I purchase a 2003 CLK500 with 38000 miles. Im wondering if the factory warranty is still good since it was purchased 12/5/2003, I thought it was a 4 year/50,000 mile warranty? Am I correct? If so what is covered, the transmission seems to be acting funny, hope it is covered cause I have a feeling it could be costly!

 

your covered til 12/2007 or 50k miles. Tranny is definitely covered...what kind of problems are u having? I had my tranny replaced at 40k miles under warranty when i noticed what i can only describe as clutch slipping.

 

What else does the Warranty cover?

 

the tranny feels like its skipping, like a jerks inbetween gears. It does this at around 30- 40 mph, and it does it sometimes on the highway at like 65-70 even on cruise control? Does it sound like the tranny is going bad?

 

I had that problem too and it was the radiator contaminating the tranny fluid. I ended up having to replace the radiator, torque converter and the tranny. Thank god it was covered under warranty. This appears to be a common problem; if you do a search, there are others out there that has had the same experience.

 

Will this problem happen again if the parts are replaced since they will use the same parts? Yea thank god for the warranty, too bad I didnt buy it new so I could get a loaner car! Wonder how long it will take to get these parts replaced?

 

same here...had that exact problem and had everything replaced under warranty. Fluid was leaking into the tranny.

I asked the mechanic, and he said that they replace a hose that cracks and leaks into the tranny.

Shouldnt happen again was wat i was told.

If i remember correctly, took 3 days to get my car back. Ran like new with a new tranny.

car has over 50k miles..was replaced around 30k ...no problems !

 

Ditto with me... I had the same experience and the car runs a lot smoother now.

Regardless of new or previously enjoyed, MBUSA stopped providing free loaners... In Canada they just give you a B200 Turbo regardless of vehicle you brought in...
