Distronic Problems
Hello all,
I just bought my 2010 e550 a couple weeks ago and was wondering if any one has had problems with their distronic feature. I took it to the dealer because the error message kept coming up on the dash. They tried to fix it, but ended up having to order the part. So in 5 days I have to bring it back to the dealer to have them install it. I guess this part is coming from Germany. This is my first Benz and I hope it doesn't have any other future problems. Not that I'm rellying on the distronic to stop the car, but it's nice to know that in the event of an emergency the car will stop by itself.

If you think this is the last problem you will have then I have a bridge to sell you.....real cheap.
Seriously, most people don't buy Benzes for their reliability. They buy them for the style, the history, the status, the ride and some cases the performance.
If you want reliabilty get a Lexus.

Those are 18s, but that's actually my E350. I still have to put up a new picture of the 550, but it basically looks the same, just with the Sahara Beige interior. Thanks for the compliment, they are really one of my favorite Mercedes wheel designs ever.

most techno-packed car around, and most of it is safety related. The problem is
that all that software is complicated and the dealers have little support form the
arrogant / complacent / incompetent importer.
