Wow. I'm sure by now the engineers at Mercedes AG are having a fit about the quality of the USA parts suppliers. Airmatic pumps, door handles, steering pump pins etc.
Hope we don't loose the Vance assembly plant because of these issues.

Are you certain the these items are made by US vendors in the US?? Doubt if they would discontinue a plant due to some relatively minor vendor discrepancies. Perhaps they will change vendors.
