oh why but why?

it seems like everyone here has some sort of a problem with their car electronics

clk cd faded out twice yesterday.. why ?????? why?????

i m getting sick tired of this minor problems that mbz have.



on my previous s500 i alwayd had bouncing window problem

on this clk i had same problem and twice already i have expereinced CD problem

well for the ml no problem yet

i wonder why would a mercedes have this kinda minor problems?

i mean they are expensive, shouldnt they at least be headache free?

i don know bout the rest of you but if mercedes doesnt do anything bout their electronic they will sure loose one loyal client..

thanks
g

The worst is not comming yet!!

I have my car for 879 days and back to dealer hundred times. It was minor problems in the beginning and the situation is getting worse after third year (like dashboard cracks), but I still love my CLK, Ha!!! Let's do the group Lemons return.

benzos are like women....they need constant attention.....little things always seem to be wrong....but boy do they drive good!!!!

i hate all the nagging problems but what else is there on the market?

i heard bimmers are just as bad if not worse.....

porsches are too damn uncomfortable for everday use.....bentleys are too damn expensive.....so we are only left with one possibility....and that is a benz.....so live with the problems i must.....just like living with women only we can trade the benzo in for a newer model....as for the women....well i'll leave that up to your imaginination....

I have problems with my power windows and speakers but was never taken to the dealer and have em fixed because they wouldn't let me get a loaners car(I'm 18). Now I have problems with the fuse, do you know if the dealer will fix that for free? *note that I didn't do anything to it*

yeah...I'll tell you what.

BMW's start to fall appart as soon as the warranty expires.

My 5 series was doing the "spend $600.00 every few months" thing so I finally got rid of it.

There comes a time when you just have to cut bait.
