Love the car but some issues!

Here are some issues I have from my 04 clk 320 Brill silver on Black. Had the car for 2 weeks and its at 1350 miles.

1. Pull to the right
2. fm am reception sometimes good sometimes bad
3. One of the AC vent sliding knobs light is out
4. Driver side mirror vibrates from road conditions during freeway ride
5. AC issues, AC takes a while to kick in,, Sometimes not at all untill played with
6. CD player sound sometimes sound very midrangie,,like a concert hall.

Anyone with similar problems please comment?

Pull to the right........seems like everyone has that one. Don't think there is a real fix.

Crappy radio........again normal. Unfortunately, change system and speakers is only cure!

AC vent light.......easy warranty fix.

AC not kicking in.....get that fixed under warranty.

CD player........this might help (kinda worked for me) turn up the bass and the treble, then set the speakers so that 60 to 70% is in the rear speakers. Mess around with the settings..I have mine set on "Driver".

Hope this helps somewhat.

Pullin to the right ...

I also had that "pulling to the right" issue last year, but the problem seems to have corrected itself. I spoke to a friend about it and he said its not uncommon for alignment to fix itself if its not that wacked out to begin with.

Pulling to the right...

Isnt that probably because the tires grip the road so much and the road angles down towards the right?

Just a thought?
