| 29000 mi US $650 |
Two injectors and a injection coil gone bad |
| 29650 mi US $1200 |
Dealer repaired bank 1, fuel injector 5 and 6 were not working and ignition coil 5 was out. after 400 miles of driving, check engine light popped up and dealer identified that fuel injector for cylinder 2 & 3 are not working causing misfire. Dealer wanted to drop the tank @ my cost of $1500, and after that any parts required, will be extra. On top of that the injector for 2 & 3 will not be covered, which was another $1750. Plus god knows what other issues they identify and slap the bill on me. So, I personally purchased fuel injectors from the dealer and replaced it, to find the care running smoothly as ever. |

Front tires needed replacement after getting worn out from the inside edges due to bad alignment. It is a repeat "feature" - the car seems to eat either the front set of tires or the rear one. Driven 8 miles daily. No harsh turns or breaks whatsoever. But the issue keeps on coming up in 8-10K miles. And its either the front set or the rear. Car is always dealer maintained and all reports show alignment as correct and other components working as required. IF anything is off, i get it replaced immediately. This is my wife's daily driver and I don't like her or kids stranded on road side so I maintain it religiously. |

They replaced that $12.00 part for $366.00 in labor. However, it again went off at 4:20 a.m. some days later. As the problem has not occurred while the car has been in the shop, they are unable to determine the cause and fix it. I will have to disconnect the battery when I go on a two-week trip coming up.

ESP failure alarm constantly coming up with related tyre pressure sensor inoperative. Suspension becomes harsh while failure showing. Steering angle sensor failure in this case. Could also have been brake light switch or a wheel speed sensor. Removed and replaced steering angle sensor with second hand unit. New Mercedes part unreasonably priced for what it is. I can now advise the the old unit was in fact serviceable. Stripped it down, cleaned it and retested it and it works just fine. Simple job but must be done carefully. Many video's online to follow. |
| 89900 mi R 17000 |
Gearbox in limp mode. Bump into drive and reverse. Will not change out of 2ND gear. Speed sensor on Contact plate failed. Contact plate replaced with reconditioned unit. This was a fail.
