What owners report
Noticed a strong odor of gas, well actually my kid did was sitting in backseat. I had just filled up and the smell didn't disipate. The next morning i still smelled it. I removed the seat and cover on the drivers side and almost half a gallon of pure gas was sitting there. I cleaned everything up removed all the gas. Reconnected the battery and its litteraly coming from micro cracks in the lid. I can send you the lid. I have since replaced it now i'm dealing with a 3699 code and just don't understand why a part like this that is recalled on other models with my 2013 w204 c class was not included just e, and cls.
