Smile New CL550 Owner (Maryland)

I am a former owner of a 2000 E320 and a 2007 CLS550, and now a 2011 CL550 with CPO. I look forward to talking to the members and hopeful being able to contribute when I can. Right now I am working with the dealership out here (Mercedes Benz of Owings Mills, former R and H Motors) to resolve the issues I am having with the multi-contour / dynamic seats (both driver and passenger) sporadically working and the rear headrests sporadically staying stuck in the upright position.


So far they have replaced the bladders in both seats and supposedly re-flashed the COMMAND, but again after about 10-20 minutes of driving the dynamic seat functions either completely stop functioning (massage and bolstering) or sporadic stop and start again. I appreciate any insight or help that can given to get these two issues resolved. Otherwise, the car is absolutely amazing.

Welcome to MBWorld! She looks like a beauty. How do you like her compared to your old CLS?

Don't get me wrong, I loved my CLS 550, but the CL 550 is just on a whole other level from amenties, comfort, and performance. Hell, the Harmon Kardon system is honestly of a higher fidelity and in my opinion needs no upgrade or tweaks.

Awesome. Yeah, she's in a different class for sure.

Let us know if we can help you out with some more modern white lighting for her if you ever decide to upgrade.
