06 ML350/500, SL500 Recall, will the 06 C350 be there too!?
I have a friend working in the service department and he said that the 06 ML350/500 SL500 have engine recalls, they have to replace the whole engine/tranny unit due to oil leaks!? said there might be a possiblitiy with the 06 c350s too, said theres a slight problem with the engine production quality? I think its maybe kuz of the MLs are made in the US, but what abt the SLs... Just letting you guys know! safe to wait just maybe a lil more to see how everything works out!

'05 C230WZ / '01 Honda VFR 800
Kompressor kinks worked out
This is an example of what can go wrong with a new model. So, for the '05 Kompressor people bumming out because of the new 230 and 350, you should at least take comfort in that you are dealing with a set-up that has had most of the bugs worked out.I knew about the new engines and still ordered one of the last '05s.
That said, I was "trying on" an entry level Mercedes after a long run of Acuras and I really like car so far. I may even end up ordering an '06 C350 or C55 before they change the body as I think it is beautiful and close to perfect with its ergonomics. The '07s will probably have that higher window still, less side glass design that I hate. I'm I the last person who likes to drive with an elbow resting on an open window sill on a nice day? Try that on a CLS and you'll need to drive right to the chiropractor.

i thought i was the only one that was not so happy with those damn high windows sills.anyway though, i will not be surprised at the problems the 06s will have. i remember how most people that bought the 01 had probs when the c changed from w202 to w203

If the CLS got into a car accident, the doors are locked....and if ur over 160lbs, over 6 ft, ur totally screwed...the "crawl out the window before we blow up into pieces" would be a nice idea wouldnt it!? lols
besides, I have a 2003 C320, ML500 and S430 4mat, and also a 04' E500...3 out of 4 fully breed German car, and 1 US made...I hate my ML, Less than 25,000 miles on it, I have already bought my car in for service over 30 times. One issue, then another, then another. My car shut off on me when I was on the highway, no power, no lights, It was screwed. The other 3? no problem at all.....Never again buying a US made MB!!!
