So my 2nd door LED light has gone out. I'm bringing it in on Thursday for a loaner. I'm also having them look at or tell me can't be fixed the following:
1. LED door light - asking if they can replace the other 2 that haven't gone out yet but are dimmer than the newest one.
2. Drivers side door rattle over bumps.
3. Cracking in speakers when calling someone via bluetooth, and cracking sounds on satellite radio.
A couple of my friends had A4's...they were in the shop a lot.
I myself owned two VW's...both had many electrical issues.
Then again my current 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee has been in the shop 6 times for the year I've owned it...so I'll never buy a Chrysler/Jeep product ever again either.

I had a 2013 JGC Overland Summit and had no issues at all in the year I owned it...actually regret letting it go and getting into the C400 which I've had various issues with.

4. Whistling sound coming from vents.
5. Fuel issue recall
6. Wind at speeds over 60mph.
Wish me luck, I'd bet only 1 and 5 are fixed.
You'll have to be adamant. They're going to tell you most of those defects are normal. You know they're not. Dealer paid to convince you they are.
There is acoustic glass and new seals to fix the wind. You'll have to beg for it.

Bad news. MB Chrylser Jeep from same merged paremt Diamler since about 1998. If considering an MB, you're buying another one. And a new year model in a first year run of US build, you'll probably see your shop as much as your Audi friends see theirs. It's still a cool car though.

It's true the WK2 Jeep Grand Cherokee gets it's chassis design from MB, the rest of the vehicle is Chrysler/Jeep...now owned by Fiat.
The problems I've had with my Grand Cherokee mostly stem from the 3.6L 8 speed transmission...a Chrysler modified and assembled variant of the original German ZF transmission. The V8 version gets the mostly untouched German made version ZF...and it has had WAY less issues.
So a little update - I dropped off my car on 5/21 and they still have the car. Today makes 2 weeks. The LED lights on the door handles have all been replaced, rattle in the door has been reproduced and fixed. Recall for Fuel issue fixed, Was told whistling from vents at speed of 7 is normal (bs). Loud wind sounds at speeds of excess of 60mph reproduced but no fix available.
So the reason for 2 weeks? They found multiple errors in the control unit for the radio and combox? of the car. They had to special order the part from Germany and it came in 2 days ago they installed it this morning and the car is still showing multiple faults. They are now on the phone with engineers from burmester and mercedes, the service adviser said they cannot do anymore and need assistance but now i'm being told the car is undrivable. stay tuned...
Well this Thursday makes 3 weeks they've had my car. The computer system they replaced did not work. They are now working with engineers from mercedes in germany to try to fix the problem with the computer system, the shop foreman cannot figure out the problem and i'm being told the car is not drivable. 10 more days and I can hire a lawyer to move forward with lemon law.
So I got the car back a week ago and just haven't gotten on here to posting.
The noise in the door is still there and louder. They fixed the one door LED light and 2 days later the front drivers door went out and now the front passenger door is blinking (those are the 2 un replaced ones). I still have popping and crackling in the speakers when listening to the radio but when making phone calls over bluetooth it is better. The kicker....my trackpad is completely inoperable the turn knob works but not the touchpad. waiting for a loaner appointment now. Planning on calling a lawyer this week.

You should be able to lemon law that one. They'll not likely to fix all those issues. Good luck.

What kind of car u going to get next??
I spoke to a lemon law attorney and he said since it does not impact the driving of the vehicle it does not qualify for a New York lemon law...thoughts?
