game over


I've bought my S65 (W221) in august 2007 and with only 42.000 km in less then 20 months my car has 12 stops for more then 4 months !!!
Problems with:
- distronic plus;
- dynamic seat;
- massage function;
- navigation unit;
- temperature signal;
- headrest;
Now I want my money back cause it's impossible pay for a car who stay more than 20% of it's life in the workshop.
Anyone has the same problems ?
I had a S420cdi (W221) before the S65 who has same problems (27 days off in 105 days !!!).

Your worst nightmare...
Looks like you were the lucky one who bought a nest full of problem. I'd ditch it and get myself another CPO'd car or one in a very good condition.

I'm guessing you mean W221
