I leased the car as new in 1997 for 3 years. Last august, 2000, i purchased the vehicle outright. One month ago, i started getting water leaking under the dashboard, passenger side when it rained. Dealership states it not a reported defect, which i have doubts to be true. Mercedes took my complaint, but they told me it was an outside t caused that, likewind and rain. This rain shorted the srs (supplemental restraint system, ie. Airbags) which the box is located under the passenger seat, and i had electric seats! pay $40,000. For a (supposedly) quality car and all they can do is unclog the drain holes, so this could happen again!! ridiculous. The issue presents a safetyproblem whereby the airbags will not activate in an accident! this to me, is a manufacturer's defect. And there is no warning of this in the vehicle manuals.
The message panel continues to intermittantly signal light defective even after several attempts to fix.
Engine continually stalling, repairs made however were not the cause of failures.
Dealyed transmission engagement whenrapid acceleration and trying to activate reverse gear.
Driver was injured in collision; seatbelt worked as designed.
Vehicle will sometimes not accelerate from a stop sign.
Sunroof leaked.
Windshield failure.
