Airmatic Malfunction - Replaced Front Springs
Engine Mount Ticking - Replaced Engine Mounts
Defective Rear Shocks (bottoming out noise) - Replaced Rear Shocks
Audio Malfunction - Replaced Gateway
Cooling Fan Noise - Replaced Cooling Fan
Passenger Headrest Rattle - Fixed Somehow
Static on FM Stations - Service Guys Can't Hear It
Excessive Road Vibration in Steering Wheel After Replacement of Springs - Service Guys Can't Feel Difference
Currently Pulls to the Right - Tire PSI OK so going in next week for align.
I figure by December I'll have a brand new car - one piece at a time.

When the night weather dropped 32* below:
Esp malfunction
Headlights unavailable
No horn
No FSS function buttons
No Volume control
Now my car is in the shop and the dealer is working on my whole electronic problem my car is having. Thank God it is still under factory warranty.
Like I have said before, and I am saying it again. I wish the German make the car and the Japanese make the electronic. Now that's an ultimate car.

And regarding the hesitation to down shift; its not a problem rather the a feature of all MB engines. All the MB cars I've ever owned had hesitation on down shifts.

The only problem I've had with my car has been keeping the oil filter cap tight. Other than that, everything's worked fine...
But after reading this, I'm identifying a few mmore minor nuisances....

your cds will continue to skip...mb cd players dont like burned cds
your wipers need changing..if persistent we have a cleaning agent that will make your windshield smoother

This is what I was told. That is too bad. The same discs have no problem playing on my Acura and Mazda.
