I'm new to this site. I've been researching cars for my next purchase and am very close to selecting a new S-Class. However, I'm a bit surprised by the number and type of service bulletins for this car that range from cosmetic (e.g., radio, interior lights, etc) to more serious (e.g., cannot start engine, cannot open lock to enter car, trunk opens on its own, etc).

My perception seems to coincide with the enclosed JD Power initial 90 day survey of 2015.

http://www.jdpower.com/cars/study/20...emium-Car/1037

From what I've read, my understanding was that MB was taking steps to improve quality, and that it had actually made significant improvements over the past few years.

Do you feel MB is actually taking constructive steps to improve quality, particularly for the S-Class? And, for those who actually own the W222, are you afforded quality service by the dealership you bring your car to for maintenance and repairs?

Love the car, but wonder if MB is doing a good enough job to put quality above profit.

Hi Konigstiger,

I'm new to this. How do I determine which SB affects my vin? (WDDUG8CB8EA007083)

Thanks in advance.

konigstiger

Search this thread for complaint for instance “rattle” then filter applicable bulletin(s) by model year, VIN, etc. relative your vehicle. For MBUSA recalls enter VIN here: https://www.mbusa.com/mercedes/recall

Konigstiger,

Thanks for helping. I'm still confused on how to decipher if the SB pertain to my car.

Thanks in advance,

Konigstiger,


Do you know how I can get my hands on the actual TSB Service Campaign 2016110001 DEC16 – 2015-2017 222, 217, 205, 253 relays in the rear fuse /relay module may not correspond to specifications affecting switch-on behavior as a result vehicle may not be able to be started. Dealer will replace. Approximately 23,835 vehicles affected?


My dealer performed this today and did some damage to my rear entertainment system ( I have the four place seating with the tray tables). I am trying to figure out if they had to get into the trunk.


Thanks in advance of how I might get a copy of what the dealer does in this service campaign. I just got the car home a couple of hours ago and notice they broke the one hinge to the cover that goes over the compartment where the dvd/refrigerator goes.

Circuit 15 relay has to do with battery (see attachment), if replaced loss of power may require Xentry diagnostics to restore proper function.

Thanks

So did I. Mostly gone now. Look for the post by Konigstiger for the fix, maybe a year or 18 months ago.
