Angry CL63

CL63 is the worst car I've owned in my 50 years of buying cars, at 1800 miles major breakdown, in the dealership for 31 days, at 16000 miles worn out cams and lifters, 4 months out of warranty WTF anybody else had this problem?

Theirs always a few A-- HOLES in the group and your one of them. I will not be responding to any more of your hostile and child like comments. I thought this was a forum to exchange important information on Mercedes vehicles, not a forum to attack it's members. So sad.

Your opinion here counts as much as your post/time as member ratio.

Sounds like you have a lemon on hands with all the bad experiences. I feel bad for you. Any way you can purchase an extended warranty? I haven't heard of those kind of problems on a CL so soon.

As for the other members of the forum, you all should cut the guy some slack. Who cares if it is a "troll"?? Show a bit of sensitivity. I'm been a member of other car forums and they don't have an attitude like the ones here. What a bunch of snobs...

So out of 50 years this is your first major break down for one of your owned cars in all 50 years?

Not bad

But weird

Oh good your car broke down... Now tell us details. Otherwise this is a useless post without facts,pics or any real information. I doubt you even have a CL63 or have ever driven one.

I raced a CL63 a few days ago and beat it by a quarter car length from 50-120. Dead even start. I know that doesn't help you at all, but I just had to share. My car is bone stock by the way at this point. Just waiting on my E/C stuff to come.

If my 100k+ car had that happen I would drive it up Mercedes ***. (If it wasn't caused by insane driving)

I am on spead freaks side, post amount:time on forum means nothing! "FORUM" its in the name to discuss things in the open, not attack each other in the open. I havent owned a bmw for over 2 years now, yet i still spend time on 5series forums, just to see whats happening and chat. and it seem SPeedFreak uploaded some proof, that ought to shut some people up))

I'm sorry that the originator of this thread has had such rotten luck with his car. I'm on my second one and never had any major problems, even with the occasional track day on both of them. Sure, there have been issues, such as a leaking rear shock and a creaking noise from the driver's door that drives me insane, since I can't figure out where exactly it's coming from, but all in all, it's the best car I've ever owned. I'm looking forward to my next one, which might be the W217, or whatever the next CL is called.
