What could possibly be the next repair
I have a 2011 Bluetec with 38,000 miles.
This car has had every issue this model suffers from
(I hope) and wonder what other common issues could be ahead.
Thus far;
DEF Heater (warranty)
Oil Cooler Gasket (warranty)
Accelerator assembly (warranty)
Transmission re-program (warranty)
Faded wood trim (warranty)
EGR Pipe, Cooler, Valve, Flap,Temp sensor (good will repair (THANK-GOODNESS))
The latest (expected) is the selector knob on the Nav/Radio
I'll do the transmission service in 2K miles but at this point I'm not sure I'll keep it. In the past 8 months the car has been out of service for 29 days as the issues have been dealt with.
Wondering if there are any other common failures that could rear their ugly head in the upcoming months/years

Sorry to hear of all of these problems for you? I'm not to familiar with the Bluetec versions of MB but this seems to be an outlier and not common for these cars from what I've read. Maybe someone else with more experience can be of better assistance. Regardless, good luck going forward.

When I was doing my research before buying my '12, I read that the '11 had horrible reliability. The 2010, 2012, and 2013 were all ranked the best used luxury vehicle for safety, reliability, and all around best value. Notice it dropped out of the ranks for the 2011 model.
Sorry to hear you're having trouble man. Not fun dealing with car trouble especially with an expensive vehicle.
