Faults:

Rear brakes and rotors were required after just 18,000 miles at a cost of $800.

Front brakes and rotors were required after 28,000 at a cost of $800.

The entire rear view mirror assembly has dropped off the windshield twice while driving.

Rear hatch lock has been replaced twice.

Rear window wiper motor and washer has been replaced twice.

Drivers side and passenger side power window switches have failed and been replaced.

Heated seats will roast your rump to medium rare. This has been fixed once and will need to go back in once again.

Rear bumper came loose during a car wash.

Glove compartment broke and required replacement.

Drivers side cup holder broke and required replacement.

General Comments:

The annual brake and rotor maintenance bill will average nearly $800.00 yearly.

The quality of the car is horrible for the cost.

I should have bought a Lexus.

Faults:

One week after purchasing the car, the navigation system was telling me I was in Alabama. I live in Massachusetts.

Drivers side power window motor failed while it was raining and the window was down.

Power steering failure due to a defective hose.

Rear window washer fluid stopped working.

Drivers side, seat pull back snapped off.

Directional light remained on even when the car was shut off.

Front brakes and rotors need replacing at a cost f $540!!! Rear brakes are also wearing prematurely. The dealer claims that the brake problem results from the brake assist mechanism. This device allows the vehicle to begin braking as soon as you remove your foot from the accelerator. This feature contributes to premature rotor and brake pad wear.

General Comments:

I bought a Mercedes thinking that by paying more for a vehicle, I would be rewarded with a superior product.

The service has been great and the dealership has been even better. Mercedes should spend less money on fancy showrooms and free sodas and focus their attention on building a quality vehicle.

Roadside service is a plus and has responded in a prompt manner at all hours of the day or night.

I have enjoyed this vehicle when it hasn't been in the shop for service. I am disappointed with the the overall lack of quality. I don't think I would consider purchasing another Mercedes.

Faults:

General Comments:

Don't buy this car!!! it is seriously dangerous... thanks god when the steering wheel got locked I was driving in a parking garage, driving less than 10 miles/hr and was by myself.

In the beginning I believed in the tradition of driving a Mercedes, the cars my parents drove when I was a child, now thinking of the exposure that my kids had while I was driving this car, makes me feel pretty bad.
