Just finished replacing the 4rth ABS sensor, car has 9K miles

while fighting with the harness bracket, I noted this incredible mounting choice for the Trailing arm bushing

Enjoy the "AMG" experience

Another example of MB = low quality manufacturer.

Yea, learned that after the fact, in the merc dealer world, if youre not looking at an S class, you just don't matter.

I wonder, during an A service, if they don't bother actually replacing the Items listed for billing to MB on the service ticket, with an S class, they way they did not replace items on My GLA on 2 occasions, at 2 FL dealers.


I'm from Streamwood, have a 19 as well. we should compare notes

I've been away for a while... Totalled my '19 GLA45 and replaced it with a '19 GLA45. Pretty similar, but with the aero package and a few more miles. The MB dealer I got the new one from is atrocious. Every department is full of total sleazeball scammers. It's been almost 5 months since I bought the car from them and I'm still dealing with them. The dealer I got the last one from in FL was a little bit slimey, but pretty quickly made everything right.

My latest notes: The IL dealer broke the wire harness protection behind the steering wheel airbag when they were replacing a paddle shifter that was broken before the sale. I noticed this because my horn was hard to activate. After 5 months and 3 visits, they refused to acknowledge that there was any issue at all. I took the car to another dealer who found the broken harness mount and noticed that the WIRES GOING TO THE AIRBAG are chaffed and the insulation is worn through. Now my airbag might go off at any time or might not activate when it needs to.

Really great service.
