Thanks for your input. Very helpful. My mechanic is as frustrated with this model as I have become. But I plan to stick it out. May have to refinance the house again if repairs for faulty equipment do not settle down soon.
This is my fourth Benz and my second S. Just waiting for another navigation unit to come from LA. Then hopefully I'll get to bring her home.
I have owned the W220 for 12 weeks now. However it has been in the shop for 11 of those weeks. Collapsed suspension, new struts and pump,new ignition switch,new gear selector box, spark plugs, oil change, filters, passenger headlight ignitor module, and of course, the navigation update and repair.
A ruff guess would put the bill at about $8,000.
My $3,400 extended warrenty (Interstate) has covered only $1700 of that stating everything else is pre-existing. Claims denied.

Sorry for the rant....but thanks for your time.
I plan to contact MBUSA when I get all the paperwork finalized with my mechanic.
