Mercedes-Benz E-Class in Florida, United States Nov 2014 - Dec 2017
Jun 2015 10000 mi	AC not cooling car. Dealer found AC hose leaking. Replaced, recharged. Still not cooling well. AC randomly goes to FULL HEAT in the middle of a Florida summer. Been to the shop THREE times now, still a problem Transmission clunks when shifting from 3->2. Taken to the dealer 3 times, still not right. Taking it back in again this week. Rattle from instrument cluster, B-pillar, rear shelf hard drive squeals periodically Check Engine Light came on. Dealership says they updated software. Dealership didn't know what was wrong other than the light was on and they updated the software. Self-driving system and ECO start/stop were fighting with each other at red lights, causing the car to lurch forward and turn off brake lights. Not sure what the dealer did, but they actually managed to fix this.
Dec 2015 18000 mi	Not cooling sufficiently (still) Engine stalled out twice with car shifting 2-> AC goes to full heat automatically Hard drive squeaks -- replaced entire AV/NAV headend Transmission clunks. Since last time it only clunks shifting 4->3. They've tried numerous things. They have offered to buy back the car, as they have others for this, but I'd rather they just fix this one. Rear window shelf area still has rattle -- I finally localized it to the 3rd brake light cover...but still needs to be repaired. They tried felt-lining the instrument cluster (failed), replaced cluster (worked)
May 2016 25600 mi	They tried software updates... Worked well for 2 whole days... Rear shelf still rattling No-start. Car would energize the starter for a normal amount of time, but no ignition. Car seemed to think the engine was running when it wasn't. Replaced air shrouds, crankshaft sensor, more software updates Exterior mirrors squeal when motorized folding/unfolding Stereo system rebooted / lost settings overnight Radiator coolant fluid smell from outside vehicle. Replaced cap, replaced seals Rough idle / swaying back & forth motion of car ever since they updated the software. Bluetooth audio keeps cutting out. Problem started after a software update. Now they've been replacing parts, but not fixed. Bluetooth worked fine until software update was done to car 360 Degree Cameras periodically won't come on. Replaced camera module 2x, replaced car stereo
Dec 2017 47000 mi	Rear shelf became warped from heat of sun. Replaced. Motorized rear shade broke -- only one side would move AC goes to full heat by itself...even when full cool is selected All 3 batteries (Aux/Cabin, Transmission, Starter) replaced to address random electrical glitches. Ultimately, the car's power supply is unstable. If we "run" the car connected to mains power off a stable power source, everything in the car works normally. When the batteries in the car are replaced, all of the systems will be stable for awhile. Once the batteries start to age, the electrical gremlins start up again. This car has 3 batteries: 1) Starter/Main, 2) Aux, 3) Transmission. The Starter battery is your traditional setup. Once the engine's on, it starts charging the Aux battery. Once Aux is up to voltage, it switches most of the loads over to the Aux battery. The Aux battery is what keeps everything going during the ECO Start/Stop functions and also isolates the electronics from the wild voltage swings when the engine restarts. So they assumed... If there's any ripples on the Aux bus, everything goes to pot. The design might have worked, but they're using far too small of an auxiliary battery (probably for weight savings), so the battery's taking a beating and the systems never accounted for the aux bus being unstable. They also kind of forgot about voltage drop vs. wire resistance. Audio keeps cutting out. Started when the radio was "updated" due to problems with the 360 cameras. Car will sometimes crank but no ignition. Various systems updated, Crankshaft sensor replaced, all 3 batteries in the car replaced. Replacing the batteries made the problem go away for awhile, but it came back. Random electrical glitches in the car.

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.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class in West Virginia, United States Aug 2009 - Sep 2015
Oct 2009 80000 mi	During routine maintenance technician discovered a valve cover seeping. They are supposedly contacting my extended aftermarket warranty company trying to get them to pay for the repair. Rear window power sunshade is malfunctioning. They are supposedly contacting my extended aftermarket warranty company to see if they will cover the repairs. Requires a new part, they cannot fix it.
Mar 2011 88000 mi	The power rear window sunshade material was bunching up instead of disappearing into the cargo shelf like it is supposed to. Car underwent inspection by warranty company, work approved, new part ordered and installed. Both valve covers have been leaking for several months and were gradually getting worse. Warranty company inspected and authorized the replacement of both sides gaskets. The sunroof wind deflector will not raise on its own. The tech said a vinyl strip became stiff and prevents its proper operation. His opinion was too expensive to pay for myself and the warranty company refused to authorize this.
May 2011 89000 mi	I had the car in 30 days before my aftermarket warranty expires. Trunk lock was frozen and the tech lubed and fixed it. Waiting for warranty company to approve a couple of other things. No charges yet because the R.O. remains open.
Jun 2011 89000 mi US $150	Rubber insulation fell off the GPS antenna. The shield is not available by itself so I had to order the painted cap that comes with the antenna shield and the underlying gasket. The rain sensing wiper is not working properly. They installed a new sensor but that did not help. They are now trying to locate the service manual (theirs was discarded) to see if there is any adaptation (programming) required.
Aug 2011 90000 mi US $500	I bought the part and the tech installed the cap for the GPS because the rubber tip had fallen off. The intermittent wiper problem was discovered to be the result of the aftermarket windshield. Due to the cost, I am living with it for now. The auto-dimming rearview driver's side mirror had begun to darken. I ordered the part online and the tech popped it on while I was in the shop for the wiper issue. No additional charge for labor. The tech finally had the service manual and my intermttant wiper problem is diagnosed as the aftermarket windshield. This was still covered by the warranty. I ordered the parts and the tech installed the cap for the GPS antenna (rubber tip broke off) and the photo-chromatic glass for the driver's side mirror (was darkening).
Oct 2011 91000 mi US $200	I had a check engine light and a P0170 code that indicated a possible failed MAF. A friend loaned me one, I swapped them, and that seemed to fix it. I then bought one and installed it myself; problem solved.
Feb 2012 93300 mi	The power rear sunshade malfunctioned again. This is the 2nd time I have had this replaced and I am told they are unrepairable. The last time the aftermarket warranty covered this and this time the 12/12,000 MB warranty did.
Mar 2012 93000 mi	Although I didn't have any known problems I went in for their free safety inspection. I was told that both front ball joints have some play in them. The tech said this is very common.

Jun 2012 219000 mi US $400	AC still not working after recharge. Found to be pressure sensor. The system has 3 sensors, this was the most expensive one. Sensor was replaced and system works perfectly now.
Feb 2013 236000 mi US $250	Needed new bushings up front
Aug 2014 252000 mi	The condenser failed, taking the compressor with it. Entire AC system needed replacing. That repair exceeded the value of the car, so I sold it. The whole car really started to fail at 250,000 miles.
