im sick of this car
hey whats up guys, i bought a starmarked cl500 back in november and ive been having nothing but problems with this damn car. i never even use it, i really only take it out on weekends and out to dinner or whatever.
back in jan the car died and left me stranded in a bank parking lot and it was like 10 degrees out. car had to be flatbedded to the dealer. turned out it was the alternator.
then this week all these messages came up on the IC saying visit workshop, BAS and all that nonsense. also my signals stopped working. car had to be flatbedded to the dealer. dealer said it that there was a fuse shorting in the steering column that was triggering the IC malfunctions and preventing the signals from working.
now this morning, i go to take the car out and its completely dead, wont start at all. i called the dealer and they are coming to flated it again.
this is getting ridiculous. i never had this many problems with my clk. its getting to the point where i dont even want this car anymore. is there anyone else that has had similar problems with their CL?
sorry, just had to rant...

2000 CLK traded in, 2002 S430, 2002 CL600 sold
I have a 02 CL600, the CEL came back on 3 times, gasket leak, now heat exchanger leak. Over $6k in repairs, under warranty.
Still waiting for the heat exchanger to arrive from germany, waiting for 2 weeks. But I feel once all the bugs are fixed, it should bring the joy in owning this car back again.

I've an '04 CL500 and currently experience these problems:
Mysterious window opening
Misfuncting distronic
Mysterious whistling noise
Parktronic misfires
I love the looks of the car. IMO classic, masculine looks--one of the best on the planet; however, I'm looking for a CPO Bentley GT, just in case
