I have concerns about both of the extended warranty plans. It appears neither of them cover the expensive failures I have experienced that fortunately were covered by the policy that I had which expired about six months ago. Unfortunately, the policy I had is no longer being offered.

Failures were in the seat air bladders in both front seats. Cost of repair was about $6000. Also had a failure in the electronics that interface to the steering wheel switches which was about $500. I have ABC suspension system and had a hydraulic hose fail. Repair cost was close to $900 which also included replacement of fan belt which was saturated with hydraulic fluid.

It also appears that these policies do not cover the Comand electronics which includes the GPS, radio, CD/DVD, etc.

$3200 for 5 years coverage is very reasonable with the caveat of what is not covered.

I highly recommend you ask your local Mercedes dealers about their experience in filing claims with these companies and only select a company that your local dealers are able to work with.
