C230 C-Coupe
Not been in but could go in for three things:
Fuel sensor has teice displayed no fuel when there is plenty in the tank. Both times was after about 350 miles of driving.
Click Click noise which I think is coming from the rear seatbelts.
Parking brake is not precise. I put brake on and car slips about 1/3 foot. Still not like I live in the bay area...doh!
Otherwise the car is perfect and these issues can wait till the service.
3300 miles.

I noticed that one of the first services schedules a parking brake adjustment (which is never scheduled again) - so they must leave some play in the mechanism until after a break-in period.

2002 C230 Coupe
yea... i don't want a third visit to the dealer because they didn't do it right the 2nd time, i don't think they'll do it perfect the 3rd time, and so on...
it's less than perfect, the steering wheel is a bit turned to the left at neutural position, but the car does go straight, although i notice a very slight pull to the left occasionally, it could be due to road conditions.
