Thanks for the info... I talked to the dealer again and they told me that it seems to be a flaw and a fix should arrive soon.

another question: Under the hood I noticed the sticker on the CAN bus which basically says the car is a TLEV car and has Calif emissions (obviously, since it was purchased in CA).
What it the difference between the same car with CA emissions and without?

Are there any horsepower losses in the CLK with CA emissions?
