My car staled again today- I just had it there for service!
I am really getting annoyed- I have had 10 cars in my life and this is my first car that I got on my own-
I have had so many problems with it- and I took it in for serivce 2 weeks ago- I told them it staled and I almost got creamed by a street cleaning truck- this morning it stales again!
it's not even 2 years old- I heard from a girl who used to work at a dealership that my car model has had electrical issues
I just want to give it back and get something else- I am going to call the service guy now- and then if I am not happy - the owner of the dealership!

Re: My car staled again today- I just had it there for service!
they are looking for a loaner
I told the service manager this car does not live up to what a mercedes should be-
and it really doesn't- I think a new M class truck would make me feel better

Re: My car staled again today- I just had it there for service!

Re: My car staled again today- I just had it there for service!
Beth, my father and fh always say that with really high end cars, leasing is the way to go bc they are horrible after a couple of years and to fix them is over the roof.
So at least you leased. With these problems being documented, Im sure there is a way you can get out of your lease. Just be persistant.
Toyota and Lexus are the same manufactering company.....
Completely recommend them. Even their leather is more plush and soft than the mercedes.
I have a toyota solara now(no problems ever) that I own but by next year want to go lease the Lexus 330.

Scott- do you know what could be causing this?
I was told too late about the eletrical problems ( I met a girl who worked a the dealership in bayside)
I just feel like if so many people know there are problems - why don't they know how to fix it?????????

Re: My car staled again today- I just had it there for service!
I am sorry - I wish I could tell you I knew what was causing your problems....If the car is stalling out, it could be a number of things...Let me do a little research and I will see if I find anything about your car.
What year is it?

Re: My car staled again today- I just had it there for service!
I found this article from consumer affairs
This website dedicated to complains about the C class benz
A paragraph from that page:
I am having major issues with my C230 (2002). Problems with the transmission, A/C, heating, powersteering, stalling). Currently has 27k miles.
Runs rough in the morning, stalls sometimes- most days just barely stalls, shakes terribly when reversing.
Oxygen sensors may be causing your problem

I think it means you should only go forward in life and never look back.
Sorry Beth, I know it was really BAD but I have cornered the market on cheesy philosophy.

Re: My car staled again today- I just had it there for service!
thanks Scott and Goldi
and I forgot to add the sunroof never closes all the way unless I hold the buttom- it's been there 3 times for that
I hope I can resolve this with them- I would now like an SL500 sure right- Jake would kill me

I would give them hell until they give you another car for 2 yrs or let you out of your lease.

Re: My car staled again today- I just had it there for service!
contact MB head Quarters - not just the dealer
How many miles on the car? Can it be considered a lemon?

Re: My car staled again today- I just had it there for service!
that's my plan- I printed everything Scott sent me
and I going in there with all of it- and telling them they can give me the M class or I am calling 7 on your side etc
they know when I was unhappy last year I went to the owner- who personally called me- they know I mean business
they have till 4pm to call me back!
