AMG pack w/Parktronic: a case study of MBUSA's ignorance

Last week, MBUSA authoritatively declared that the Parktronic system is not available with the AMG package, even though there's a picture of an actual car and more cars like this are sitting on the lots. I think, the real story here is about some sort of engineering screw up that they are not trying to cover up. I really don't get it this time...

I am not too happy with my ML350, overall. Problem after another problem. My 1st and, most likely, my last experience with the Mercedes once my lease is up. Daimler Chrysler baby. LOL...

I hate that for you, but i think you're in the minority...my father is on his fifth M-class, the latest a new ML320CDI (traded an 06 ML350), and none, not one of them, has ever had a problem.

Lol.. I hear ya. I think this as well might be my last Mercedes. I don't know about yourself, but I've had my shares of problems as well. Had my CD player jammed two times, my free 1 year Tele-Aid subscription has still not been activated (Dealer's fault I guess), had a busted bushing, SRS light went off, had a rattle by the rear passenger pillar(where the seat-belt is located) which was supposedly a problem in the chasis and was fixed but now it occurs again, still have a problem with the lift-gate not closing completely, and thats all I can think of from the top of my head. But all in all, thank god its a lease; I'm counting down my months..
