Chrysler has nothing to do with the A Class or any other Mercedes. The A Class are truly and completely Mercedes. By the way, I have 2 of them with very high mileages, one with 300,000kms, and never had any problems with it. I know the automatic transmission did had a problem. Mine are manual gearboxes.

Chrysler has absolutely nothing to do with the A-Class. It was a Mercedes development from the ground up. Mercedes had the opportunity to improve Chrysler when it owned it, but didn't. It wasn't Chrysler who screwed up Mercedes - the latter were perfectly capable of doing it by themselves. Amen on the A-Class problems though - the automatics are trouble. Mercedes automatics are typically very robust; well this one wasn't.
