3. In car telephone system sometimes not working
4. Battery only last for one year

I have an E270cdi.

You seem to have some serious electrical issues and need to take the car to a dealer.

I have had 2 batteries. But really the probelms stem from the fact that the car has a number of modules/relays which fail and draw power - they are a continual drain. This flattens the battery and a flat battery on start up can give you the brake failure warnings etc.

I have just had 2 of the units on my car changed - one was associated with the interior light, the other under the drivers seat.

The ones under the seat have failed before.

You would get the warning "electrical malfuntion, electrical consumers switched off".

No problems with shocks after 45000m

Good luck !

I think that once you start getting total brake failure youv'e got to admit to having a serious problem with your car and a trip to the dealers is a necessity.

kahaha

Thanks for your help.
The start up problem is not likely to the battery. When I ask the dealer how can this new car has this kind of problem.The answer is this kind of diesel engine car need to drive everyday other wise I have problem. Is this bull**** or what? I paid great deal of money to buy a LUXURY car. I think I have the right to drive when ever I want, don't I? Why should I drive this car everyday? Would you please give me some advice as well?
By the way, the mile clock is only close to 30000km. I have complaint the total brake failure to DCM. They agree to change the SBC for me. Before they change they did not tell me there is a problem with the shock absorber. They find out after they change the SBC, and they want me to pay the bill for the shock absorber now. Do you think this is reasonable?
Thank you for reply.!!

The problem happened when this E270 CDI close to one year old. I reported to dealer immediately, but they could not find out where was the problem. This car has been send back to service center several times. The service center just cannot find out where is the problem. That is why I complaint letter to DCM about 1.5 months ago. DCM want me to send the car back again and I did 1 month ago. But The situation is still the same, no problem found. I am not the only one who experience the total brake failure. My parents and I and even my father's secretory have the experience. Finally the DCM agree to change the SBC for me. When they try to do the test after they change, they tell me the shock absorber is not working properly and need to change. but since the warranty period is passed, I need to pay for it. .....
I really need some advice on this.
If you can provide some, it will be very appreicated.

And US Federal (MM) law as well.

What are your laws, any help from big brother over there?

What country are you in? don't they have lemon laws?

kahaha

I am in Malaysia. I am not local therefore I don't know the law here. I assume you guys suggesting me to find a lawer, don't you. I mean if DCM still want me to pay for the shock absorber.
I am also seeking for car expert. Is the duration of shock absorber so short? The car is only 2.5 years old and the mileage is only 30000km.

2.5 years old and 30000km, costs 5-7 times more than the same car in the US.. and is OUT OF WARRANTY??? Thank God I'm American!

kahaha

Warranty Period only 2 years
the car cost about 450K / 3.85 = 116k USD
You are lucky!!!!!
