Description of the problem	Problem 1: car sold to me without full disclosure. Silverstar motors in l. I city, ny sold me the car & withheld material information. The car had 4 damaged & defective wheels. This was disclosed to me by another dealer helms brothers. Tires were constantly losing air; front end would vibrate at highway speeds & was constantly in the shop. Silverstar gave me 4 new tires to compensate me for my troubles & i have already lost 2 of them in a few months. One was damaged last friday doing 10 miles an hour on archer avenue in queens ny hitting a pot hole. I was forced to purchase tire insurance knowing the problems i had with a previous 2006 mercedes cls 500 & this one. Manufactures should be held to higher standards for tires,& wheels strength & resilience. They should disclose to all buyers that low profile tires & large rims can be a major problem on city streets. Several months ago i was leaving an atm drive-in at chase bank; going 5 mph i side swiped the curb, lost air in both right tires & had to call for road service. Such little force to the tires caused a major problem & could at high speeds be deadly. I was fortunate that i was only going yes 5mph. The wheel & tire issues had car out of service at silver star for of 3-4 weeks. Problem # 2: engine light on. Helms brothers had car 3 x for 27 days. They pulled out engine & transmission to replace engine harness wiring. I picked up the car & the engine light went on again. They said there was an oil leak at one of the engine sensors & they cleaned it up & secured it. Again the 3rd time i returned because the engine light was on. Helms brothers said they missed one of the engine sensors, & cleaned it or replaced it and secured it. They also removed all the gas from the tank (5 gallons +/-) the third trip & put in a few gallons of new gas. The car was road tested one week more. The engine light stayed off.
