| Description of the problem | I took car in because it had lowered down. I paid for it. I took it home wife said it is still driving wrong. She took it in and serviceadvisor drove around with her and said he feels it. We drove to dallas checked in hotel went out to car lowered again pressed button to raise it. Made it home to houston and lowered again. Took it in to service at mercedes and now it needs front struts are leakingand some other things. The air bags in the back were replaced also when i took it in before. I have seen several cars like mine on the side of the road with the car leaning&lowered so something has to be wrong with this make model car. There are a lot of web sites with customer complaints about the suspension of this car. Nhtsa its time to investigate. I see no investigation fromnhtsa websight. No one has investigated this car. Will you please investigate? This is just a couple of the problems i've had there are more with just 52000 miles mercedes if i am having one problem after the other what is wrong with this car ? The sticker price was $68,000. 00 or $70,000. 00 it will make you not want another one. |
