Owned a brand new 2007 mercedes slk 280 and the transmission was pushing and pulling to the point that it went out and had to be completely replaced; and ultimately, it was a 'buy-back.' afterwards, i had another new mercedes 280, now a 2008, and the transmission went out on that one too.big mistake on my part; what are the odds that another new one would go bad?the mercedes 7 speed automatic transmissions was a complete nightmare experience for me.since 2008, every time i see a mercedes slk, i sometimes attempt to take a moment and ask the driver of the car: "hey, how's the transmission?"

The convertible hard top hydraulic system start to leak oil to driver and passenger seat. The hard top does not move and difficult to close. I have received notification from several owners that it is a current problem of all vehicles of models. This is an unsafely problem, since the hard top, rear glass and trunk has problem to belocked completely. Apparently the mercedes benz manufacturer know that the hydraulic cylinders seals fail, once the mineral oil lose its property. This mean that hydraulic system get not protected after such oil is inappropriate to protect the seal, resulting on leaking and car finish without protection,. If it happen when it is snowing or raining or far away, it will become in a potential safety harmful problem for the drivers and passengers.i requested a service to mercedes benz and the answer vwas the repair will be almost $ 5000.00merceds benz should repair all the hydraulic system for hard top under a recall.
