CLS reliability poll
Trying to guage reliability. Have read many horror stories. Don't mind electrical gremlins as long as they get fixed ONCE and I can still drive the car.
1. No problems whatsoever
2. Some problems but I could always drive to the dealer and it got fixed in reasonable time.
3. Some problems and they either stranded me or took way too long to fix.

Rolling past 13,000 in less than 6 mos.
Nothing major. (1) My passenger window seem to stop going down as far as my drivers side, (2) my pass side door speaker would make a popping sound when turned up, and (3) TSB Item - my clear film in front of rear wheels went yellow. All was corrected by the dealer and I had a chance to drive around the RL which came in handy because I brought all my stuff home from my boat when putting it away for winter.

2,300 miles - Rattle on the rear deck (since fixed), new brake pads and rotors all the way around (this also happened on my '06 CLS 500), car hesitation when hit 1,000 miles (bad gas I was told). Now it runs great.

8 months... (yikes!) 27,000 miles... no problems! Pertaining to the car at least. However I've been having major problems with tires. Went through 2 sets already on my Brabus 20s. So is it NORMAL to go through tires every 8-10,000 miles?

Amazing to see that you have not had any problems. Seems like MB is doing something right once again.

89K miles, had her for 3.5 years. No issues, only a fresh air pump, nothing. Only routine upkeep. She is under warranty until 100K miles, basically another year of coverage.

Other things i noticed is center speaker sounds busted on certain songs i play through my phone and instrumental cluster would blink at random (the lights when you set cruise control).
