That's GREAT coverage.... I'm pleased to see it.
Obviously, they don't have the latest info on the E55 reports. My last update of the spreadsheet shows a total of 80 E55's with official ODI numbers logged with NHTSA. It's going to be awfully hard to explain this away as "damage from incorrect recall service" for that many cars..... unless they insist that their dealers (and service techs) are grossly incompetent.
Thanks to all of you on MBWorld for keeping the pressure on, and for pestering the membership here to file official ODI claims with NHTSA. I know at times it seems pointless, but the sheer numbers of complaints logged will eventually force MB-USA to respond in a more meaningful way.

I just went into Photobucket and made sure all my pics have good "tags" on them so that people searching for Google Images will find lots of relevant and scary stuff too.

We'll have to see what happens. It seems like a pretty big explosion in reporting and the fact that NHTSA announced it was expanding its investigation to include 250,000 cars (last Friday) makes the story a lot bigger than it had been previously.
Fingers crossed!

I'm glad finally we are getting coverage. And that nhtsa are looking at 250,000 and not just the few hundred complaints. It's going to expand to other class cars I'm sure if they use he same parts. But I think instead of designing new part, mb will settle w each owner $xxxxx
