E53 Wagon
Faults found during E53 PDI - Advice and Opinions please
Hello everyone!
I'm new to the forum and still waiting to take delivery of my first Mercedes. I ordered an E53 wagon in March, and it arrived at the dealership in May. While going through PDI in May, the dealer discovered that there was no power going to the left side of the steering wheel and the wheel needed to replaced with a new one from the factory. Fast forward to today and the second PDI and, while the new steering wheel seems to be working, the stereo-optic camera module is no longer talking to the CPU. So, delivery delayed again. I'm growing concerned that there might be a systematic problem on this new car.
Do any of you have thoughts/comments on this issue and the potential overall reliability of the car? I'm considering refusing delivery and ordering a new E53 instead of taking this one, which is starting to smell lemony.
Thanks!!!
