MOVED FROM SAN FRANCISCO TO PALM SPRINGS, UPON BEING IN THE DESERT WITH INCREASED TEMPERATURES, MY CAR STARTED EMITTING STRONG FUMES THAT SMELL LIKE BURNING CRAYONS, THOUGHT IT WAS COMING FROM EXHAUST BECAUSE IT WAS BURNING MY EYES AND CAUSING HEADACHES. TOOK INTO DEALER AT PALM SPRINGS MERCEDES, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE DUE TO THE WAX THAT IS IN THE BODY OF CAR TO PROTECT FROM CORROSION. THEY STATED THAT WHEN THE WAX HEATS UP IT MELTS AND CAUSES THIS ODOR. THEY REMOVED THE WAX FROM THE INTERIOR OF DOORS, BUT THIS DID NO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THEY HAVE DOCUMENTED THAT THE ODOR IS STILL THERE, BUT REFUSE TO WORK ON THE CAR ANYMORE. I WANT THEM TO BUY OUT THE LEASE BUT THEY ARE REFUSING. THE MERCEDES DEALER TOLD ME TO GET A LAWYER. HE INFORMED ME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENEND SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE, BUT MBUSA IS REFUSING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. I CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR WITHOUT GETTING HEADACHES AND BURNING EYES. WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THIS. PLEASE HE...
