| Description of the problem | While driving on the highway there was a burning smell coming from inside the car. My son pulled over and opened the driver side door there was smoke coming from the front door speaker. We found several complaints online of the same issue with same year make and model of mercedes. We brought it to ray catena in edison nj explained the problem and they stated it was not covered even though they stated a faulty amplifier after trying to replace the speaker which melted on them as well. This is a definite safety issue as my son could have been injured be so he was driving at the time. This was not a normal wear and tear repair. |
