| Description of the problem | Bought the 2006 cls 500 2 years ago, since that second day i have issues with sbc module, i call mb dealer they told me my car was out of warranty, since the production date was 2004, okay after that i try several other mechanics and nobody have the star tool to fix up, the car is not safe to drive and i continue take the risk couple months until the fuel line starts leak on the pump, this could generate a spark and burn my car, i call again mb dealer and they told me is probably unsafe to start the car. After all this years i parked the car and all my suspension was broke as well, call again the mb dealer they estimated $ 1800 to replace the air shocks, so i buy from arnott the same mb sell and i replace all 4, so the car is up again, next week i decide to sell the vehicle after driving in 3 years 9,000 miles only, try to move the car from the garage, guess what, my transmission go to limp mode because the breaks are not working, so far i decide to write in here to complain why a such beautiful car have so many issues and mb does not care for the old mb. I almost get on accident when my breaks complete frozen to the end !!! |
