| Description of the problem | 2006 mercedes benz r350-this vehicle keeps leaning on the right side. I took it to the dealership and have replaced several parts including sensors and valves but after a few weeks, it goes back to the same problem. I took it to a local shop that specializes only on mercedes benz and he's having a hard time figure out what's the problem. I can't tell how much money i spent so far in this vehicle and i can't believe that there's no recalls so far. No to mention the problems with the balance shaft and intake manifold issue as well as a air suspension problem. These problems are a manufacture defect especially on the r350 class vehicles. Mb is aware of these problems but they are not taking responsibility to create a recall. Believe me, i've seen so many r350 vehicles out there, and most of them seem to have the same problem. Do we have to wait for a recall in this vehicle until a fatality occurs? |
