Recently I noticed that I got loud noises if you're on the back seat. Sounds like the back doors aren't properly closed. It begins at aprox 50 mph.
Gave the car to the dealer the other day and they told me that's normal. The W204 makes much more noises than the W202 or W203 I own

I wouldn't be surprised if the problem isn't more noise, but different noise. The problem with making cars quieter and quieter is that any noises that do make there way in then seem really loud, and often are of the most irritating sort.

1 yr, 6k miles.
Things i've came across:
-smell when the ac turns on (hopefully will get fixed when i take car in for Service A this weekend)
-the driver's window doesn't got up automatically... i have to hold the window up button... and also when it does go up... it sometimes automatically comes back down an inch or so. (already got fixed at dealer)
-excessive brake dust on rear wheels (i know technically not a problem)
All-in-all, i think that's pretty good for the first year of ownership

Mention it the next time your in the dealership. Tech should install felt in the B-pillar to dampen the noise; did it for me and now I only hear it if I'm going over a colossal set of rail road tracks. Previously I would hear it routinely.

noticed that the windshield washer fluid sprays a mist that goes all over the place from my hood to the side windows... its pretty annoying when u have a clean car.
need to check and see if i can re direct where they spray.

Got that tire pressure message today after 1300 miles my tire pressure is fine. With all the concerns I see about mercedes warranty being up and wanting to purchase warranties I am starting to become really fearful of what may be instore for me if I keeep this car too long.

I also see you're in Jamaica. Aren't shops' labor rates lower there than in the U.S.?

I hear you!! It happens in my car too - for quite sometime I thought it was the Pano since I have the screen open all the time but of late my guess is the B-pillar. Shall take my SA for a ride to show it to him during my next service.

I had the right rear SRS warning light come on. Took it to the dealer, had my car for two days (because they broke one of the trim panels) to replace the seat belt. I also had the flash update done to my transmission to reduce the "delay going into reverse". It made a big difference.

this dimple or actually pimple, since it protrudes outward slightly, is coming out of the seat back of my passenger side mb tex.. it is on the part where the passangers middle left upper back would touch the seat...
it is about 3/8" wide and raised approximatly 1/8-1/4" and is noticeably visible from distances up to 6-8 feet... when i push it it goes in and comes right back out... cant feel anything even pushing it up, have no idea how it got there, and think it just popped up out of nowhere one day....
maybe something mechanical from the inside caused this???
either way i hope the dealer can fix it at my first service.... for free they better
