car going to dealer again

I got a call on on friday from some guy who I believe is a lead techinician of some sort. he said that he wil be at my dealer on monday and tuesday and for me to drop my car off to work on my problem.

for those who don't know.. my car is pulling to the right and this is the 4th time it's going to the dealer...... 4th and last time hopefully....

MB coupe.
I can't believe that MB can't correct an alingment problem.

How hard can this be????????

i have no idea... it's been alinged more than 1 time and same with the balancing...

and the clincher was when they tried to make me pay for the 2nd alingment saying that warranty only covers 1 alingment.

we'll see what happens after tomorrow...

well with mine, what they tried to do was get it to pull to the left so that it would offset the pulling to the right.. but that doesn't work well either... maybe they did it to yours as well

This is the BS my tech gave me...

mine goes straight somehow after alignment, but steering wheels seems not straight......

i think even alignment works, they are screwing around with it.....

so my final decision is that MB made a bad chassis....or had done poor job on it....most of coupes are pulling to right.

we'll see wat happens after he gets his car.....

and it's unbelievable that u have to pay for ur service!!1

yea! my coupe pulls to the right too!
after the 2nd dealer visit it got better but they screwed the steering wheel to the left!
plan to bring the car to another dealer to see if the techs are better over there

Hey Fuzzo

In another thread (wearing out Michelins) Black230 stated that the techs at his dealer changed the lower arm bolts to correct his pulling to the right steering problem. I'm not sure if that has ever been done on your car but I thought I'd point it out.

Hope that you get the thing fixed eventually, BT
