THIS LAST TWO WEEKS, WE NOTICED THAT THERE'S A STRONG SMELL OF GAS. THERE'S NO LEAK THAT WE COULD SEE BUT THE ODOR IS STRONG THAT GIVES US HEADACHES. WE ARE DOING A RESEARCH ON WHY THIS IS HAPPENING BUT THE ONLY THING WE SEE ABOUT IT ONLINE IS ABOUT THE LINK BETWEEN GAS TANKS AND GAS FILTER. PLEASE HELP.

TAKATA RECALL - FOR OVER 2 YEARS, I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO HAVE MERCEDES BENZ-HONOLULU REPLACE THE TAKATA AIRBAGS AS PER THE RECALL NOTICES I RECEIVE APPROXIMATELY EVERY 6 MONTHS FROM MERCEDES-BENZ USA. EACH TIME, I AM TOLD THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS. RECENTLY, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ATTEMPTED TO TAKE THE RECALL NOTICE FROM ME AND TELL ME THE RECALL WAS EXPIRED. UPON FURTHER INSISTENCE, I WAS AGAIN TOLD THAT THE PART IS NOT IN AND THE NOTICES ARE BEING SENT BY MERCEDES USA AS REQUIRED BY FEDERAL LAW BUT THERE ARE NO PARTS. THEREFORE, THEY ARE UNABLE TO PROVIDE ME WITH AN ETA BECAUSE NEWER VEHICLES ARE THE PRIORITY AND AT THIS TIME THEY DO NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WILL RECEIVE THE PARTS TO REPLACE THE TAKATA AIRBAGS.
