CE750

So I'm driving fat dumb and happy Sat to go pick up my new Mountain Bike and the SRS fail message comes up... so I call the dealer which is open Sat Morn and ask what to do.. she said bring it in Mon AM... and to just drive it, as it's prolly just a technical glitch and not a failure of the SRS.

Take it in this AM, and they say that the cables came loose and that it's a "known issue" and the part is on a 2 month back order.. Wow?

So we skimped on the SBC cables first, and now the SRS? Shame.. Shame.. all in the name of cost cutting!

I am told MB learned their lesson with this new S.. time will tell I guess, but I sure hope they did.. sad that the world premier car maker was temporarily insane like this.

Note to all Lexus trolls: Still love the car!

I had the same problem at 4000 miles. Dealer told me its common.

HELL ONA HARLEY

Glad to hear your dealer had a handle on it... Not sure what to make about the two month back ordered part though....

So what cable came loose? If I'm in the wilds of Canada, I'd like to know what to do to fix it.

Also, does anyone know if there is a TSB on this problem so I can ask to have it installed the next time I'm at the dealer?

I'm almost attempted to take my old reliable 300E on vacation. It was 12 years before it had a problem that required me to take it to a dealer.

I resemble that remark!

I have some extra bailing wire and duct tape if you want to borrow them. Hell, you can even keep them when your done!

I think we should plan a trip to Germany to pick up the parts. Some beer, some loud music halls, more food than we can handle, and some car parts...nothing finer!

CE750

there is no official recall guys, but I would recommend you take the car in and "claim" that it happened to you and then went away, as that is also a normal symptom.. mine just happened to come loose for good.. This way they can order the part which will obviously take a while, and at lest you can have the peace of mind of knowing you have the newer better part in, and not be a ticking timebomb for that SRS to fail when you need it... Didn't Dan's (Konigstiger) SRS fail when he was hit?

konigstiger

Not a recall but rather a DTB: P-B-91.60/99a JAN06 – SRS Light Illuminated, covers models years ’04 & ’05 and replaces the Airbag line to Steering Column Module (SCM) harness.

BTW, the part(s) are in critical supply and an associated fault code needs to be recorded (i.e.: SRS warning) before MB will reimburse the dealer.

Hey, was that you traveling east on Shea Friday morning?

CE750

good info Dan, and good advise to get your car looked at.

I was in that area leaving my accountants' office. Were you in that silver CLS at the intersection of Shea & Tatum facing west?..

konigstiger

Damn, there's another one?

Actually 130th & Shea traveling west - just picked up my Dad from Fountain Hills and waiting for the light.

Fabulous shine! In fact that’s what drew my attention. So in putting it all together - the shine, the broad in the front passenger seat yelling at the driver ; the driver not paying any attention to the broad looking around at others as if to say “What the hell are you looking at?” with left arm rigid and hand gripping the wheel while waiting for the light ; and lastly the CDI badge in my rear view mirror I said to myself that had to be Sam.

CE750

LMFAO!

CE750

BTW Dan, that was actually on Thursday morn... We were driving to the Bee Line to go up to Payson and check out Summer homes.. Since we didn't really get a proper winter this year, we're thinking it's going to be one hell of a summer this time!

Small world! We should get coffee one day you and I!

PHXATC

You two need a room.

CE750

You can come to the coffee too? I can give you more dirt on the CE750 nose up issue.. not fit for print!

PHXATC

Oooh, a threesome, I like it! Just kidding!

I would love to. Disclaimer, though, I have wacky working schedules, I volunteer at my daughter's school, coach her soccer team (2x practice a week, games on Sat), and am 3 pages behind in the honey-do list!

Yes, yes, yes, I would be interested in the dirt on the X without nose gear incident. Mmmmmmmmmm......

CE750

yup, sure excuses, excuses...

anyway, let's just say the nose gear is MX related.. as for why they landed when they did, etc.. that's a mystery still??

konigstiger

First and foremost, this guinea doesn’t go that way! How anyone can find a hairy *** attractive is beyond me. OH!!

konigstiger

Yes there will be coffee one day, maybe when we’re all invited up Sam’s summer home or better yet, when Jenna’s new joint clears on the May ballot - only stipulation, Sam's buying.

CE750

I always said the same thing,... I mean maybe you have to be gay to understand it, but contrast a perfectly shaped women's *** to a man's and there is no comparison! One is artwork only God can produce, and the other is a shapeless, large muscle attached to a set of legs..

Yes.. I'll buy... I've said it before, just pick a starbucks in SDL... and a time.

PHXATC

You are scaring me now.

There's nothing getting all hopped up on a latte, then pulling smoky burnouts in konigstiger's CLS at the parking lot entrance, followed up by some torquey tire spinning launches in CE750's diesel beast, to get a feel for the day!

Maybe I'll just stick with the coffee!

ultraseven

good Lord, I hope you don't need that snazzy balloon in these two months.
