final days of warrenty...

side bolster for the driver seat, fixed.
pulse feature had missing air inflators, fixed.
in for ventilation fan(s) today.

is there anything that I should get them to look at?

What about wheel decals? the center caps are looking weathered. Would that be covered...I would like to think so.

thx

Warranty is warranty - Get the center caps replaced. I forgot to do mine before it expired.

I would literally go over every single item that you think can possibly be wrong. Any slight thing that irks you get it fixed. Since once they fix or replace it, that item is covered against defect etc. for a certain amount of time even after the warranty is up. Good luck

kudos to you for following up on the details. Faded wood is an obvious one. Deformed soundproofing in engine compartment (but that may have been fixed by your model year).

Curious about your issue with the massage feature and the ventilated seats? Were they not working at all or just a partial failure? I can tell mine are working but maybe I am missing something.

Anything related to suspension especially if you have airmatic.
I got my air pump replaced on E550 during final week of warranty.

Are all COMAND features working correctly? Is BlueTooth working properly - on your end and the receiving?
I would type out a list to hand to the SA and keep a copy for yourself.
Be prepared though. "Wear and Tear" are not covered by warranty.

Any other items you can think of?

Mine expires in 400 miles and 10 days. 2013 E550 4matic

I am having them look at a transmission shift issue, trim fade, headlight V's, door panel leather on one door had an odd hole in it, center wheel caps.

Everything else looks solid unless the team can think of something.

Make sure they check the battery. Mine died at four years and one week and neither dealership nor MBUSA would give me any credit toward the $300 replacement battery. If it had died at exactly four years, would have gotten a new battery for no cost.

Request they check all the firmware in the car. Unless a customer asks or has a complaint, they do not upgrade it. Transmission shifting and COMAND are the two that had never been done on mine (which I want to be, but is going to cost a few hours labor)... silly.

Well I just the car off with a list of items to fix. I will report back what they cover and do not cover.

The wood trim they did say was on ultra long back order so that will be interesting.
