| Description of the problem | This vehicle has had nothing but problems. At around 32,000 it needed transmission repair. Unfortunately it was past the three year offered warranty. At around 45,000 miles, i was told that it needed new shocks. All of the repair men that i spoke with could not believe that this vehicle would need suspension work at such low mileage. After reading these posts, it is clearly a defect in the suspension. Meanwhile, i went through another set of tires because i am still waiting to repair the suspension. I guess i can wait no longer and will need to come out of pocket again. This vehicle has been a nightmare and based on this experience, i will never buy another mercedes. |
