warranty question
I bought my car from California, its an 07 with 40000 miles. Now my question is, does my 4yr/50k warranty expire at the end of 2010? Also will a canadian mb dealer honor the warranty or do i have to drive across the border to take care of any issues?

Alright, thank you. The service D indicator came on so I figured when i get that done i should have them check to see if all the service bulletins have been taken care of.

Warr. Question
Do you know, from any prior service work or other means, the date it went into service? It's 48 months from then, as you know. My only thought is many "2007's" were on the road by October 24, 2006, for example.
As an aside, it appears you are not the first owner. As such, I have personally found M-B warranty folks won't budge a bit or even give you the time of day once the months/miles are eclipsed. I have driven M-B for nearly 25 years (new, leased, pre-owned) and found brand loyalty today means diddle to them, if looking for "help" after warr. expiration. I had six months time, but over miles. Even the tone of the "no" was not kind. Get everything you can find done w/in the written warranty.

Warr. Query
Check the final didgits of the VIN. Mine is a Designo Launch; 118135 off the line. At 53000 miles I had to replace the motor mounts. Bad vibration in the 1200-1700 rpm range, plus "shudder" or vibration between transmission and engine when coming to a stop. I figured it out with help of this forum and Service Advisories found here. Stealership reps said it only needed a tranny and transaxle fluid change for $700 to fix vibration. Uh huh.
Watch outs? Both main "bladders" in the active contour seats are shot/leaking. M-B said "see ya" when I asked for warr. help. I had a launch S500 and a 2001 S430, 1995 S320 and 1989 E320 since the late '80's. So far, overall headaches on this platform fewer, but surely costlier.

Request VMI (vehicle master inquiry) from MB dealer and this will pull up any warranty work performed (i.e.: recalls, service campaigns, etc.) and confirm in service date.
