I bought this car new in 2011. After a couple of months, started noticing a rotten egg odor coming from my car. The smell seems to come from underneath the car. Usually occurs when I'm going 45mph or more going up a hill on a highway. Took it to the dealer to check, so they took the car for a test drive and said they found no odors which I don't understand why? they said it might be the type of fuel I use for the car may affect it, but I use premium gas only from chevron. Mercedes really need to look into this, because the smell is horrible! I've been dealing with this smell for almost three yrs. Now.
