuel leak into the cabin of my parents' 2006 mercedes benz e 350 (vin [xxx]), which has resulted in gas soaking the rear insulation pad, sound pad, & rear seat cushion, all of which are soaked in gas (per the repair recommendation from mb of san diego). i should add that the car only has about 55k miles. my mom is 76 and my dad is 82. they don't drive much-- just local errands. the only reason my mom caught this one was the strong gas smell in the cabin. i am writing to you directly for the following reasons: 1.this relates to your on-going investigation #pe12-001. 2.the fuel leak presents a dangerous risk of fire and risk of gas fume inhalation to the driver and passengers. 3.the fuel from the leak does in fact soak into rear insulation pad, sound pad, & rear seat cushion, despite the incorrect denial of that fact by mb-usa to the nhtsa. (see letter from mb-usa to you.) 4.the service advisor at mb of san diego told me last week that he has personally seen a lot of these fuel leaks into the cabin with mbs. i have asked the dealer performing the repair to save the defective the part(s) and the soaked insulation pad, sound pad, & rear seat cushion. it is available for your inspection.[xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr.. updated 02-07-13 *bf *tr | |||
