2005 CLK 500 Coupe
The siren went off for no reason. I took my car to 2 indy shops, they said they didn't want to change the alarm for me because it linked to lots of area, and asked me to go back to dealership and they installed the latest version of alarm.

2003 CLK 500
125,000 miles
tranny replacement 35,000 < probably a fluke and I got a 2005 tranny design free!
rear right bearing replaced 40,000 miles
center armrest cover broken twice and replaced.
passenger seat foward position issues - not fixed. removed passanger sun visor for now.
cup holder broken - not fixed.
left xenon headlight periodically fails to level correctly - not fixed.
I guess all in all not too many problems over 7 years.

same here, when I had my 02 clk320, that guy was drunk at 6pm on the busy freeway and hit me w/o brake. After the accident, I keep telling people I would have died if I didn't drive a MB.

2006 CLK350 Cabriolet
76,500mi. Still under the CPO warranty. Just replaced the AC condessor. Appeared to be a significant job as it took an entire day, so I'm glad I didn't have to pay! No other big issues since buying the car 18mo ago with 21,500mi. Both headlights have been replaced. Now and then the seatbelt presenter will repeatedly cycle in and out when I start the car, but I cannot make it happen for the dealer.
