http://consumerguideauto.howstuffwor...benz-clk-2.htm
And very importantly have any of you experienced firsthand or anecdotally any of the trouble spots they mention?

I've had the following happen to mine:
"Transmission leak: Transmission fluid leaks from the electrical connector and may also travel through the wires to the electronic control unit requiring the connector and necessary O-rings be replaced. 2003)"

MBWorld Fanatic!
That site is a joke. A "clutch" is $915? In a CLK? LOL. And the CV joints are $4500? At a dealer, MSRP for a complete axle is $850. Times, two, makes labor about $1K per hour? Other than BlackBenzz, who else is breaking axles?

knocking on wood ... none of these happened to me so far ... the only problem i had was the R headlight needed to be replaced (the module not the bulb) and was covered under warranty.

2005 CLK55 AMG CABRIOLET
i had the same problem, fixed under warranty at no charge.
no i'm starting to have "Electrical issues", which may all be related:
1. SRS malfunction is lit on dash
2. Passenger seatbelt arm does not move at all
3. Driver seat headrest won't move
4. Driver seat won't release using latch to access rear seat
i have another issue which the dealer has tried to fix several times but without success.....when making a left turn something is rubbing in the passenger front wheel area causing a speed sensitive ticking noise.

Fourml8r, when did you start having these problems? My used 05 cab just came in today and I'm wondering of extended warranty is needed.
