Just open your eyes. MB has had numerous major design flaws since the mid 80's, some of which I already listed. Were there any prior to 1985?

I wouldn't call losing your front suspension on the highway a "minor thing".

The most common problem with the CDI's that I've read about is the car going into "limp mode" due to some electronic malfunction. But based on consumer reviews most people seem happy with their CDI's and perhaps Mercedes reliability has been improving in the last few years.
