Man oh man...

Guess who's still waiting for a reply from the regional representative as to why they can't fix my BAS, ESP, cruise control problems?

Yep, me. I've had the car to the dealership 6 times in the last 1 1/2 months. The dealer says that they don't know what could be wrong. I've shown them print outs from the forum, and I've contacted MBUSA twice.

This will not be a good survey. I don't care if they bribed me with a new S class. I'm too aggrevated to even deal with it anymore. Next week I plan to drop it off at the dealer and tell them that it can sit there without me making a payment until it is fixed.

I know I can't contractually withold my payments, but I'm at the end of my rope on this one.

I don't know if it is a wiring harness, the brake light switch or the ESP/ BAS modules, but I swear a 32K car that doesn't even have cruise control because the other systems keep deactivating it is ridiculus.

I love the car. It's too bad the manufacturer can't fix known problems. My next step is to call some other dealers (nearest one is 2 1/2 hours away) and see if they know of the problem and can schedule me an appointment to get it fixed.

What a pain...

how long ago did you buy this car, if it is brand new sue them if they will not replace it, six repairs would male this car a lemon.
