Thinking about a used CLS55 - reliability?
Hearing horror stories about Mercedes reliability lately.

Does it affect all cars? Some years better than others?

e55211 traded in for CLS55
Had the car for 1 year and 4 months, no problem except for the intermittent error message that says "Active lights malfunction" or something to that effect.

Had it for 2 months now no problems whatsoever. Owned a CLS 500 for a year prior to that no problems either, except for a steering wheel sensor change under warranty.
