in shop@400 miles

So car threw a code this morning, said bring to workshop. Would not go into any menu or dynamic setup. They had to disconnect batteries for a few hours then reflashed. Code was U 111029. Supposedly was a transport code, my sa said it sat for so long that it generated it. The joy of a new car

Sometimes I think I'm just gonna stick to buying used cars like I've done for the most part in the past. What I've been thinking about is the hit I'm gonna take on this car the first couple years of
ownership in depreciation, but nope had to have the latest and greatest, lol. Hopefully that code will not come back again, chances are it won't.

Im generally an early adopter with most of my Benzes (GTS and C63S coupe being the latest) but this car just might scare me away. Ive heard of 3 instances now where the car is back in the shop and while this is situational- there is a possible stop sale on all cars at the lots too (Im getting more details on if this is legit or not and why).

Stop sale??? I've never even heard of that before. You mean to tell me they're going to halt sales of the E63S that were delivered/shipped???

Keep us in tune please... on the stop ship. If they find an issue, they usually try and fix them before getting into the hands of customers and potentially causing a bigger dis-satisfier.
