Mercedes responder told me i had inoperative "dead" key. Car of course was inoperative. No way to move car from area. Could not secure car. I had rbmin atlanta on cell phone entire time.about hour later someone took me to my home for spare key. This worked. Key was as mercedes responder told me...... Dead. The mercedes keys are unsafe and undependable. Need to be recalled. Mercedes would not replace "dead" key per kyrus frames at rbm in atlanta. Because my car had 57000 miles on it and out of warranty.key must be recalled due to safety concernthere is no way to operate a "dead" key.mercedes responder told me that he sees it all the time.what if??? i had been miles from home? unsafe area? compromising situation?this is unacceptable for $100,000 car.

I got a blow out in the rear left side tire.i was doing about 40 mph and did not go over anything that i was aware of.i went to change the tire using the supplied tire and jack.the jack was very flimsy and after i raised the vehicle the jack flipped over causing damage to my car, however i narrowly avoided personal injury.there is a plate under the vehicle at the jack contact point which also broke off the vehicle when the jack rolled over.the following are the defects i believe exist.1.the jack is extremely flimsy and is difficult to set properly on the ground.2.the jack plate on the car apparently is also not very stable.3. The handle on the jack is very short and requires an extreme amount of strength to lift car. (no leverage)4. The lug wrench is also very short and requires a lot of strength to loosen bolts, there is absolutely no leverage.i estimate the damage to my vehicle, which i blame on the defective jack to be about $750.00.

There has not been any external gas leakage or performance issues with the car. Only the gas ordor that has given me a headache and makes me nauseated. The car only has 70,000 miles on it.
Mercedes benz, s550, 4matic, 2008. I was stopped at a red light.when the light turned green and i was moving forward at about 15-20 miles per hour, the car came to a sudden stop.the vehicle behind me almost ran into my back since there were no brake lights illuminated when this unfortunate malfunction took place.i immediately looked the control panel for any malfunction alarm and there were none.the root cause of the problem was front differential seize up without any warning.there were the right amount of oil in the reservoir so the problem was no due to lack of lubrication.the car was repaired by mb dealer and i was given a bill for (hold on to your pants) $8,252.i called mb customer service to find out if there are any recall on this malfunction.i was told none reported.i have a hard time believing that i am the only one with this problem.i almost came to a decision to sign over the title and have them sell the car to recover the repair cost.obviously the dealer is not at fault here.however you would expect that a car of this caliber would be better designed and supported.as you have guessed i am unhappy with my mb.by the way if you are trying to sign on for mb online owner community and want tochoose the username "unhappy", you can't.it is already taken.try it with some #s.
