| Description of the problem | I bought a 2006 mercedes 3 years ago thinking i would have a car for a lifetime boy did i go wrong. In the past 3 months i have had major problems and mercedes doesn't care. The first issue i had to replace the crank shaft $6000 plus for repair i almost went crazy so i started researching on the internet and found out there was a class action law suit for this issue so i phoned mercedes and they agree to pick up half of the repair. One month later car starts making winding noise take it back to them and now they say it is the front differential $5500 to repair i start to research that on the internet and there are so many complaints for my same issue on the same year and model so i go back to mercedes however this time not willing to help. How many complaints is it going to take for something to be done to such a powerful company like mercedes. I truly do not think this is fair and us the consumers are being ripped off. *js |
